It'll take some time, but I'll get Carter loving the pool. Tonight started with tears and ended with shivering and cyanosis, but the middle went pretty well.

Carter so rarely cuddles these days.

WOD 01/04/2014: FT Shovel/pick-axe ~1'5" packed ice and snow in a 10x15' area. Thank god it warmed up today. Only a side walk, front steps and the whole back three quarters of my driveway left.

Needed: A few able bodied men and women with pickaxes to help me open my driveway back up after being gone 10 days. Solid ice can't get the car in. Matthew Davey? Chris Smith? Up for thankless backbreaking work? I offer snacks and drinks. Will also hire desperate college/university students. Seriously, solid foot of ice.

The opening theme to Disney's "Robin Hood" (the animal one) is song from the hamster dance.

Parade boots should be banned as a form of torture. Feet so incredibly sore after the OAPC Gala AND I'm just getting home now. Still a great showing by the York EMS Honour Guard tonight!

Transfer to Midland at 1am, heading back to base and BAM something flies off a truck in front of us and smashes into the windshield. Now a truck swap at 430. FMAL!

Peter Dinklage on Sesame Street this morning playing Simon Says.

So Julia doesn't like Mystery Science Theatre 3000; and we'd made so much progress in her nerd conversion.

GPS went crazy during my run. Apparently I ran 7k in 15 mins.

Oscar Tango tomorrow, King City RRU.

It's a race to get Carter liking good music before the Wiggles and the like take over his little brain. So after Sesame Street the TV goes off and the music on.

30 Rock, like Arrested Development gets funnier with each rewatch!

Had an appliance guy look at our oven today. Essentially told that our oven was too dirty and that all the crap in there was igniting causing the smoke issue and shutting itself off. So I scrubbed the oven today. Low and behold its not meant to be black on the inside.

Got a very nice B-day wish from Terry Chomski at work. Well, he called about my driver's license I forgot to renew, but still. (Thankfully I'm off today.)

This day has been so slow I've been tossing the "Q" word around just for fun. Thank god for Netflix.

So Carter like Thomas the Tank Engine. That's fine. We're not going to go overboard on the toys or anything. But I can't abide the new animated version over the old model ones.

Oscar Tango tomorrow in Cane, 0700.

Slim pickings for OT tomorrow. Working Richmond Hill 0700.

Apparently Red and Yellow platoons like to work? No OT calls yet.

Oscar Tango: Tonight, King.

Oscar Tango at Cane for the night.

Julia really wanted a thunderstorm tonight at bed time. We got it, she just went to bed too early.

Countless times I have told patients after MVC's they'll be really sore the next day. I get it now.

What an end to the shift yesterday. Late call, 4-2 return, we get hit on the way to the Hospital when someone pulls out (everyone okay), switch the patient to another truck and keep going, 2 hours plus of OT and get home after midnight. But what the heck, back to do it again today. A little sore and a little tired but back on the horse.
