SPOOKY STUFF---THIS REALLY EXISTS

FYI EVERYONE- There's a site called spokeo.com and it's an online phone book that has a picture of your house, credit score, profession, age, how many people live in the house. Remove yourself by the Privacy button on the bottom right. (passing along, scary stuff!) I personally checked it out and it is really there! Some of the info wasn't correct, but there was enough that was correct to warrant removing it.

TRAINING DAY

This afternoon I will go to the Fire Center and take the updated training for Fire Business Management. I will have one more required training before I can go out after May 28th. These trainings will allow me to participate on fires if I want to and they need me. Without the training I can't go so guess I will take it. I am not sure that I am going to go out but I want to at least keep the option open in case I decide to go.

For sure fire is the part of my job that I miss the most---I got a call from an adjoining district last week with an invitation to help burn 2000 acres---can't do that anymore due to physical limitations but it was nice to get the call---I told him if he needed help with moving stuff I could do that. It is fun to get these calls from people you hired and trained that still want you around.

UPDATE ON INKLINGS MOM 4/21/2010

Just got off the phone with Inklings and the doctor put a drain in her mother to take the fluids out of the area where she was bleeding internally last week. It is no longer blood but fluid is still accumulating near the incision. Inklings said her mother is tired from teh trip but did really good. The doctor put the drain in at the office. Inklings has to take the fluids off with a syringe that attatches to the drain. I have no idea how long she will be gone but the doctor wants her mother back in one week to see if he can remove the drain. Guess time will tell. Seems to me that she is doing much better as time goes by.

I'll post another update when and if I know more information.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Not me---Inklings. She went last night to take her mother back to the doctor early today. We are all hoping that her mom is better and won't have to go back into surgery to stop the internal bleeding that was occurring at the last Doctor visit. The visit was scheduled for Tuesday and I was going to go with her but the doctor rescheduled her Monday afternoon to Wednesday at 10:30---made it so I couldn't go.

We are supposed to get the new doors for our house this week---hopefully they came in and we can get them hung. It will be nice when that part of our house is finished. Then we can start looking for other things to take care of.

EARTHQUAKES

For the past few months I have been thinking that earthquakes are getting higher in magnitude and are happening faster---so I googled earthquakes and found that this is likely to be just a normal year. I seriously wonder about that---take a look at the map---the Pacific is completely ringed by earthquakes---AND THIS MAP IS JUST EARTHQUAKES IN THE LAST 8 TO 30 DAYS!!!!

UPDATE ON INKLINGS MOM 4/13/10

This uis likely the last update on her. She is doing better each day but she had flu like symptoms Monday and has had some problems with gas. She is getting stronger as the days pass so that is a good sign. She has a Doctor visit scheduled for Thursday (4/15) to see how the doctor thinks she is doing. We think it will be a few more days before she can drive herself so Inklings is going to stay until the doctor says she is good to drive. Don't know much more than that but she seems to be improving a lot every day---at least that is my take.

OUR YOUNGEST DAUGHTER GETS ENGAGED

Here is the picture of our youngest daughter getting engaged last Friday. It is a cute picture and we are happy that she has found a good guy to marry.
