Report From Ladder Company 40 Day 123 and 124

Hi Team!

Sorry I did not post on Saturday.  I spent most of my computer time trying to get some pictures uploaded.  I was having problems.

Saturday was a good day.  I slept about 9 hours and then had a nap later in the day for about 2 1/2 hours.  YAY ME!

I drank all my required fluids (about 3 quarts) but did not get a lot of exercise.  I still don't have a new pedometer and it will be at least a couple of weeks, most likely, before I do.  Again, if anyone knows where I can find an ankle mount pedometer, please tell me.  I know they have them for medical research purposes but I don't know if they are available to the general public or if they are affordable.  Pete took quite a beating on my hip though.  (RIP, Pete!)

Saturday night was my monthly TPC Fire Buff Battalion meeting.  I always look forward to our meetings.  I was voted in as club secretary!  YAY ME!!  I also was issued my official membership card, a fire coat with liner and an official club fire phone!

I'm official!

I can't run fire calls yet though.  I have to wait until I get my official ID badge from the fire department.  I'm so close I can smell the smoke!

Sunday was a typical day of rest.  I have had my fluids, only 2 quarts, but that qualifies.  I had plenty of sleep but I didn't do much else.  2 for 3 for friday and for saturday is all I can claim.  Tomorrow should be better though.  I am meeting Coach Alex in the morning and we are going to walk our butts off! =D

Until next blog, stay safe!

Please, say a prayer for the victims and for the rescuers in Haiti.  That was so cool seeing the Haitians singing praises to God despite their hardships!  We could learn from that.
