Spring Time
Though we really didn't have a winter and winter being my favorite season, I am looking forward to Spring. Funds are very low so I wont be planting much this year. Moving stuff around my new place and finding stuff on hikes to decorate. My 3 apple trees are getting green but no blossoms yet.
Drill weekend over and a bit full of more paperwork and new taskers. Quite a bit of new guys to the unit this weekend and they are picking it up rather fast and no bad habits yet. Sunday afternoon we had some downtime. A few Corpsmen in a lab full of needles, "Oh what to do". So we practiced drawing blood on ourselves. No other person helping. I say Bye" to Doc Aldrete as he is going IRR and Doc Jara-Castro as he is finishing his contract and may be going to the officers program. It was a pleasure serving with you.
Congrats to Taylor Phinney on the Giro D'Italia Taylor Phinney as he held off the sprinters and some bad luck to hold the Maglia Rosa.
Still slowly making my way through Mockingjay. Some found it to be the best book in the series but I still think the previous book moved at a better pace. Feeling bad as I am falling behind my reading.
Not much work this week as my hours are getting cut this week. I do hopefully have my last court date for my divorce this Thursday. It has taken well over a year to settle this simple dispute. No "ex" drama this week, so it has been a good week thus far.
