I got my car back from the shop. (But now the A/C isn’t working, so I’ll have to return it to them Monday.)
This was actually completed yesterday, but I forgot to mention it then: I did three days at my Reserve unit, getting ready for our duty at the National Training Center and making up in advance the drill days we’ll miss in May.
The temperature here at last got up out of the wet-and-miserable range. And about time.
Added a few thousand words to my current remix effort. More than that, I’m finally getting into the story. Before, I had an idea I kind of liked; now, at last, I’m beginning to find myself engaged.
I made a Facebook entry to the same effect as yesterday’s LJ post regarding my disappointment that I only have a few years’ eligibility left in the Army, after which I’ll no longer be able to serve. Response from both family and friends (but not, happily, from my wife or children) was the same: incredulity that I would want to return to a combat theater. Those who understand, do; those who don’t, well, I hope they can accept that I mean it and that I do have my reasons.
And that’s it for now.
