ahhh they're driving me crazy!!!

Ok so I'm still here, with the same people, the same ANNOYING people. Now they seem to think that since the Drill asked me to check out his computer and fix it, they are all experts now. GRRRRRR
Anyways, I'm just chilling today, since I'm just waiting on a stupid test before I can get outta here!!
I'm hoping that I know ASAP where I'm going so I can get my computer sent to me.
I went for a long walk last night after dinner (well long for me), turns out I walked about 1 1/4 miles, I was tired after, but not sore this morning, except for my stinkin back.... I feel sooo OLD....
Things were much easier the first time around as I recall... I see these basic training soldiers roaming around, hearing their conversations, all their big dreams. Thats all they talk about, because they have nothing else to do but dream. It's really sad. Of course, in a few months, I'm sure I'll be in the same situation, except my dream is to just go home!!!
I miss you all so much.

Well it sounds like the Army curse of hurry up and wait has finally caught up with you. It's frustrating when other folks mistakes hold you up.......It sounds like life as usual!

I'm working on getting the still pic's to you so you can dream about your family, friends and animals.

Remember take one day at a time.

If your lower back is hurting lay on your stomach and put your forarms on the bed below your shoulders. Push up slightly until it eases the pain. This really helps my back when it gets sore.

Got an email from Dan White...he has lost 51 lbs. by walking and watching his eating......

I'll send an email with the pics sometime day. I have to fit it in between work. Love, DAD

Hey Kid!
This whole routine sounds like what you went through when you got to Basic. Re member how they made you all sit around for two weeks and do nothing (so you could get out of shape, so they could whip you back into shape???) It probably seemed easier because you were several years younger and had been working at an active job - not riding herd on a computer!! Glad to hear you are walking though - helps relieve the boredom in addition to being good exercise.

Speaking of which, I need to get back to the gym - It's hard to get inspired sometimes.

Love you Hon!! Mom
