Just another day..
Today seems like another one of those days. It just seems like there is a lot on my mind. The hard part is, Brian isn't here to talk to about any of it. I just want to be able to have a normal conversation with him instead of a half an hour over the internet. Time is shortening here. Maybe about 3 1/2 months left. Then after I get back, I have another 3 months that I will have to stay in the Army. There's not way out of it. I've tried. I guess it has its benefits. I won't really be working at all, I will be turning in guess, getting paperwork signed, then for about the last month of it I will be on leave, and getting paid the whole time. Being paid for not doing much, yeah, I'll take that. I am getting really anxious. There are so many things I am looking forward to doing. Anything that doesn't have to do with the Army. Brian and I though are looking at somethings differently. We had a disagreement about what we will enjoy doing when we are home. Then we can't decide where we want to live when we are both out of the Army. I was thinking about it today. We don't know what the future will hold. Sure I may want one thing right now cause I can't have it, but once we get back, it's going to be a whole 'nother story. I guess Mom put it best. She said that dreaming is all we got to do here. Dreaming of stuff that we want to do, places we want to be. You really can't appreciate what you have until it is taken away from you. Like us, our freedom. Freedom to do anything. Like every morning that I walk to the bathroom and have to put my hair up in a bun, again and again, I just tell myself, man I don't want to put it up. Little things like that. Things people take for granted. Wearing whatever you want. Going somewhere without informing someone else. Anyways. I think I made my point.
The time to pack our boxes is among us. We got issued a bigger box than when we came here and I packed it up last night. I didn't really how much stuff I have. Just mine, none of Brians. And its filled to the top. Now the room seems a lot emptier. I guess thats a good thing though, its one step closer to being home. I can't even imagine the room when we sell some stuff. Like our TV, microwave, fridge, XBOX 360, and stereo. All we will have left is the laptop. It's kind of a good feeling though. The less stuff the better.
I went to the gym yesterday and did 5 miles in 31 minutes on the elliptical machine. I just in the zone. I think today I will run on the treadmill though. It mostly depends what music I am to also. I try to put angry, yelling songs, and anything with a fast beat that I can keep in pace with. Seems to work. I getting down to the weight that I would like to be, only 3 more pounds. Now I just need to get a flat tummy.
Well, I should go. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the gym. Yeah, I know, its far. If I walked to chow for every meal, 3 times a day, and back, I would be walking 6 miles a day. Woo, thats a lot. Anyways... Another day down.
