I ended up getting out of the James around 1am Saturday morning. Marc & I beat the weather home which ended up not being that bad after all. Most of the day Saturday we spent moving our bedroom. Sunday we had a National meeting that took us through the afternoon & yesterday was a blur. As if Marc has not been busy enough, he has hung pictures & put stuff out that we never unpacked since we moved into this house in the Fall of 2004. The kids were great helping out over the weekend & each night there has been a nice calming effect in the house.

I started back to Military duty today. I was up at 2am I could not sleep last night. So I headed down to the base about 6am this morning. I put in a whole day without to much difficulty. I stopped at the Commissary on the way home & cooked dinner as soon as I got in the door (chops, fried potatoes & baked beans) so it has been another full day today. I am back at the base tomorrow & that catches me up for missing January Drill weekend. I was not anticipating my counts dropping so fast when I scheduled the make up I thought I would get ahead of the drop but I am already into my decline. So I am going back in tomorrow, they are letting me go at my own pace & I am not overworked or stressed about it. I rather enjoyed getting out & being productive today, it has been awhile where I have felt I actually accomplished something (that is work related).

So there you have it, the down & dirty short version, I am pooped. I will not update again until Thursday & that will be later in the day after I get my counts.
