Odds and Ends
It's been a relatively uneventful week. Josh and Brittney went to Florida with some friends of hers this week, so I've kind of been on my own at work. From all evidence, he's pretty miserable this time around. On the other hand, it looks like I'm going to be back on the truck on Monday (finally) so maybe that will be a nice surprise.
Wednesday I went fishing on my own for my first time. Turns out it wasn't quite as miserable as I thought it might be, but I definitely prefer having someone else along. I didn't catch much, but it was a nice morning so I didn't mind.
A couple of weeks ago I got a random phone call from Brian. He figured he may as well call me for once instead of texting me. I don't really use my phone for talking much, so it was pretty cool. And we have the ability to ramble on about randomness for surprisingly long periods of time. So we now keep each other company about three or four nights a week. It's cool having someone to talk to - even if he's not really here. It reminds me a bit of when Nick was staying with me.
I was going to go out and see my sister & nephews yesterday morning, but they weren't around, so I missed out again. I ended up parking out by the Jasper Riverwalk and sat in my car reading a book in a thunderstorm for a few hours. It was a nice relaxing way to spend the morning - even if I was on my own again.
I just got done writing a card to Jeremy. He's just about done with his second month of Basic, so it'll be at least another month before anyone hears from him. It was kind of a cheesy envelope, but it was the only blank card set I had on hand.
My sleeping habits have become pretty erratic lately. I wake up at odd hours, don't sleep many hours, and the dreams are back again. Nothing bad. Just... multitudinous and vivid.
I'm having some issues with guilt about the way I handled Papaw's dying. I don't know... I'll try getting that out of my system on a later date.
