My second day off....

.... feels much like the first. :)  I'm really not doing anything special today, but that's ok.  I feel relaxed for the most part.  I would feel really relaxed if I could shake this headache!!!  UGH!!!  I took the early to bed late to rise approach again.  I was in bed by 10:30... up around 8.  Good long bit of sleep. :)  I can't complain about that, although I'm feeling maybe a little catnap is in order pretty soon.  I am going to work out at some point today as well.... not sure when yet, but it will be happening.  It might be one of my last chances to work out in awhile... so I really should try and do it while I have the time.  Besides I always feel much better afterward, too.  It's nice to just have the day to do whatever you feel like doing, though... no one to answer to... no responsibilities to worry about...

I did start packing up my stuff this morning a little... after doing my laundry.  :)  It's about that time... time to move on to the next chapter of Deployment 2010/11.  I'm ready for it, too.  My first beer in over 2 months is within reach.  Yes... the little things in life do count.  Do I really miss beer that much???  Not at all!  Does the prospect of simply having it available sound wonderful???  You bet it does!!!!  I really think it's true when we say we want what we can't have most of the time.  In this case... the beer is one of those... also being able to go off station will be another big one.  That opens up the possibilities of things to do on that day off immensely!!!  And I certainly do love to travel to new and interesting places!!!  :) 

The weather will surely not be quite as comfortable as it is here at the moment.  Humidity will be prevalent... but so will the swimming pool at least for a little while (and then again toward spring).  Everything is much closer as well... but that's not necessarily a good thing for me.  I am getting a LOT of exercise from walking here, and I'm going to lose that.  What does that mean???  I need to eat better and continue the intensity of my workouts!!!  Hopefully that will still be an option.  We shall see what lies ahead...

It's a great Saturday... and I'm feeling a whole lot better than I was a few days ago.  Thank God for that!  It was really the first time I was truly stressed since I've been deployed here.  They say to expect the unexpected, and maybe if I had been thinking in that manner the stress level might not have seemed quite so high.  Who knows?  I don't know what the rest of the day holds for me... but I know whatever it is... it will be my choice, and for that I'm pleased. :)

Peace, Love, and Poker
