I am bummed that I didn't have a cornea 👁️👁️ recovery at the cemetery in Butte this Halloween season. Today and tomorrow I am on call for northern Montana.
Next year I have goals. I even have a key to the cemetery (perk of the work). I am so ready!

Two possible 👁️👁️ donors on my board this morning.
Looks like I will be making a trip across the Divide for at least one. Will it be Polson AND Kalispell?
It's going to be a long day, regardless, and I am so excited to get going.
DISPATCH ME, PLEASE!!!!

Woke up this morning to a very long road trip on my board. If the donor passes screening I will be headed to Wolf Point, Montana.
It's a very long drive but I have my queue filled with podcasts!
Let the road trip begin! #ERTLife

Took my car, Opal, in for her spa day. Oil change and new rear struts.
Next Monday she gets new Blizzak snow tires. I need her to be top-notch to safely get me across Montana.
I wonder if they will ponder the crate of head blocks in my cargo area. 🤔

I got to bed before 11pm last night and I got some great sleep. Today I find I will have a road trip first thing this morning. I am hoping I can get this 👁️👁️ case done so I can drop both my cases at the airport together.
I love recovering at the facility in Anaconda. They are so lovely! #ERTLife

Went to bed last night at 630pm, woke up at 6am this morning.
I was apparently tired from 48 hrs of being awake.
On call again thru 7am Sunday morning. Maybe I'll get a Kalispell dispatch this Saturday!

This afternoon might be different! I've been hoping for a dispatch to Billings for a while now.

Woke up this morning to find a 👁️👁️ case in Billings and two cases near Glendive on the board.
It's going to be a VERY long day if even one goes through.
I'm going to need a lot more coffee.

On call for the eastern 2/3 of Montana tomorrow and Sunday. Mostly Billings and my usual territory. I was hoping for a drive to NW Montana to see the larches turn but I guess the best I get is the live webcam I watch all day.
