Amazing how nice it was to talk to Riley the other day. Just talk, I mean, and not snark or gripe or nag him for information he can't give me. I ran into him in the mess a while before my shift started, and he looked so discouraged I didn't have the heart to take my usual tactics. I'm glad, because we ended up eating dinner together and having a conversation just as if we were civilians.
I still haven't adjusted to going off night shift. I keep wanting to zip down to the infirmary to check on our one inpatient, SPC Pierce. He's doing much better, and I plan to release him tomorrow. Funny thing is, he swears he can't remember what happened to him. You know, I think I'd remember if I lost most of the blood in my body and nearly died. We examined him thoroughly, but the only wounds we ever found were the small puncture wounds in the bend of his left arm. It's a very strange case, but I'm sure Paige can handle his routine care without me going down there and sticking my nose in.
I should sleep. I have to be on shift at 0700 hours.
