Summer Nights
This has got to be the gloomiest beginning of summer I can ever imagine! For starters, it’s rained every day for the past two, almost three months! We’re used to no rain for a week, temperatures in the high 90′s, the pang of excitement and want at the sound of the ice cream truck, coming around the corner to quench your thirst of something frozenly splended! Only to race around the house, gathering change and other people’s orders, praying you won’t miss him.
Now, the ice cream truck makes his rounds, but you aren’t so eager to greet him. A cool breeze would make you chilly with ice cream in hand, and a consistant 75 degree temperature just doesn’t put anyone in an ice cream mood.
Since I work nights, I’ve taken joy, on my days off, sitting on my back porch and enjoying the weather I usually work through. Right now it’s overcast, a cool breeze, strong enough to be noticeable but not a nunciance. I have my music on my iPhone playing on random, and watching my two cats roam around the porch and yard.
This summer night, though pleasantly comfortable, has yet to cure my craving for what I remember it to be.

3′s the magic number, right?
Oh man, where to begin! Started my week off, as you can read in my previous blog. Then, the next day I found out that my sister, Emma, passed out at her work and was found wanderng the halls of her work not knowing where she was. Figuring it was a stroke, they took her to Lutherian, a hospital a few blocks away.
One of the worst hospitals in my family’s opinion. They gave her two tests; a pregnancy and Co2 test, and a MRI. Found out her Co2 level was extremely high, her thyroid was up and her potassium was low. The doctor got called away on an emergency and Emma had to spend the night in the hospital, expecting the test to continue on in the morning. The morning came and the doctor told her that they had no idea what was wrong with her, but they weren’t going to run any more tests and sent her home.
On Tuesday, I was chasing skateboarders at work in the garage and when they didn’t listen to me when I told them to sit on my bumper (Police were on their way to tresspass the little hooligans, so they had to), they hopped into their vehicle. I tried bluffing them into staying by standing behind their vehicle, and the kid driving began to back up. He honked once, I started to move but he didn’t give me time to get out of the way and continued backing up, shoving me out of the way with his vehicle.
About 7 hours later, my big toe on my left foot had pain. It felt like it had to pop but it didn’t.
So I spent all of yesterday resting my foot and half of today resting. Cleaned the bathroom, which made my toe sore, but it’s not hurting near as much so that’s gotta be good. Been watching my series 4 of House MD that came in the mail today. Great stuff to cuddle down under an electric blanket and watch.
I finally got my best friends address to his navy boot camp, so I wrote him a letter which should be mailed out tomorrow. I’m planning on writing him every weekend since I’m in dispatch. Two letters even, if one doesn’t suffice.
=^^=
Well, I am going to watch another round of House. I have a police agent I need to call concerning my hit and run…something about numbers being wrong?!??? And I have another hour before he’ll be at work.
So, until next time!
