I’m on a roll now, here comes Wednesday! Wednesdays are one of the three days that we work 23 hour shifts on. We work them Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If I’m not working a 23 hour shift on a Wednesday, I normally use that day to do laundry and clean my room. If Marsha, oneContinue reading “Things I do on Wednesdays!”

Okay, I figure this is the easiest way to get back into blogging. Going back to my daily things I do theme. Every Tuesday I work. It’s either a 0700 – 1500 shift, a 1500 – 2300 shift or the night shift, 2300 – 0800 the next day. It all depends on how my scheduleContinue reading “Things I do on Tuesdays!”

Three months in Three Sentences: It was dark. It was cold. The sun is back. More information about everything in between my last post and now will be forthcoming.

I’ve recognized a pattern from my blogging last winter. I’ve been in the time of year when I truly don’t know what to write about. It’s close to mid-winter. We’re halfway through the season. T3 has hit several times. And I just haven’t known what to write about. And that depressed me. SO! I’ve decidedContinue reading “Things I do on (most) Mondays!”

So, I’ve been racking my brain about what to write about over the past few days. Then I realized I forgot to include super important information in my last post: I can see again! After going approximately one month without glasses, I now have not one, but two pairs! Thanks to the amazing medical department,Continue reading “Eye can see!!!”

Greetings! Over the past month, we’ve had two medevacs. Right now I’m not sure how many people we have on station. What I do know, is that we no longer have four firefighters. We now have seven. And that is a good thing. I’m posting a link in this blog to another winter-over’s blog. BenContinue reading “143..no 139…no 141… I’ve lost count”

I want to dye my hair blue. Not like Marge Simpson blue, but a light shimmery blue. If you have never listened to Lindsey Stirling, I suggest you check out her music. I’d love to have a mango. I’m thinking about spending the summer season down here. I’m not as good at Halo as IContinue reading “Random winter thoughts”

On Wednesday, April 24th, 2013, two vans filled with happy winter-overs took the 14 mile ride out to Pegasus Airfield to watch the last sunrise/sunset until August. We laughed, we played, we enjoyed the glorious weather and bid adieu to the evil day star. Enjoy!

This past week has been a bit stressful around the firehouse. Six weeks into the actual winter season and we’ve had a medevac. Hopefully our only one this winter. For the fire department, medevacs mean that we have to have our ARFF vehicles taken back out to the airfield, and since they were “winterized” itContinue reading “Stressful week leads to shenanigans”

No zombies, yet.  I have a sneaky suspicion that before long we’ll see a few of the suckers.  Not real ones, of course.  McMurdo would be a poor place for real zombies to be.  Not because we’re lacking in richness of brain matter, but because they’d run out pretty quickly.  Then what are they goingContinue reading “Zombie Apocalypse – What’s happenin’ on the ice this week”
