Bad Day...
(This post was created on Aug 16th but it had to be re-posted today)
Well, just that. Today was a very difficult day. So much stupidity, so little time. So many destinations, too few answers. I began my day at 5:30 this morning (that's before God turns on the sun and the air, BTW) to go run 3.5 miles with my coworkers (no, "co-workers", not "cow orkers") and do some other excercise things. My constant thought was "I have 14.5 hours left in my work day" because... well, I'll not document that. Then the rest of my morning consisted of taking the next seven hours to do something that should have taken less than one. Because of that, the other thing that needed to happen today, didn't happen and will have to be postponed until another day when I'd rather be doing something else. Anyhow, here I have 2 hours left, but I got to talk to Helen earlier today and that helped me get my head screwed on straight again. It was still a rough day that was made more rough by the influence of others. It's still going to be hard to let go of, but at least I sort of got some perspective. Yeah, this is the Marine Corps, you can actually burn 5,000 Calories and a tank of gas and still accomplish absolutely nothing. That is why my compatriot in futility decided to sleep here at work instead of wasting the time that it'd take him to go home and sleep before his night-shift tonight.
Helen has finally moved into the appartment that she will be living in for college this semester. She is excited about living off campus and about having a monthly bill to keep track of. I was so sorry that I couldn't be there when she told me about the refrigerator that they have and how nice and big it is and how it's still packed in a box on the wrong side of the kitchen. I so wish that I could have been there to help her out. I love her so much. I'm supposed to be the one who skips the whole first day of classes so that I can move her heavy boxes for her. Anyhow, I'll help her move in to our house one of these days. More later...
