Nearly there...

Well, it's Thursday...we'll be doing the big move on Saturday with the help of our family. We seem to like stacking really stressful situations on ourselves. Two years ago it was planning our wedding, both starting new jobs and both moving, all in a matter of a couple of months. Now it's the move and both new jobs....maybe we're just gluttons for punishment. 8) We both know that this a going to be a great move for us both, though, so it's more than worth all the hard work and tough time spent apart!

Last night I spent about 7 hours at an accident scene. A young guy on a motorcycle was stopped at a light when a moron in a trans am hit him from behind at over 80km/hr. He flew about 50 feet through the air...I was helping EMS with him...he was conscious but that poor guy was hurting...both legs mangled. Last I heard his condition had worsened and they air lifted him to Sunnybrook....that's a guy who could use some prayers! On that note, the guy who hit him probably needs some too...he at least was taking full responsibility for it. After they took the victim away and I took a couple statements, I sat at a traffic point all night. We have specialists come in to measure the entire scene, like where all the debris lands (and there was a lot of debris...like a bomb went off!). It's funny and terribly aggravating at the same time...we can set up 200 flares and 83 pylons across 40 feet of pavement and there will still be the boneheads who try to drive around them while we are sitting there blocking the road with our cruisers, all emergency lights on. Sometimes you just want to feed someone a burning road flare...oops...did I type that out loud?

So, anyways, we got a few busy days ahead...I managed to take tonight and next Tuesday off to give us a little extra time on both ends of the move...still seems like lots of packing around here though! I think Quito is getting more and more confused....Boxes are piling up and I seem to come and go every few days...the old boy is going to have his own backyard soon, though, so things will be looking up for him! Better get cracking on the packing! Later!
