The last 3 days, I got about an hour a sleep each day. Day 1 left me spent. Day 2 had a dream, and the 3rd and final day left a sober feeling.
My dream, the 1st in sometime, was of a tree blowing in the wind, accented by amber light from improbable angles. The leaves rustling in the wind the only sound. My body was being caressed by the cool calming movement. Just a tree in the wind.
That morning I awoke refreshed and rested.
The sober feeling of the last night in the subject matter was most likely due to the fact that we received a pretty official word that we will be deploying in December... So I finally have a more stable platform from which to look from.
15 months in Iraq. Means around March of 2009 I will be back, which leads to June being the time I am a civilian again.
