just another day

I'm skipping Death & Dying today: we're seeing an 'optional' movie. I don't feel up to it. Have to go to A & P, though, as we've started the circulatory system. Finally, something I know again. I am not up on my brain parts and endocrine system. Will be working out after class tonight at the school gym. Yesterday I power walked with Binky the Wonder Dog around my apartment complex. Was quite taxing. There is another non-emergent transport service in town, but they're in a very dangerous part of town and are basically pretty sleazy. They would hire any warm body with a certificate. I am not quite that desperate yet. I'm going to see how well I can improve my physical stamina in the next 30 days... which is something I've needed to do for awhile now, anyway.

EMT stuff

Found a great local Austin Paramedic/Fire Fighter's site He collects patches, too.

My own life is not going well. I failed the physical agility part of the AMR job testing process. Gonna work out daily for the next month and try again. Very down on myself about this. I shouldn't have dropped my weightlifting course this semester, but there it is: have to go with life one day at a time.

Have been going to my Mom's house every weekend and planting things for her. She has a very nice garden with lots of perinials now. Not sure what they all are, as I am a fish and cat person, not a gardener. I just dig holes and put stuff in it as directed. Mom is an insulin dependent diabetic, and has developed a rash on the tops of her feet that's moving up her legs. She has an MD appt tomorrow. Hope it's nothing serious. With diabetis, you just never know.
