Mood:  cool

Good Morning!

I am so, so, so very tired =’( Lately my bedtime has been around 2030. I take my pills at 2000 and then fall asleep like right after. However for the past couple days; I have had to stay up because someone can’t make up his mind on what he wants for dinner. (I would make a decision, but sometimes I’m not even the slightest bit hungry and all I want to do is go to sleep.) Anywho, point being, I am tired.

As luck would have it Flyboy was able to take the course. It was crazy though, I had to run around like crazy getting all the stuff he needed because he would text me at the last minute saying he needed something. After the classroom training, Flyboy took me up to the flight so I could make his lunch while he changed into his other uniform. (He looks silly with BCG’s on ((the big basic training glasses))) So I cooked his lunch, split pea soup I had made, and oh my goodness, it tastes AWESOME reheated!!!! Needless to say I ate about a ¼ of it before he came back. Don’t worry, I packed him an MRE as well as some snacks, he was covered. Apparently the granola bars I had made really hit the spot, AND they were packed with lots of energy. They are comprised of the nut mix I made him, granola cereal and some honey goo stuff that I made from scratch (can’t give it all away right? Then I added some chocolate chips, and well added too many so now the bars are chocolaty too. I was merely going for the “chip” effect, not “chocolate” if you know what I mean. Whatever the case, they were very useful on the field! Yay me!!!

I dropped Flyboy off at the field, around 1230 (time change at last minute… again) and I picked up camo Flyboy at 2100. It was PITCH black out there and all the guys decided to walk in front of my car like deer. I couldn’t see them for the life of me. I would have turned my high beams on but I figured that would be a little mean, and I didn’t know if any of them still have their night vision goggles on. (Like putting them away...) Yeah, making a large group of fliers DNIF (Duties Not Including Flying) because I blinded them with my high beams, would not be a good bullet, or look good on Flyboy for that matter. But I found Flyboy and we headed home to a crock pot steaming with Beef Stroganoff. It was requested. Flyboy said he had a blast. Of course it was exhausting and he was covered in stickers that pop bicycle tires, but none-the-less, he had fun. His group got to be the “bad” guys and they snuck up on a bunch of guys who will probably get in trouble, because they were supposed to be keeping guard. Hehe. But this is training, and mistakes are expected and are learned from so when real life pops up, you are prepared. Though then again, Flyboy’s little group is really good at ninja stuff, so, I don’t know. (So the instructors said).

I can’t believe the week has gone by so fast! Tomorrow is Thursday which means Flyboy has it off as his Study Day. His test is Friday. We are going to be cramming like mad! He was going to study all day yesterday, but the survival thing came up and well, he needed it to stay flyable (I think that is a word, it sure doesn’t look like one). It is just a mess. I will write in the morning, but I think we will head off to somewhere relaxing so he can cram. Maybe the lake or something, he likes it there. (That way he isn’t cooped up in the house and complaining all the time).

He also needs to P.T. with the squadron today since Monday was recall and yesterday he was gone all day. (It’s a new mandatory thing; the guys have to P.T. with the squadron at least once a week, whether it be in the morning or in the afternoon.) Well Flyboy was gone so he couldn’t put P.T. in his schedule for the morning, so I won’t see him again until waaaaay after 1630. Fun times. More time to do flash cards I guess. I am on question 27 or so of 97. So far there isn’t much for me to draw. They aren’t complicated answers or questions, so I think just the word will be enough. Although, I am really getting tired of the answer, DIGITAL. Ahhhhhh it was the answer for three questions in a row! The first question I made the background look like ACU’s (I haven’t colored yet, this is just the drawing stage). Then the next question was the same answer and since the one prior took like 10 minutes to draw, I said skip it and I made the words, DIGITAL, look like ACU’s. The last one (I don’t really read the answers until I get to the question. I just highlight the answer form the answer sheet and never look twice, unless it wants me to highlight a blank answer… Flyboy is looking into that) I just gave up and made the word look bubbly like normal. Haha. That was really frustrating, and all the questions were different. Grrr.

Ow. I think I need to eat now. My tummy is hurting me. =/ ow. Well I better serve my “master” Haha. Take care everyone!!!
