It's my life, as I see it. It's my opinions, my thoughts, and my experiences. The content has changed over the years as my live has changed. The 40 something EMT Wife and mother, is now a Wife and Search Technician with Search Dogs Sussex and as for the age? Does that even matter!

Noel's HQ
Whilst I was writing my blog last night I was also burning my dinner! Grr.
I had put a quorn stew on the hob to cook through so that I could take it to work with me and heat it up in the microwave, unfortunately I got a bit carried away, I ended up taking a couple of eggs, some baked beans and two slices of bread.
On the way to work I got stuck behind a tractor which decided it wouldn't let anyone past, I only just got to work on time.
Well after those two things I guessed that the night wasn't going to be very good.
My crew mate and I booked onto the vehicle and did our checks, then waited for the inevitable Friday night rush of drunks.
Well we waited and waited, at 1015 we had our first meal break, then at 3am we got our second meal break.
It wasn't till 5.30 am that we got our first job, an RTA, a car had skidded on the icy road and gone into a ditch, no one was injured, but whilst we were at the job another car did exactly the same and ended up beside the first car in the ditch, it turned out to be one of our colleagues on his way to work. Then a Mercedes came round the corner, spun twice in the road and continued on its way. Fortunately the police came along at that point and put some road salt down.
We drove 7 miles did one non conveyance and finished the shift on time.
Almost as soon as I got home my husband had to leave for work, Lit'lun and I watched a couple of films and had a slow day, even though I didn't have a busy night its not the same as a good nights sleep in my own bed!
We then took the dog out for a walk and put the horses to bed, before heading back home to cook dinner.
My husband came home on time after a good day shift.
When we had eaten, Lit'lun and I sat and watched the television, which is something I very rarely do , unless its the NFL, There was a programme on called Noel's HQ, which gives help to good causes and praises people for random acts of courage and selflessness.
Well there we were watching it when all of a sudden one of my crew mates, Dan, appeared on it, he was praising a young boy for saving his mothers and his friends lives when they all ended up in a burning car.
I did try and phone him afterwards but he didn't answer.
