Whooo, I've been busy. On Monday morning around 3 AM, we got a call for a vehicle accident. I went and got home around 5:30. Then, Tuesday morning we had a transport. I drove. Then, Tuesday evening we had a call for a vehicle rollover. I rode third person and worked on the dude. What a fun day! Nevermind the fact that I hadn't really slept. I had tried, but couldn't... and just when I fell asleep, they called with the transport. So, I got maybe 10 minutes of sleep. But I've since caught up, and I'm doing good now. I'll soon be sleeping... ahhh, how nice!

Yesterday, I went to the Nevada State Fair with my family. It was a good time. I rode a few rides, but what really sticks out is the animals. I've never really visited the animals at a fair, but we had the kids with us, so we spent a good bit of time with the animals. I LOVE GOATS. I just had to get that out. They are so much fun!

Hmm..... money issues. Not fun. I need to yell at someone or something soon. Not good times. haha.

I'm still trying to think of a new design for this place. I don't know. I don't have much time to do that anyhow.

I think I'll play my guitar now.

Hellooooooooo blog.

Basically, nothing of note is happening. I'm here. Waiting. And nothing is happening. It's really exciting. Oh, I really kicked my Mom's butt in scrabble yesterday. THAT was a good time. Whoo, let me tell yah... when you can use the word "equips" with q on triple letter and s on double word, you are really rolling. I beat her by about 150 points. I enjoyed it.

I kinda want a hamburger. Basically... sucks for me. Oh well.

Tomorrow, we are going to the Nevada State Fair. We are taking Lizz. She is leaving on Saturday (which is quite a bummer), so we all wanted to do something with her. It should be a good time, even though I probably won't be going on any of the rides or anything. Those fairs are muy expensivo. No tengo mucho dinero. Anyhow, I need to update my i-mood. I'm the only person who has updated today. Except Laura! Except I think that was yesterday, and I just hadn't seen. So it doesn't count. By the way! I'm adding Laura's blog to my links over on the left. It is wonderful, and you should go there. I mean that. Laura is an internet buddy from CGR, as are most of my friends these days. But here is the link, and in the future, look for "pensamientos humildes" in the side bar. Unless she tells me that I'm a moron, and that isn't the name of the blog. Have a good day.

Ahhhh, another day.

The league had us make up our game from Tuesday. Apparently, it was an important game. The team that we should have been playing needed the win to make the playoffs. So we gave it to them. Actually, we put up one heck of a fight. If only that won games. We had the tying run on first, bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh... HARD liner to center... if it would have gotten by, it would have been at least a triple, probably a home run. But... the home boy made an AMAZING catch, and we ended the half without a win. It was fun, though.

And other than that, I'm just doing my thing. Still truckin along. Loving life.

**Edit** - I hit a triple! In the 6th. At the time, we were down 17-1. It was my first (only) triple of the year, and it felt great!

Hello... My friends... Hello. Today, I went to the Plumas-Sierra County Fair. Counties Fair? I dunno. It's for both counties, and it kinda sucks. But it was a fairly good time, I suppose.

I'm back on call! I actually took 6 hours off for the fair. And now I'm home, and on call again. Whoo! Money.

We had pizza for dinner. Round Table. It was gooooood. It was... I don't know. Splendiforous. Really, it was. I couldn't believe how good it was. And stuff.

Ahhh, the final softball game of the year... We finally got a win. First time since the third week of the season.

But it was a win by forfeit. For the love... bah. I really wanted to play tonight... but no game. All because the parks and rec department screwed up the schedule. Yay. Soo... yeah. Here I am. No more softball, which bums me out a bit. I love having it there... doing it... and for it to end like this is just... bah.

I am back on call in 37 minutes. I'm hoping for a middle of the night call tonight. That would be good. Or at least a call tomorrow afternoon.

I am listening to my older CDs. It's kinda fun. I fell in love with Nifty Tom 50 all over again. The old version. Not the new one. Good times.

Me and my sporadic updating... Sorry... but right now, most things are the same every day.

I'm on call 24 hrs/day, 6 days/week for the rest of the month. Whoo! Lots of money. I have yet to figure it out, but it should be plenty.

Anyhow... I am off on Tuesdays. Softball day. Yay! Haha. PEACE!

I felt a whole lot better today. I slept for about 12 hours. That was niiiice. I have softball tonight. We need to win. We had some other issues that were resolved... personal conflicts, and not shining Christ's light... now that that's taken care of, maybe we can PLAY better. I was the only person hitting worth beans last week... and that's saying something. I've been terrible this year. Anyhow, should be fun either way.

I missed my shift yesterday because of being sick the day before. no worries, I think. I need the money, but I needed to recover worse. Anyhow, I need sleep again... funny how that works. I feel like I'm the only one updating my blog any more. baaahhhhh. Hahaha. Hope you all are doing okay, because i haven't heard from any of you, other than Marcos and Carly. Have a great day.

It started as a slight headache when I was on the phone. Within 10 minutes of getting off the phone, I knew it was a migraine in waiting. I rushed to the bathroom to take a couple of migraine pills. Too late. Another five minutes later, full blown migraine, and... puke. I'm still... nauseated... eww. I'm not having fun. At least the headache is mostly gone. Goodnight.

Some days, the place you live is the pit of despair. Then, some days...

You start the day off with a lovely tornado warning. And massive amounts of other people freaking. Then, when that's over, it's just thunder storms. No biggy... and everything is fine... so you go get your radio for your upcoming shift. Then, a little girl falls out of a tree. And you decide to go.

Yeah, some days are just more interesting.
