Last day of recess

Today was the final day we go to the elementary schools. Today we were at Sunnyside Elementary. It was really hot today both in the classrooms and outside. The kids were out on recess when went go there. Once they got done we were going to start. Dan and Rich were outside with the kids and Wakeman and I were inside. Wakeman did the teaching and I mainly just sat there doing nothing. One little girl came up and told me all about the butterflies they had in the classroom.

After the presentations were done we went to lunch with the kids. I sat with a group of them as we ate pizza. They were all sharing stories about times they or someone they knew got hurt.

After lunch we went outside. We played some boys vs. girls tag. Then we walked the “Feelin’ Good Mileage Club”. We got two laps done. They have cards that get a hole punched in it for each lap they do. Four of them is a mile. We got half a mile done in that period of time.

I dropped my boat off at Dale’s Boat Service to get it dewinterized. The weather right now is screaming to go boating. When I got back to Pullman I did some more work on the bugs I had in my pipeline. But it was starting to get close to the time to be on call. I went to Dissmores to get some dinner. I saw Christensen and Dan from IS there. We talked a little bit while waiting in line.

When I was getting into my truck the tones went out for a call. It was just before six o’clock pm. I got to the station and Wakeman and I went out on it. It was an alpha call. I got a chance to do quite a few things for the guy as he was pretty sick. I had most of the patient care to the hospital and when we got there a room was not ready so we sat in the hallway. While waiting I got some O’s from the ambulance and the blood-sugar machine. I applied the oxygen and took the patients blood-sugar.

When we finally finished that call we went back to the station. I ate my dinner that I had placed in the refer. Then we got the daily truck checks done. I was planning on playing some poker we Devolt. I was able to get up there about an hour after they started playing.

I bought in for ten bucks. I lost there pretty quickly. I re-bought in and my first hand was a pair of queens. I won that hand. I was up and down most of the night. Then in what turned out to be my final hand right around midnight I got another pair of queens. I raised. Someone did a small raise back. I went all-in. He called. I flipped over my queens as he flipped over his aces. So I was way behind. He ended up beating me and I walked out of there with nothing.
