OK, as if I didn't already have enough to worry about with Mike being gone, a Louisiana soldier was killed in Iraq over the weekend. If I wasn't sleeping before, you can only imagine what every night this week has been. I did get a decent sleep last night, for the first time in weeks though.
Work is about ready to do me in and I'm just getting my feet wet. I have about a zillion plans to write, in addition to having a pretty big part in a Full-Scale Exercise out in Arizona. The good part is that it's a HazMat Exercise (Hazardous Materials) so it'll be a room chock full of cops, EMS, and Firemen. My perfect world. How I'll concentrate on the event, mmmm...haven't figured that out yet but it'll sure be fun trying!
Which leads me to frustration #3...I bet you can guess it. Today, I ran 6.08 miles on the treadmill at the Y at 10 minute miles. For someone who is just starting out, that's not too bad. I figure by next month, I'll be running a marathon. It does wear me out and at least I can get some of it out of me. But having an intimate relationship with a treadmill 4.5 years into my marriage isn't something that I really prepared for. Oh well...at least I found an outlet that isn't human, right? ;)
We're officially 25% done with this deployment!

Yummy, men in uniform...a HUGE weakness of mine! Keep up the good work running, you're awesome!!!!
Hmmm... I don't even know where to begin.
Are you reading my mind yet?
Cops & Firemen!! Hells yeah-- just don't let the hands go to the gun belt or you're in trouble missy. As for the intimate relationship w/ the treadmill--- remember what I told you, there's always that no strings attached "friend" or...a 24/7 horny older man next door! Take your pick I give you permission:)
I'm also a sucker for men in uniform. Great job on the running...someday I'll be able to run again. *sigh*
