On at Midnight

Went to bed last night at 02:30 hours and was rocked out of bed this morning around 10:04 hours when the pager went off for seizures in Halifax Borough. I got out of bed and got dressed and then got in my car and headed into the "Barn". I got in there and Carol was already there. I parked the car and then got in 13-2 and off we went. It was for at the Jelly Bean Junction. We got there and it ended up being a refusal. After we got the refusal, we went back to the shed. Once there, I logged my time in and then headed on home. Once at home I sat down and started to read the paper. Then around 11:40 hours the pager went off for breathing problems at SLV. I got my boots back on and got in my car and headed back into the shed. I got there, parked and got back in 13-2 and off we went. It ended up being released to BLS and after we got the guy loaded up, I drove on down to Osteo. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. Once back at the shed, I logged my time in and then headed on home. Once at home I threw my BDU's in the wash and then changed into street clothes. I then read the paper and then got on the computer to do a few things. Bubba then called and asked me to come up to the fire house for a few minutes cause he wanted to talk to me. I went up and was there for about 30 minutes and then headed back home. Once at home I made and ate dinner while I watched MASH. I then left around 17:35 hours and headed up to the fire house to pick up my gear. Helen was standing outside of her Jeep with a flat right rear tire. I asked her if she wanted a ride in and after she could not find the jack in her car she said yes. I went down to the fire house and grabbed my gear and Helen threw her gear in my trunk and then she talked to Bubba and he said he would change the tire. So I gave Helen a ride into class and then she went home with LeeAnn. Class went good, until it came time to do the gear test. I have to retest Thursday as my time was 1:02. I was a little upset about that. During class I heard over 29's scanner that we had a call and later found out that it was for chest pains on Armstrong Valley Road. When we were out doing the gear test we heard Sue go enroute to the hospital. After class was over I went to Sheetz and got gas. Sue then called me to see how I was doing as Amanda had sent her a text with her time and my time and said that I was upset about the time. She then asked me how to change a "M" tank on 13-2. I tried to tell her and then asked her if she just wanted me to stopped and show them. She said that was fine and that they were coming to Sheetz to grab something to eat. I told her that I had to stop at Giant and then I would be out. I stopped at Giant and got a case of soda and two cases of water for my mother and then headed to the shed. Once there I showed Sue how to change the "M" tank and told her that if she ever needed help changing a tank to either call me or Alf. We then talked for a little bit and then the three of us were getting ready to leave when Jeff Enders called Kim to let her know that they had a call for backs pains in Reed Township. They left and I headed out to the fire house to met up with Bill. Bubba was still there and he gave me some tips on how to speed my time up. I then went inside and talked to Bill for about 30 minutes and then I praticed getting my gear on. I got it down to 57 seconds. I thanked Bill and then headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and talked to Sue for a little bit. I am soon going to crash in bed as I am tired.
