Starting out the day. Moving a full size bed up a narrow set of stairs, around a corner, out the door on a op of the van get to rigged to the top, driven a mile down the road, carried up another set of stair, another tight corner and finally to the bed room... Before: After: Realizing we aren't even close to done. Well, we aren't really done yet. But.... we're close enough to live in it!

Moving in: Day 1.

So Eliza and I just signed the lease for our new apartment! We've started slowing migrating our stuff there. At the moment we have about five laundry baskets, a little table, a magic bullet and a kitchen-aid mixer... that's it. We are planning a "BIG" move for Saturday. I've gotta talk to a few people about borrowing trucks to move a couch, bed, and dresser. After that we should be moved in! now I have to go write a list of people that need to get notified of my address change. The list is quickly getting longer now that I've got a job, licenses, and other misc. issues. Here's some phone pictures.

600 hours in.

it's now coming to the end of July. I've put in over 600 hundred hours for delta since mid may. I've been talking to the medics about skills and assessment. I've been getting my fare share of hands on practice moving Pts, dealing with issues, paperwork, documentation. All that fun stuff. So now I've got to start trying to get cleared for ALS.  Now, I know HIPPA is a legit thing so I can't talk about patients. However. I do know I'm not gaining or refining skills bringing people to alcohol detox. Don't get me wrong. I love my job! Even if it's something stupid I'm still helping people a hell of a lot more then selling donuts and coffee. However, the basic truck is getting monotonous . I am gonna shoot for just one ALS shift every so often like one every week or two, but I honestly think I'm ready. Am I? No. Its just like driving. It doesn't matter how long you study or how many times you talk about it, all that matters is what you do behin
