Return of the EMT


I, Laurel, have been on leave of absence from the Volunteer Rescue Squad since early May due to Violet's birth. For those of you who don't know, I am a volunteer ambulance driver and have now become certified as an Emergency Medical Technician - Basic. Now that Violet is able to drink pumped breast milk from a bottle, I'm able to get back into running with the squad if Jason can care for her while I'm on duty. I'm not back to my Thursday full shift, but I'm subbing for someone who is in a class from 6-10 PM on Thursdays. It's so nice to be back to "work!" The squad house is very comfortable, equipped with a full kitchen and living room along with bunk rooms. There is cable TV in the living room (a luxury we do not have at home), so we get to watch all sorts of shows whenever I'm not on a call. ESPN is pretty good bait to keep Jason interested in bringing Violet to the squad while he cares for her.
