a pause in the action

it never fails.  i have all these ideas running through my head, but by the time i get here to write them all down my mind is oddly blank.  more so i don’t know where to begin, i think.

am enjoying a night off.  work has been work.  some nights are dead and others are busy.  we finally took over fire dispatch, so now i answer all calls for police, fire, and ems, routine and 911.  i’ve been able to get more involved with the firehouse and am enjoying that imensely.  in a few weeks i will be attending the fairfield fire school to do a 4 month intensive course that inclueds the fire 1, fire 2 and hazmat programs.  normall they would offer each class seperately.  i have to be nuts and it’s goign to be a brutal schedule on top of my working midnights in dispatch (2 4 hour night classes and 1 8 hour weekend class per week), but im looking forward to it at the same time.  met someone new, and of all things, through his myspace page for a book he wrote on ems.    we would email off and on, and just recently caught up with each other on facebook.  we have been talking on the phone or through random txts, and all of a sudden there is this strong connection.  who knows.  will see what happens as time goes on.  at least this time it is someone who shares a lot of my thoughts and beliefs, and even is in the same field as i am.  it is such a breath of fresh air to talk to someone who understands what i go through, or can go through, at work and what it is like to be passionate about this job.

anyway, my stomach is growling so loudly it’s makeing it hard to concentate.  guess i should go work on dinner.  will be nice to cook and not order out tonight.
