I see dead people

I Finally have some time to write since I rolled my ankle today. Not cool.
I Was running to my cabin and what would you know? Your ankle is not very good when it’s where your foot is supposed to be. I heard a loud pop, and boom -I was on the ground thinking if I have to go to the ER and they have to straighten my foot out, I want morphine in my veins. I was with a friend, Erica Greeve, while she was in the ER to get her foot fixed. They just gave her a pain killer by mouth and started tweakin’ her foot around before the meds kicked in. Let me tell you what she said. Naughty words a sailor would think twice about saying. All I know is that wasn’t going to be me. Well they didn’t need to do any of that. Being an EMT and all, I knew to keep my foot straight and leave it that way until the ER doctor took a look at it.

I did another ride along this week with City Ambulance. I know I’ve found my calling. I love helping people in need, though it’s sometimes sad, like when we got called to a possible death. When we got there you could hear voices in the house yelling,”Daddy wake up!” It was obvious that he was dead by the way he looked, very pale. So we started to put all our gear back in the ambulance, then the Medic ran out and said, “Hurry bring the gear back in!” When I got back in the house the guy seemed to be breathing. Bubbles would come out of his mouth and then disappear. I started checking for pulses while the Medic hooked up the monitor. Nope. He was dead. The bubbles were from the pressure still in his chest. Even though it’s normal for that to happen, it still freaked us out a bit. School is almost over. Can you believe it? Only three more weeks left and then I’ll be a certified EMT ready to deal with it all.

Job The Rooster

(This one goes out to Bobby Ladwig)
Job just survived the second chicken massacre. Even though we're not sure who the killer is, we do know one thing- Job is one tough chicken. He has gotten used to everyone here and is just another landite. If I were him, after what he’s gone through I’d be fightin' anyone who came near me, jumping up and digging my talons into their face, and pecking their eyes out.

correction

Our cabin is 320 square feet.

I Poop In My Kitchen

Most mornings I wake up before my wife and kids. I walk into my kitchen, make some coffee and put on hot water for oatmeal and Elena’s tea.. I then do a 180 degree turn to go to the bathroom. After that I go to the sink ( passing the refrigerator on the way) to brush my teeth.
You see my kitchen is my bathroom, and my bathroom is my kitchen. Elena likes to call it our bathinette.
Our bedroom is also our living room, dining room, and the kids bedroom.
Most of you know that we live in a small 600 square foot cabin in the middle of the redwoods.
Below are cabin is the Eel river, which this time of year is raging, and looks like a nice cup of chocolate milk Watch out though, one drink of this water and you may be squirting the same chocolate milk out for a week (if you know what I mean).
The back of our cabin has a large douglas fir tree leaning against it, which makes the cabin slant a bit.

It may seem like I’m bitter, but really, I’m not. It is hard sometimes though, when Elena and I are in the kitchen/bathroom together, and she’s trying to cook and I need something, or vice versa. We have learned a new dance doing this. I don’t have a name for it yet, but if you think of one feel free to tell me. I do, however, have a favorite move, it is called, “Elbow drop onto the collar bone”. You could try this fancy move at home. You raise up you arm like your getting something from the top shelf, at just the right moment you bring your elbow down right on your wife’s collar bone. I haven’t perfected this move yet, but I do get some opportunities to practice
