In an unfortunate “dog petting gone wrong”
incident on Thanksgiving Day Rob got a very nice laceration on his hand. It was
a good enough bite that we ended up at urgent care where Rob got a few stitches
and a tetanus shot. The doctor gave him a stretchy white tube to use to hold
the bandages in place. I don’t want him to look uncool so when we got home I
knitted up this nice fingerless glove to use instead. I call it the dog bite cozy.
(his hand seems to be healing up just fine, we had it checked at the doc today
and all was good)
Well I thought I was going to get a chance to have a whole day off with my husband, but he is off to another fire today. He got home from his last fire assignment on Sunday and today was his first day back to work after two days of R&R. We did manage to go out for sushi Monday night and he fixed me a very nice dinner last night. I just wish that I had taken all of Monday off, but somehow I was thinking he would be home until at least next weekend. I should have known better, lol. I think he will be on the Devil’s Den fire. His engine number is over 150 so they must be ordering up a ton of resources.
More classes started up for me yesterday. Somehow I am just getting around to taking speech and psychology. I tried to take speech once before, but the teacher was a bit too new age for me. The instructor I have this time seems very good so far. It also helps that I have finally gotten over my fear of speaking in front of people. My Environmental History class is done in two weeks. That one has gone well and was very interesting. Once that is done I start a Statistics and a Fire Ecology class. Strangely I am actually looking forward to the statistics class. I always liked that math stuff. :)
I made Rob pose for a picture before he left for a fire assignment this afternoon. He'll be on the Uncle's Complex managing a helicopter and should be away for the full 2 weeks with everything that is going on on the Klamath NF right now. It actually works out well for him to be our right now since I'm headed to AZ next week. Hopefully we'll time it so we are both getting back at the same time. His engine should be up to go again pretty soon after he gets back from this assignment so I won't be seeing him for long. Busy fire season as always.
