Today my baby turns 3(but no party 'til Saturday). Today is also my last day as a Lieutenant paramedic for Sedgwick County EMS. Beginnings and endings. It is a bittersweet kind of day. I may try to run after work. Update: towards the end of my shift, with all the paperwork caught up and the west side quiet, my partner drove me 1/4 mile to a middle school track. I got my jumpsuit ready, changed into shorts and a t-shirt, and knocked out 20 laps in the dark while my partner listened to the radio with the promise to light it up if we got a call. We didn't get get a call while I was running. Then we drove to post and time was up and we logged off. So that was it. I got to my car and surprised myself by bursting into tears. Now I am emotional and up late blogging and drinking chamomile tea. It's cool that I got to run myself into the next chapter of life. SCEMS is family to me. I first stepped onto one of their ambulances 9 years ago as a student. Wow. Since then I've been married, birthed a child, adopted children, and done a lot of growing up(well not too much). Time goes so, so fast. Okay enough of being dramatic on my blog, I'm just going to sit here and think about the thousands upon thousands of memories I have and be thankful that I had the experiences I had. I've seen a lot, all over the spectrum from horror to miraculous. Alright I'm done for real now. good night!
