		<title>My new (rented) house&#8230; is home!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve stayed here since September 1rst, and I am amazed at how &#8220;at home&#8221; I feel. It took me WEEKS to get used to living in an apartment more than 4-1/2 years ago, and yet, out here I can fall asleep in moments. I am so glad in hindsight that my EMS pants were stolen.

		<title>Moving&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today marked the first day that I began my move. Had to take care of things, such as dropping a container on the property, to act as a makeshift garage to store things in until the garage is built. I went over there, and found that the owner made some improvements to the property. Little [...]]]></description>

		<title>A new look</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you can tell, I&#8217;m changing the look of the site. When I moved to WordPress, I set up a simple (very simple) theme, one that was clean, and easy to maintain. I&#8217;ve been looking at other sites, and found a theme that I really like. Now, I need to customize it for what I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rebates and aggravation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hate rebates. DO YOU HEAR ME STORES? I HATE REBATES. I don&#8217;t care if you disguise them as &#8220;Member Rewards&#8221;, or just call them rebates. Back in July, I had to replace my backpack. My old Targus backback was finally not functioning. The zipper would pop open randomly (along the closed portion of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Permission for happiness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As many of you know, I was widowed 6 years ago, when my husband passed away from complications of renal failure and overt septic shock. Since then, I have grown in ways I never thought I would. I finished my bachelor&#8217;s degree in Biology (Microbiology), began work as a scientist full-time, and I began to [...]]]></description>

		<title>#6 in the Top 50 EMS blogs? Coooool&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning, I was looking at a friend&#8217;s EMS blog posting, and he got #2 on a list of Top 50 EMS blogs. So, I went to the list to see who else is on there, looking for other blogs for me to read. Wow! I got one heck of a surprise when I saw [...]]]></description>

		<title>Packing and the junk we keep</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I am packing to move, I am reminded how much of a pack-rat I still am, even in spite of getting rid of literally TONS of stuff in the past&#8230; I found a Pilot 1000 manual (Yeah, the &#8220;Original&#8221; PDA sold by Palm). And the IBM version manual as well (Did I ever own [...]]]></description>

		<title>A move&#8230; upward!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the big things on my mind over the last several months was moving. I can&#8217;t stand living where I am. I moved to this apartment complex 4-1/2 years ago when I had to move; the house I was in at the time was being sold, and I was given 60 days to find [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230; and the band played on</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night, I worked EMS at a concert (Scorpions and Ratt). As with many concerts I work, it gets crazy. We see minor things, such as headaches, abrasions, and indigestion. Depending on other factors, we may be treating people while they are still in line outside the venue. On hot days, we will actually go [...]]]></description>
