A Day Off

Finally, I get a day off. I haven't had one in 6 weeks. Working from 6:30 A.M. to about 7:00 P.M. every day, except today, 31 OCT 07.

Whew, I am tired. But that's OK. See, I am in the U.S. Army. So I can say that it could be a lot worse. I am currently in America, not Iraq. So, it could be worse. But, that is what I signed the dotted line for.

A little bit of sleep deprivation never did hurt anyone. Now, I have 4 days off before I do it again. So, I guess I will get a little more sleep now. :)

Other then that, not too much has happened. I did re-enlist for another 4 years and changed my 'job' as well. I am going back to school to be a helicopter mechanic.

I just got back from the field. We were there for a good while. Averaging 2-4 hours of sleep a night. It's amazing because when I am in the field, I can do that with no problem. When I go home, I can't do it. I get too tired.

In the field, I would wake up and be ready to go out the door before 'lights on.'
So, not that I am back in my own home, 6 hours of sleep and I am tired. Don't ask me to explain it.


Also, on a different subject, I got a boo boo today. See, I was hooking up a trailer to a truck today and part of the trailer (The jack) fell and smashed my finger a wee bit. Not too bad. I thought that my finger nail met the other side of my finger! I am glad that I was wearing my gloves or it would have been a lot worse.
Instead, I just can't feel the tip of my finger, which is a funny color. I do, however, have my fingernail currently attached to my finger by natural methods. So I must be good!

I will let you know when the feeling comes back!
