This was one of my long, exhausting 2 days... Yesterday (Fri), worked my normal 24hr shift on the ambulance. Got off early at 7:30am (Sat)..good thing, a call came in at 7:31 for Anaphalaxis (alergic reaction). Then I went straight to the fire station, met the fire chief, and we went to Pittsburgh for a Fire & EMS Expo. Waited a 1/2 hr in the registration line (crowded). Browsed the floor for a while, then went to a conference which went over by 1/2 hr, then browsed the floor again (I bought an LED window light!). We also saw a water rescue demonstration by Pittsburgh Fire. Then on return to Ohio.... Firefighter Challenge put on by our fire neighbors in Ellsworth. We put 2 teams in the challenge doing events: Event 1: Cot race...our team 1 (me) took 1st place Event 2: Tug-o-War..our team 2 came in 3rd place Event 3: Water Shuttle, our team 2 came in 2nd place, our team 1 (me) came in 3rd place Event 4: Relay challenge, which included a hose run, hydrant hookup, gear donning, etc. We only had 1 team due to a call (which I ran on), and it came in 3rd. Overall a busy 2 days...Whew!!!!

It happened again....I got PLAYED! I'm getting extremely frustrated with the dating scene. I keep getting built up and then something happens that its broken off. This time "I" had to break it off. The person I was dating was holding back information (so much for being up front with everything). Some info came out this morning, but was the info true? How can I now trust this person? Too many excuses to make it sound "OK". She was blaming it on her meds and offered to take me to her doctor to verify. It was too good of a match (personality, likes, etc). Like they said, maybe "too good to be true". Very possible. There were just too many flags this last week that pointed me away from her. My mom told me today that something just didn't seem right a week ago when they talked, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Since I had started dating her, I had been approached by a couple other people, and had turned them down because I thought I had found my perfect match. I'm frustrated, angry, and disappointed. I appreciate all my friends on here who watch my back and try to keep me safe, and give me advice. You guys mean so much to me. I could use more advice on finding someone who won't play games, as I'm tired of being alone. Please feel free to send me an email.
