Success

My first shift back after being off for a month of mental health rest was successful.  We only had to attend to one call, and oddly enough it was a mental health call.  My new temporary partner and I chatted quite a bit and found we had a lot in common.  It was a good day.

Now, since starting back at work, work nightmares have returned.  Not of calls that I have done, but just gory or scary events happen during my dream.  Last night during some downtime I had a dream that someone was intentionally run over and crushed by a dump truck, and the man driving the dump truck was pure evil.  I remember sobbing uncontrollably in my dream.  However, I also went camping during that dream, so who knows where my head is at.

One thing for certain is that the base pager still startles the hell out of my heart.  I swear it puts me into a tachycardia whenever it goes off, it's so loud.  Jolts you up fro where you're sitting.

I'm about to pick up the kids from the school bus and then tonight we are off to gymnastics.  I'm so glad I decided to enroll them as they look forward to it each week.  My oldest wants to be a ninja warrior, so this is great training!  We are supposed to get a wicked winter and ice storm tonight & tomorrow, so I'm expecting there to be a snow day and the kids will be home with me.  Then I work all Easter weekend.  I don't mind though, overtime shifts and so I get to bank my overtime to take days off later.

My family and I will celebrate Easter the following week and combine it with a little birthday celebration for moi!  It'll be nice for the kids to have Easter with their dad, but this will be his first time with them so I sure hope he plans for the Easter bunny's arrival.  otherwise, there will be some disappointed little boys.

Until next time!
