Mood:  chatty

Good morning!

Well today got off to a not so great start. First off we were running behind, well at least I was anyway, since I needed to get up early to start the car. (Sudden change to freezing temperatures makes starting the car more difficult) So I head out there in a rush and guess what? For some reason we left the car unlocked!?!? I am really good about locking the car doors; I mean how many times have I locked myself out of the car? Luckily it was below freezing outside so if anyone decided they wanted it, they would have a hard time trying to start it. Plus if they were going to load it up on a trailer or tow it or something it would be a red flag to the security that drives around the complex. (I made sure to introduce ourselves) Anywho…. so yeah. Then I take Flyboy to work and as soon as I get home he messages me saying that he got kicked off of today’s flight because there were too many people scheduled for it or something.  He is really bummed =/ not to mention I went on crew rest with him (otherwise he can’t sleep very well =P) for no reason. I was up until 200 because I couldn’t sleep. Speaking of sleep though, I plan on fixing my pattern this weekend. I really liked just passing out from exhaustion at 2030 every night and then waking up at 530/600, I really hope I can get that back!

I apologize for not following up on the yesterday’s entry; I just got really busy with cooking, packaging and freezing food. I still have a lot more to cook. I am making granola bars again (Flyboy really likes them!)

Oh!

***SOLDIER UPDATE*** I heard from soldier last night, well via short email. He is doing alright, though really tired though. They have been literally breaking concrete for the past few weeks so they can set up some “something or other”. He has officially signed his leave papers, so if Army leave is anything like Air Force leave, then he has to wait now for approval. I will keep you posted on that. Otherwise his trip to visit you all has been set in motion. I just hope ours will too =/ (well for the same time Soldier is coming out of course)

Flyboy just messaged me saying that he for some reason has to work late today. Generally on Friday’s they are released after the weekly Hall Call meeting, well he has to stay after the meeting. I don’t think he is in trouble, I figure he has to fix errors in the schedule again. (He is really good at that. Leadership and leadership from other flights in the squadron have made him the “go-to” guy when it comes to scheduling. Pretty cool!) They have a new guy learning how to schedule and he is having a hard time catching on. I don’t blame him though, some of that stuff just sounds confusing, all the protocols and what not. I guess with practice it comes pretty easy, but…

Anyway, I am getting really hungry and I would like to head to the commissary. I have a Crockpot experiment I would like to conduct, food wise. (I really don’t want stroganoff tonight, but I was going to tough it out, but since Flyboy isn’t flying, I am going to do something different) I am thinking a roast, so I can shred it, then add some onions, baked beans and then I am lost from there. Its final form will be wrapped in a tortilla with some cheese, but yeah. Though maybe I can do that for tomorrow instead… I would have more time to mess around with it. But I am hungry now, since I haven’t eaten breakfast yet. Take care everyone!!!
