Tired

As I mentioned, I am rotating my schedule around right now. I would normally be going to bed right now, but I have to keep myself up and going for about 8 more hours… I am tired already. I am going to try and read about 15-20 pages of Philosophy, then play on my computer for a little while. I am still a little behind on my class, but gaining on it pretty fast. I slacked in the gym tonight. I went way to soon after my meal and my stomach was to full to do any real exercising. i rode the bike for a little while at a slow pace. Hey, at least it was something.

Tomorrow will be a very busy day. I am looking forward to it. ~~K

Another random steak and lobster day

Every Friday here in the wonderful world I visit is always the same, “the man” seems to think that some nasty steak and lobster will raise moral and keep us going. Now I must admit that early on in this conflict it was something to look forward to. However, year seven, same steak, same lobster, same taste, nasty. However, I eat it down everytime with no complaints like a good little Soldier boy!

Meanwhile I did see the official list showing my selection for promotion. Rumors are flying everywhere about who will be posted where and in what positions. I am excited about the possibility of great change. I want to be a First Sergeant!

Off to change and hit the gym, gotta get these calories off of my bottom side. I did 8.3 miles on the bike the other day in 25 minutes. I was sore from it yesterday and didn’t feel great so I skipped. Today I will double my efforts.

Around the world in a day

So… from my posting on the far side of the planet I write..

I am bored…. I’m thinking I am going to go get myself a Latte, then change and hit the gym. Yesterday I surprised myself with 4.2 miles in 25 minutes on the eliptical. At the altitude I am working at, going hard, fast at first is usually a challenge. I think I am going to ride the bike today. I don’t do much outside of cardio. You know, gotta keep those calories burning off.

I don’t suspect I will be here much longer then 15-20 more days, but I haven’t found myself a ride home yet. I will begin working on it in another week or so.

I had some weird dreams last night. I struggle now to recall them, but they disturbed my sleep. I have found through years of deployments that my body doesn’t work on a 24 hour clock. It’s closer to 32 hours, 24 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep. Sleep is a precious commodity that I treasure and good sleep doesn’t come often for me. I have already slept during the day, night and inbetween during my short stay here. Coffee time! Have a wonderful Wednesday, mine is almost over…. ~~K
