A Day of Sleep in the Heat

I went to bed Saturday night around 01:45 hours and got up Sunday morning at 07:10 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and got dressed and then grabbed my camera and suitcase and took them out to the kitchen. I then packed my lunch and got my Gatorade bottles together. I then left the house around 07:30 hours and headed on up to Lykens to go to work. I got up there and parked and got my stuff and headed inside. John was sleeping on the couch and Ron was on the bottom bunk. I put my lunch box and Gatorade bottles in the fridge. I then clocked in and went out and did a rig check on 6-4. 08:00 hours rolled around and Tim was not there yet. I called his cell phone twice and got no answer. Ron asked weather Tim was coming in or not. I said I would be right back and then got in my car and headed up to Tim's apartment to see if he was home. Both his car and motorcycle were there, so I knocked on his door. He answered and said he would be down and that he told Steve that he would be in a little late do to being at Hershey Park on Saturday. I went back down to the station and told Ron. Ron ended up leaving before Tim got in and before he left he woke John up who was sound asleep. Tim then showed up and he laid down on the couch to get some sleep while I did a few things online. Then around 09:50 hours the tones went off for breathing problems in Wiconisco Township. We got in 6-4 and off we went. We got there and we called for 23 to come out to help with lift assist and once we got the lady loaded, we headed on down to Harrisburg Hospital. While we were on the scene, Kathy and Wertz took a call in Washington Township. We got down to the hospital and the tones went off again for a call in Lykens. Williamstown ended up coming down as the BLS truck and Jim went up as ALS and they went to Harrisburg Hospital. 6-3 went to Holy Spirit Hospital with their patient. After I cleaned the unit up, I moved it out of the stall and went upstairs to visit with my grandfather for about 5 to 10 minutes. I then left and we headed on back. We stopped at the fire hall and had chicken and waffles. We then left and stopped at the Eville station to restock and I grabbed some supplies to take back up to Lykens. We then left and stopped at Wal-Mart. I got a badge holder as mine had broke that morning. We then headed back up to Lykens. Once there I put the supplies away and then we both laid down on the couches and Tim went to sleep and I went to sleep for a few hours. I woke up around 16:30 hours and I ate my lunch while I checked a few things online. Tim them woke up and we both watched TV then. Then around 20:00 hours we decided to go get something to eat. We went down to The Wing Co and ate there. As we were turning in, the tones went off for a diabetic problems in Upper Paxton Township. Yeager and Wertz took that call. We then left and headed back up to Lykens. Once there Tim worked on his chart and I popped the second DVD of Gallagher into the DVD player and watched both of those shows and then I put my Bill Cosby DVD in and watched that. Tim left at 01:10 hours and headed up to his apartment and I went to bed around 01:45 hours. The tones went off around 03:45 hours for abdominal pains in Williamstown Borough. I got up and had to go to the bathroom quick and then got the stuff back on my belt and then got in 6-4 and put us responding. I picked up Tim at his place and we headed on up. 24 ended up not getting out so we got the guy loaded up and took him up to Pottsville Good Sam. After we got what we needed up there, we headed on back. We stopped at Dunkin Doughnuts and we both got something to eat for breakfast and then headed on back. We stopped at Lykens so Tim could get the Narc numbers and then headed on down to Eville so Tim could restock his Morphine and I restocked his bag. We then headed back up to Lykens and I laid back down in bed around 06:30 hours. I woke up at 07:57 hours when John came in. I got up and got the stuff back on my belt and then put my pillow away. Tony came in a little late and the four of us talked for a little bit and then I clocked out and left around 08:30 hours and headed on home. Once at home I changed into pj's and went back to bed to get some more sleep. I woke up this afternoon at 13:10 hours. I got out of bed and changed into street clothes and then ate lunch and read the paper. I then left around 14:20 hours and headed up to the fire house to work on the Utility. Bubba was there and we talked for a little bit and then Kenny came down. Bubba left for work and I got the Indian Rake heads out and painted them and then we washed the yellow 2-1/2" hose so it can be put back on the Engine Wednesday night. I then we taped the rake heads and did the green. Troy and LeeAnn then showed up and then Schoffstall showed up and started working on the Engine. Troy pulled the Tanker out and I pulled the Utility out and painted the tailgate. I then put the Utility away and closed everything up and then told Troy that I was done and he would put the Tanker away. I then headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am now getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.
