That’s right. After faithfully attending this paramedic class since 9/11/06 I just had my last day of official class. The down side is that I’ll be up there nearly every day doing practical practices, (I know that sounds like a redundancy) until Oct. 6th. By the six I should be practical enough to take the National Registry’s Practical test. Then after that is when I need to schedule a “written” test (i.e. one that is done on a computer [Would that be a typen test?]).
This last month has been nothing but one long set of clinicals and work. As soon as I left work I went to clinicals and after I left clinicals I went to work. I soon got to where I was UPSing food and water to the cats. I came home last week and Dennis wouldn’t have anything to do with me until I put some brown shorts on.
On the other hand, when last I had visited Dunlay, I came back with one of Bert’s plants in a galvanized bucked. I set it on the back porch and figured that it would just wait and demise likes any of the other small plants I have had to fool with. I have notice last week that the plant had bloomed, (What, it hadn’t died yet!). So when I talked to Pat and Eddie I asked them what type of plant it was, then I had to describe the plant because they didn’t remember which one they sent with me, they told me that it was a “wandering jew”. So I looked it up on the internet, and discovered that “wandering jew” wasn’t really “politically correct”, and the “correct” moniker was “purple heart”, (but it is in the “jew” family of plants, go figure). I looked up the care of this plant and learn that I have been giving it perfect care, i.e. LEAVE IT ALONE. I think this plant and I are going to get along just fine. By the way, that’s its picture in the upper left hand corner.
A couple of shout out are also in order.
The First one is to Eddie on his recent successful surgery, and that he is learning the value of following the doctors orders.
And another one to Ronald Guy Penny, on his successful surgery too.
