Oddly enough, I don't have much to say this week...

My job is nice, I actually leave work at a decent hour, and I'm finally doing the job I joined the military for.
Yesterday, I arrived home after work at around 3pm, and usually I eat dinner, watch TV or a movie, and get to sleep around 8:30/9:00. Not so much yesterday. I got home and fell fast asleep the second I sat down. I woke up at 9:00pm fully rested, and couldn't get back to sleep.
My body was so accustomed to ONLY sleeping when I was in my room when I was in News, that I think it had a lapse, and thought I needed to sleep. Oh well, I still got my 6 hours in.
I have 24-hour duty tomorrow, so I'll need to get as much sleep as I can tonight.

Vanessa just found out she can get all of her stuff out of storage and sent to her in Germany. That means she'll have ll the furniture she needs, without having to pick up anything new. She's also looking into getting a phone and the internet so we can talk more often, and a car so I can call her when I get off work, like she calls me when she does. Wish her luck.
Also, she really loves it at work. She's surrounded by people who seem nice, and have her best interests in mind (unlike so many of her previous experiences in the military).

I got back in touch with probably my best "girl-friend" in the world (next to Vanessa). Ray has been my friend since I started college, and we've stayed as close as we could for the last 11 years. And to think, it all started because she read my name tag at work, and said hello. That, and I recommended that she watch a really bad movie. I used to think that it was unfair to have best friends, but after only a few months of knowing her, I knew she would be someone I could call "best." So, welcome back Ray, I hope to see you soon.

Please write a response with Christmas wishlists. I know I wrote a tirade about not wanting anything, and not being able to afford much, but it's Christmas time, so I'll do my best to scrounge for presents. Just let me know. : )
