Wednesdays My Last Day Off Before My Monday Begins

Wednesday "Hump Day" for normal working people, No one has ever accused me of being "Normal"I fell out of my parent's maple tree forty (40) years ago.

Our youngest daughter Torrie pounds on the keys of her Fischer Price Children's Keyboard awaiting the use of this computer.

Patience is not one of Torrie's virtues.

Buddy Our Hound half Blue tick half beagle is currently correcting our other hound Cherokee a boar striped Dachshund.

Torrie is five going on to twenty five. At Times pushing all of daddy's buttons at once. This past week we have all been sick Torrie taking the worst of it. Stomach Bug.
Feeling claustrophobic in our apartment therefore I will be getting ready to do something before I burn up my day off.

Later all ...........oh by the way I have started the process of looking for the path to publish at least one book.

A day Off

Monday is my Saturday as my sister once observed, My Shift Bid for a Nationally Recognized Ambulance Service. This has been a long tour of duty. My usual shift is Thursday, Friday, Staurday,and Sunday. Saturday I was "ordered in " for the midnight to 8am shift. On Saturday at 8 I was informed that there was a "Book Off" restriction translated I have 6 hours off before I am scheduled to return to work.

In that time frame I have to drive home, eat something and try to sleep and explain to my 5 year old that Daddy can't play or visit with her right now. This does not include my relationship with my wife or immediate family. .............No Time.

I love my proffession, however I often wonder if the general public realizes or even cares the price Public safety providers and their families pay so that they may be served when their needs arise?

When do my families get their turn? their needs met by their Father/Husband/Son/Brother/Friend?

"A Day Off" never a weekend, but sacred to all involved Bye for Now off to enjoy our day.

Just Posted on Torrie's Blog. Getting ready for work. Torrie is getting ready for school she goes in the afternoon. Starting to write again and possibly ready to find someone to help me write my book. Easy Sarah don't pass out. Bye for now.
