Tonight I'm going to work one of my clinicals in the ER. I go in from 7pm to 7am. I tried to stay up really late so I would sleep longer, but I woke up at 10 anyway. That sucks.
I had a dream that I went back to our old house in Pecos. When I got there I found several things that I've been missing. 1.) My Harry Potter 4 book. (Hardback... I had to buy the softback so my collection would be complete.) 2.) One of my old cellphones. I turned it on and it still had full power and I had a voicemail. On the voicemail was a person that I've developed a lot of anger and resentment for because of history that exists between us. On the voicemail he said stuff that I've been waiting to hear, subconsciously I guess. That issue felt dead to me a long time ago, but I guess there was some residiual hurt still. I feel better thanks to a dumb dream. :) 3.) My old Donkey Kong game. It was a full arcade game that sat in my room. I was the coolest cat on the block. 4.) In the box where I found my Harry Potter book, there were all my Garbage Pail Kids cards. I don't know if people remember those and I don't know why the hell I found them in my dream. I hated those things and only collected them because of the peer pressure. Everyone was doing it. Anyway, the dream ended with me trying to find my way back home through this forest. It was Alice in Wonderland like. Except that peeking from behind a lot of the trees... were children who had died. They smiled at me and waved. Yeah .............. I have no idea what that's about.
So now I'm awake and have nothing to do for a little while. I wonder if I can fall back to sleep....

Last night was my first real EMS run ever. It was awesome. It was a car accident and one of the wounded was bleeding quite a bit. Blood was really what I was worried about because I had never seen large amounts of it, so I didn't know how I would really handle seeing it. I handled it quite well, I have to admit. We've been over where everything is in the ambulance, but in the midst of the call, trying not to bust my ass on the road where all the ice was and trying to keep myself from looking HAPPY about being on a run, I completely forgot the location of ANY of the equipment on the rig. When we got to the hospital, I was telling them about it and apparently that's pretty normal. I'll need to get a little more familiar with the rig in the days to come so that I'll hopefully remember things when the adrenaline gets pumping. I had some trouble sleeping last night, but it wasn't because of the blood and other body stuff I had to see. It was because I kept thinking about the family and how much that sucked. I guess that's the part that gets ya. Anywho, I'm so ready to go again and like I told one of the medics at the hospital, this is definitely what I'm doing for the rest of my life. No doubt.

I guess when you don't blog for a long time, things that are blogworthy tend to circle around you until you blog 80 times to make up for it. I feel like an addict....
Many years ago, I found a website called Ninjai. It had several chapters of a flash animation story about The Little Ninja. Then, the series got to a pinnacle part in the story and the site became hugely popular. Since then, they've taken the chapters down, put them back up, taken them down, re-released the same chapters and eventually put up two new chapters which were later taken down and have yet to make another appearance. I visit the site every other month or so and it does nothing but piss me off. The message boards are a silly haven for fanboys and girls who have "stuck it out" through the years, but have never really been rewarded with anything. The Ninjai gang likes to push its little clothing line and drop tidbits of information to the fandorks, but nothing has come out of them for at least a year and a half. I wish that they would just close the site until they're ready to put out new work. If these flash animations were 30 minutes or an hour long, I might understand the issue, but the animations are usually like 5-6 minutes long. It was started as a side project, from what I understand. They need to start putting more things out and stop feeding off of mindless fandorks, already.
If you can't tell, I'm boycotting the site for the rest of it's non-producing life. I'm sure they'll care.
p.s. If they update, please email me. Thanks.

So, I got Wendy to finally start a blog. :) I never knew she had one that was secret. But NOW! A public one!
And, news with Misti..... Davis is 6 lbs 6 oz and 20 inches long. Mommy Misti was apparently watching a golf tournament between contractions and is doing well. I haven't heard much about Danny, but I'm sure I will! I'll get to go home next week for a day or so and hopefully I can stop by for a few minutes to see the new bebbe and parents. Anyway, Misti and Danny, I love you! I'm excited and proud and happy for you. Davis, I'm Crazy Aunt Moe. It'll be nice to meet you when I do. :)
