First Round of Santa

I left the house last night around 19:00 hours to head up to Lykens since it was snowing out and there was already at least 1-1/2 to 2 inches of snow on the ground already. The roads were ok, except my delveopment and Creek Drive weren't plowed yet, but they were passable. I got to the station a little after 19:30 hours and took my stuff inside and I clocked in. I then did a quick rig check on 6-7. I was with Tony for the night and I was happy since it has been months since I last worked with Tony. Then right at 20:00 hours the tones went off for an accident with injuries in Wiconisco Township, just outside of Lykens, where I had just come through about 20 minutes earlier. We got in 6-7 and off we went. It was head on collision with injuries only in the van, where Wiconisco had to take the driver's side door off so we could get both patients out. We loaded both of them into our truck and Tony rode down in the back with them and we went to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed, we headed on back up through. I stopped at Sheetz for Tony and then we stopped at the Eville station so I could restock on backboards and the extrication bag and then we headed back up to Lykens. Once back at the station I hosed the rig down and then complied a list of the items I want to tag at work Sunday. Steve did get the wrong size tags and when I said something to him he told me to just trim them to size. I then watch Dirty Jobs on TV until 02:00 hours and then I got on the computer to check a few things. I then decided to sleep in one of the truck so I wouldn't keep Tony up with my snoring. So I laid down in 6-7 first, but tossed and turned for at least two hours because it was to hot in there since we had a space heater on. I then went back and laid down in 6-5 which was the second due rig and didn't have a heater in. When I laid down it was 04:30 hours. I got up at 07:45 hours when my alarm went off. I got the stuff back on my belt and got my boots on and then went back into the day room and put my pillow away and then got the stuff out of 6-7 that was mine. Jim then got there and then Kathy showed up and I clocked out and then we ended up talking out in the bay for a little bit. I then left and stopped at Wal-Mart. I got two Christmas cards and a few other things. I then stopped at the Eville station and then stopped at Swab's but they still hadn't started any new construction on the body, so I headed on home. Once at home I changed into pj's and after talking to my mother for a little bit, I went back to bed to get some more sleep. I got up this afternoon at 13:00 hours. I got out of bed and ate lunch while I read the paper. I then wrapped Christmas presents and then got on the PS2 and played some Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. I then got off around 17:00 hours and made and ate dinner while I did a few things online and watched MASH on TV. I then got my Santa suit together and left the house around 17:45 hours and headed up to the fire hall for bingo tonight. I came in as Santa during halftime and handed out Navel's to all the players and then went back down and changed and then called the second half of bingo. Bingo was pretty good tonight with 26 players, the most we have had in awhile. After bingo was over we took care of a few things and then I left a little after 22:00 hours and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to be going to bed as I am tired.
