What a day!

Went to bed around 03:00 hours last night and around 03:45 hours the pager went off for a call in Upper Paxtown Township at SLV. I leaned out of bed and grabbed the phone and called Dohn and Carol houses to make sure that they were up, which they were. I then went back to bed and got up at 07:00 hours when my alarm went off. The cat then jumped on the bed and I layed back down after turning my alarm off. About 3 minutes later the phone rang and I picked up and it was the delivery guys from Lowe's saying that they would be up between 10:00 hours and 12:00 hours. I then told my father as he walked by to use the restroom and then I layed back down in bed. I then got up around 07:54 hours. I got out of bed and got dressed and then grabbed something for breakfast and got in my car and headed into town. I ran up to Giant and picked up four cases of Vianilla Coke for my brother, I also got a gallon of milk and a gallon of iced tea, and a pint og chocolate milk for breakfast. I then headed on back to the "Barn". I then did my paperwork on yesterdays call and then I checked my email quickly and then I started clearing the stuff out of the cab of the ambulance. Bill then showed up and we cleared out the outside compartments, and then Carol showed up, followed by Dohn. We then cleared out the inside compartments and then I called down to Keystone to let them know that the unit was stripped and ready for them to pick up. They said that Alan was out on the road and that he would call me back before he came up. Dohn then made an oxygen run and me, Bill, and Carol sat the the shed. Dohn got back and just as he did, Keystone called me back and said that Alan was on his way up and should be here between 14:00 hours and 14:30 hours. I then helped Dohn unload the Oxygen tanks and put them away and then we put the stretcher in the mechanical room for now. Then the four of us talked. Alan then showed up around 14:00 hours and we talked for a little bit and then he took off with 13-2. Kind of felt strange seeing it go for the last time. On the one hand, she was a good truck and had a lot of memories on it, on the other hand, she was starting to become a problem with systems on her. Then around 14:30 hours the pager went off for bleeding in Upper Paxton Township at SLV. We got in 13-1 and off we went. County advised us of what we had and that the lady was requesting to go to Pottsville General. So I called Dohn and asked him if he felt up to taking a trip and he said yes and I told him to meet us at SLV. So we got up there and got the lady loaded onto the stretcher and then into the ambulance. By that time, Dohn was there and he parked his truck. Carol then said that since we had no second unit, she would go along and ride up front so she could see how to get to Pottrsville for future reference. We got the lady up there and after we got what we needed we headed on home. We stopped at KFC and we all got something to eat for dinner. We then continued on our way home. We got back to SLV and Dohn picked up his truck and we went back to the shed, I logged my time in and then talked for a little bit and then headed on home. Once at home I got to see the new fridge downstairs and it looks good. We now have everything that we had in the coolers in this fridge. I then setteled down to watch the Rose Bowl. Boy what a game. Texas comes back to best USC in the final 2 minutes of the game. I am glad the bowl games are over, I do not know if my heart could take another night of a close game, and boy was this game ever close. The paper today hit the score almost dead center of the nail head. They said that Texas was going to win 40 to 38..... the score was 41 to 38, Texas. I will be checkeing my email shortly and then hitting the sack as it was another long day.
