It's something you just don't get to do all that often. Most of us look forward to the weekend to be able to get this extra sleep time. Me, I have Tuesdays and Saturdays. I suppose it is like having a weekend of sorts. Tuesdays I go into work at a comfortable 10:30. It is nice to have this spread out from my day off each week. It offers a nice little recovery. Not only that... there are 3 days more and then it's time for another day off. :)
It's almost time to head to work now, though. It's been a nice enjoyable morning. I didn't even wake up until around 9, about an hour ago. I went and got a coffee and ate my breakfast in my room. I have a nice stockpile of breakfast items saved up here for this express purpose. Not only that... yogurt and cereal make a really good snack in a pinch, too!
.... and I'm back after a pretty decent day at work. It went by fast as has been the case with the majority of my now 133 days I've been deployed. It doesn't hurt that I enjoy doing the job here... that's always a bonus. I also like the people I work with as well. If you put all those together it makes for a good working environment. :)
After work I got back to my room and had some peanut butter and club crackers for a makeshift dinner. It sounded good to me, and I didn't really feel like the dining hall food tonight. It works. I also had a nice little snack of some white chocolate covered pretzels. Yummy!!!! I could eat the whole bag of those if I'm not careful! :P In between the "meals" I got my shower and shave out of the way and went and got some tea. Yes... I am STILL addicted to the cinnamon orange tea and probably will miss it terribly when I leave here. I'm sure there's plenty of a similar tea in the U.S. somewhere, though. :)
I also broke my Ipod back out tonight... I've listened to the following this evening... Paul McCartney (Live and Let Die along with My Love)... Matchbox 20 (3 A.M. and Push)... Oasis (Wonderwall)... Live (Selling the Drama)... Goo Goo Dolls (Iris)... and finishing up with some Eagles (Wasted Time)... and then it's time to pack it in for the night. *yawn* Yes... It's almost sleepy time. I also have my morning Skype date with my dear sweet Anne Marie at 5 tomorrow morning. :) So... on that note I will bid you all a fine Tuesday night farewell as Don Henley finishes crooning "Wasted Time".
Peace, Love, and Poker
