Well, it's Friday April 1st. Today is the 118th Birthday of Navy Chiefs. Happy Birthday to my brothers and sisters around the globe.
Today also marks the beginning of my last week at home before deployment. I have so much to do and so little interest in doing it. I don't know if subconsciously I'm trying to ignore the fact that I leave in a week or if I'm just lazy. I hate to say it; but I believe it's the latter. I am kind of lazy.
Six days and a wake up; I haven't decided if it sounds better or worse than 1 week. Days are such finite periods of time but a week....that still feels over the horizon. Two weeks would sound better, but I squandered my first one away and now am down to just one solitary week. That's where "six days and a wake up" comes in handy...each day may be limited in the amount of time I have but by golly I have SIX of them. I can waste this one and still have five left. Guess I better see how much wasting away I can do with my day.....
Well I might take slight exception to that fact that you loving refer to as the week before "Six Days and a Wake Up" as wasting time.
ReplyDeleteI recall some fabulous memories that will be entered into the little black diary.
That being said, I have never had a close friend deploy. It has been so many things I couldn't have imagined. Full of emotion and joys that I am not sure we would have otherwise experienced together. Tough discussions. Laughter over silly things. Trips to places that will live in infamy...just to name a few.
Of all the things deployment of my good friend Dawn has taught me... none of them are more important for her to know, than how proud I am of her.
