Hello!!!
I am so sorry I have not been posting. It has been a very busy
week. But, I'm happy to report I successfully passed Phase One of my
training, non-emergency call talking. Monday night I start on night
shift with a new trainer and Phase Two, emergency 911 calls. I also
got to dispatch a little bit of the fire department/fire channel on
Friday at the end of work due to it being super busy. That was quite
exciting.
Dawny
came to Boise on Friday night for a visit/girls weekend and also to
walk the Fit One 10K with me. We went to Tucanos to cash in her free
birthday meal. Dawny's birthday is actually October 11th
but when she came to Boise last year we signed her up for the
birthday club with a September birthday. Since she was still signed
up she got her free meal notice again for September. Yahoo. We had
them sing to her and watched her dance (and shake her maracas).
Early,
very early, yesterday morning we woke up and got ourselves ready to
walk 6.2 miles. We ended up being late to the start line as we got
delayed at Denny's where we went for breakfast. We met with Danielle
and carpooled to her work downtown to park. Because of our late
arrival they almost didn't let us join the course. We were told
something about them knowing where the last walkers location was but
if we stayed on the sidewalk and walked fast to catch up we could
continue. Thankfully the race was coming back towards us as the
course started on an out/back route. When we saw a group that looked
to be walking our speed we just flipped a U-ey and joined the group.
We ended up shaving off half a mile on the 10K course but still
getting my metal. That my friends is the reason I did the race to
begin with.
We
walked back downtown to the Farmer's Market to see Jamie and her
girls. We also saw Rebecca and her girls both on the race course and
at the market. I stopped by Trader Joe's for some groceries as I was
hosting a wine party last night. I also took Dawny to the Nampa PD
to see my new workplace and meet my coworkers/trainers that I have
been working with for the last 8 weeks.
My
wine party was a huge success, despite having many bottles of wine
that were not drinkable. I hate to admit it but I have a lot of wine
bottles from when people bring me wine I don't like and this case of
wine I bought a few years ago. We ended up dumping out more bottles
of wine then drinking but at least I don't have to store the bottles
anymore. Poor Dawny, I think I have officially turned her off of the
idea of ever liking wine because she tasted some of the old wine.
Whoops.
At
the end of the day we were pooped! It was a busy and active day.
