Catching up....
So...I know it's been like forever...so tired I don't even get online much. Finally had two days off...the first two in a couple of weeks. It was much needed. Did lots of sleeping. We went to Lake George yesterday to the Lincoln Log homes distributor. There was a model house there that we walked around and we talked to one of the salesman...it was gorgeous!!!!!!!! I think that will be the way we end up going for the house. Rumor has it that the closing will be Tuesday...that would be so nice. Harry will go down to CT for the closing...and then party all night to celebrate and I'll be stuck here alone...sucks...but I am happy it will be all over. I'll go hang out in the bars...alone. It'll be fun!!
I had drill weekend a few weeks ago. We went to northwestern Vermont to a range, fri, sat, and sun. We drank lots of beers at night and shot free ammunition during the day...and got paid to do it. I had a blast. I qualified with my M16, 33 out of 40, the best I've ever done, and got to shoot the M4 and the M9 too just for fun. But....there's always a but....it looks like the chances for deployment this year are very great...and it's left me a total wreck for weeks now. I'm freaking about leaving Harry and stuff. He really doesn't understand just how serious this is and how much I've needed him lately. I could cry at the drop of a hat. Finally, after trying to instigate a serious conversation with him over and over again....i broke down and just all out balled for the first time in I can't even remember when. I really don't cry much anymore. We talked some....and today I feel so much better I can't even explain it.
My awsome neighbor Chuck got me a free membership to The American Legion. We met him and his wife down there the other night for drinks and stuff. I really like the place...it's small and all...but such nice people...and real quiet...no bullshit. We're leaving to go back there soon. They're having a benefit chicken bbq that we got tickets to. A few new friends will be there...and hopefully we'll make a few more. We're working hard at making friends up here, and it's not tough, there are so many nice people.
My next goal....losing weight. I ordered some stuff from my grandfather that he's been taking to lose weight and get healthier. He's already lost 35 lbs. I only want to lost about 15, so hopefully, it will help. that and I need to ddo some serious exercising. I have a physical fitness test for the Army in November. I'm going to pass it!!! I want to get promoted and I can't unless I pass it. I'm gonna be Sgt. Dube. How cool would that be?!!
