Would you look at that?!? Another month has passed! I can't believe that I've already been here for four months. That is 1/3 of my deployment! So craziest thing happened today...I had to work! It was work too. We have a new mission that we are doing where we have to go through connexes and dig out old Chem. suits and stuff like that. Then we have to decide if it is good or bad, and then inventory it accordingly...not such a difficult job until you add the fact that it's 110 DeGreES outside!!! Ugh! Ames, you really will be wishing you were at home making snow angels in the yard! The mission is supposed to last for 30 days, but I don't see that happening. We did one whole connex today, and we only have 18. I also only work Mon. - Wed., so that's a good thing. Also, sick thing...when we opened the boxes with the stuff in them, there were sand fleas that came jumping/flying/swarming out!!! GROSS! I don't think I got bit by any, but some people have a couple of bites! Sucks to be them. I took a shower as soon as I got back from work. Now, I am feeling wonderfully clean! Later tonight I am going to go to the softball game and cheer on my team while I'm doing stats! Have a great day everyone!
