Busted Up Knees

Went to bed last night at 01:30 hours and got up this morning at 07:10 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and got dressed and then got my lunch box and my Gatorade bottle and loaded then started my car to let it warm up. I then left the house around 07:22 hours and headed on up to Eville to work. I got up there and clocked in. Yeager and Tracey were sleeping on the couches and Troy was sitting in the office chair in the day room. After I clocked in, myself and Troy did a rig check on 6-3. Bowser then showed up, followed by John. The Lykens crew then called down and asked about doing breakfast. We said that was fine, and they said that they would be down. I was not really that hungry since I had somethign when I got to work. While they were making breakfast, the tones went off for an overdose in Halifax Township. Bower took off in 6-2 and John decided that we would follw Bowser class 3 until 13 got out on the call. While out tones went off just after we came off of the Eville Mountain and I went responding as soon as he was dispatching. We ended up getting caneled, which I figured. We went back and I had 4 pieces of toast. We ended up taking a call that was BLS from, 6-5 in I isis and we took the guy up to Pottsville Sundury. Aftwe we got what we needed. When we got back, I clocked out and then left and headed on home. Once at home I changed into street clothes and then read the paper. Amanda had asked me if I wanted to go to the same place and the same time. So I left the house at 16:00 hours and headed up to the fire house. Once at the fire house I loaded everything into the Utility and then put my gear in the Utility. I then pulled the Engine out, pulled the Utility out and then backed the Engine in. I then left and stopped at Rite Aid first and dropped of my two perscriptions. I then stopped at Shell and got a Gatorade and then I headed on down to meet Amanda at TGI Firday's. I got there and we had dinner together and talked about things. We then left there and headed to HACC for out practical trainin for the night. We did Search and Rescue and Hose advancment techniques along with a few tips for each. Crawling through the trailer really chewed up my knees, along with quite a few other people's also. We then cleaned up and I left around 22:15 hours and headed on home. I stopped at Shell and got fuel and then continued on back to the fire house. I pulled the Engine out and backed the Utility in and then backed the Engine in. I then put my gear in my stall and then cleaned the face masks from the SCBA's and put them back on the Utility. I then left there around 23:30 hours and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am tired.
