Day 6 - Compressed

Yesterday I went to a First Aid and CPR/AED class to learn how to know the required info to be a certified card holder.  Mostly because Katie wants kids, and wants to make sure I can fix them up when they injure themselves.  It was a long class, but fortunately for everyone I already knew a large portion of the material that was presented and covered.  I learned some neat things, like you use a credit card to remove the poison sack and stinger from a bee, or that they have invented a moldable foam brace for splinting broken and injured arms and legs (particularly when one is out camping or hiking and is a long way from medical support).  I just hope that now I have this knowledge that I only have to use the most basic parts (like cleaning cuts or making insect bites hurt less).

We had to wake up at about 6:00 in the morning to get to the 8:30 class, and then didn't back home until something like 6:30pm, so I was pretty darn tired.  That meant I fell asleep almost as soon as we got in the door, and so I apologize for the "lateness" of this Day 6 post.  I will still post a Day 7 post later today, just as soon as I figure out what I intend to take a picture of.

In other, less related news, I am working on creating a page to document my progress through my Day Zero List.  I hope to have it up and running by tonight, but I will provide an update with tonight's post.

Till Tomorrow (/later today)!
