Say Hi!

I just woke up. I slept 8 hours in a row. It's a good feeling.

I was so tired last night I kept forgetting my partner's name. It's not like he's that new, we've talked before. The shift was interesting, a big change from days.... we ran one call, got food for comm, watched youtube with the dispatchers for a bit, went back out to post and read books and went online, took a three hour nap, and got to go in to the station early. One of the medics had some statistic about how we are now working at the "acceptable" level, where we're more slow than busy, and we're less likely to burn out.

I'm going to need more books.

My partner said some people from his class go with him to climbing gyms two or three times a week, and invited me along. He used to teach at an adventure camp for little kids and is teaching one of the girls how to climb, everyone else already knows. He told me not to spend money on lessons at REI because he can teach me. Sweet!

Now this is dinner! I've had enough days of EMS lounge food and nights of whatever I can assemble with little to no effort (yogurt and peanut butter sandwiches), it was time to actually MAKE something.

( this is what I do in my spare time )

I have been a slacker. I get annoyed because a lot of the things that I want to put up are things I run across at work at times that it wouldn't be appropriate to snap a picture. (the hospital room with the COR-0/Code Blue button taped over with red electrical tape saying DO NOT TOUCH is a cool example. do not resuscitate!)

Here is another self portrait from behind the camera, as Jen put it.
( good morning )

Fakemono is getting settled in.
( when in doubt, post a cute kitty cat. )

I had a bunch of beautiful, poetic stuff to say about this one. Seriously. But I'm tired and that's all gone. SNOW!!!
( 11th and Bannock )

I have been taking pictures. Usually too busy or tired to post them. Here's a picture I took this morning.
( moment of chill )

This is a picture of my apartment. It's a "before" picture.

In honor of caturday:

I haven't been doing this every day. It's hard to come up with pictures, and time to take them, when I do the same things every day. Or I forget my camera, or I see something cool but I'm working or don't have time or whatever.

Part of the reason I wanted to do this was as a challenge to see how I could find interesting little bits in everyday situations. I'll have to work on that. Maybe another cute kitty picture.

For now, I have this:

Taken last night. I wanted to get a snuggly kitty picture.

I think everyone needs some pet therapy today.
( it's the dog )

This is my project for the next few days.

I have a pink bedroom. I didn't paint it.
I have wanted to take a picture of my room, sort of as a "before" picture, and because my pink room has become a joke at work.... but I haven't wanted to post it. I never have other people in my room so it seems like a super personal space. But there's nothing in there, just a bed, TV, laundry basket, and some shoes.
( here goes... )

I rode home on Carr St to avoid a big hill. I got my camera out hoping I would see the fox I saw last time. No such luck. I did catch a couple minutes of a game...
( not a great picture )

Jen took this on her phone and said, "You need to post this!"
So, here is Fakemono.

This is the Tank. My "toy bike," but for all my whining, it's actually pretty tough. I have something resembling a sentimental attachment to this bike (as much as that's possible with an inanimate object.)

I didn't post a picture yesterday. I was really tired, so I just didn't post.

Fakemono wants to eat a bug.
( big bug )

Here's one I snapped on the way to work. I was going to show some nature, but.... naah.
( creativity )

My accomplishment, the story of the day, was my awesome muffins and my cup of tea. I'm not thinking abstractly enough to make that compelling photography.

This isn't either, but here is a picture of Spotsamono, the cat who thinks he lives here. He's singing at Fakemono, the cat who moved himself in.
( yes, I said it, Spotsamono. )
