It's not quite a day off, but it is nice to have a 2nd day every week to get a few extra z's! I still don't have to be at work for another 40 minutes, and I'm chillin' with a coffee in my room watching the week's football highlights. :) We're about to move into December tomorrow... not only is it another payday... it's the start of the 4th month here in the desert! The theoretical halfway point is here... it's still a little over 3 months left to go, but it's so close now you can feel it rolling off your tongue. It's all downhill from here.
I have one somber thought this morning. My wife got an email this morning from her mother, and her mom's sweet chihuahua Bella has been diagnosed with cancer. She's only 3 years old, too! That's so sad! :( I'm not really sure what they do for animals when they get cancer. My best guess is it runs its course, and they get really sick and eventually put to sleep. :( There is the off chance that when they removed the cancerous cyst from her ear that they got it all. We can only hope that's the case. Keep poor Bella in your thoughts and prayers.
It's Tuesday now, and the week is flying by at the usual rapid pace. What really makes that happen, though? For some it's not that way. I think it is for most of us here, but there are a select few that say it's dragging on. I can't see how that's possible. Maybe those folks are the ones not engaged in doing anything at all. My days are pretty much full. I sit 4-6 hours of the 12 depending on the schedule that day. I leave to go workout 5 days a week taking anywhere from 2-3 hours of the day up. There is lunch and either breakfast or dinner which is usually another 2 hours. As you can see it adds up fast! During the remaining time I usually catch up on some emails and such. There's not really much time in my day for that. Before I was working out I had a ton of dead computer time. I used to play video games on the computer. LAME! That's about the most unproductive thing you can possibly do with your time. I would much rather be killing the treadmill for over an hour than just sitting there at a computer screen shitting away the hours! I've started losing a pound a week the past month finally. I'm hoping to see that trend continue from here forward. The workouts are pretty intense at times. My running is getting better and better and my waistline smaller and smaller! :) By the way, Tuesdays are my non-workout days along with my days off on Saturdays (so far anyway).
It's been a pretty good first 3 months over here so far. We're still waiting to see if we will get to the next location. If and when that happens it will begin yet another chapter in my deployment story. :)
Peace, Love, and Poker
