I am Natalia's daddy! My latest happenings as well as my lil' girls happenings will be posted here as I live them.

I like to read science fiction, fantasy as well as classics and comics. Always looking for recommendations. Like to play video games and board games. Love to watch old movies and shows, as I find them relaxing and entertaining. Last but not least. like to feed the birds and do some gardening.

Proud to be a US Navy Corpsman veteran and part of the Southwest Region Funeral Honor Guard.

T Minus 50!

So far I have less than 2 months left here and looking forward to getting home. Now back to working the night shift and changing my day to day habits. Also moved locations from where I was staying in Camp America to mainside. I don't like it here as much but at least I now have different running routes. Still running every day off and slowly getting comfortable with the 10km distance and slowly moving it up to 15kms. My days here now consist of sleeping, working, eating whenever possible as schedule permits. Reading, running and catching up in cycling on my days off.

Natalia is doing good from my short contact with her over the months and doesn't seem to be affected. I will see when I return home and hopefully she wasn't affected by my deployment and we can pick up where we left off. I can't wait to go out on hikes with her and play board games and get her into reading.

Finished reading Bitter Seeds and a book I previously read but wanted to read the story again. Also picked up American Gods and will be reading that again as well as I do not recall the story.

Wish I could say more but not much here and can't talk about work but it has been an eye opener and quite an experience for sure thus far.
