Thoughts

"So I've been back for awhile, about 3 weeks. I don't know how I'm adjusting, fine I guess. My mom told her the armory had a meeting a while before we got him and counselors told them we'd probably be crazy and to give us a lot of space. That makes me a little angry. Most days are lonely; I am on paid leave until February 2nd so I just sit around all day while roommates and friends are at work, playing video games (World of Warcraft, surprise! there's a big nerd hiding within) and watching movies. The cold here in Michigan is awful too; it's -3 right now, -17 with the wind. It was cold in Iraq, we though, at 70 degrees coming down from 140. Now it's 87 degrees colder. Blankets don't do it; I sleep with my issued deep cold sleeping bag. Our next drill isn't until the end of February (thank you Governor Granholm for reducing cooldown from 90 to 60 days), and it's just a reunion drill at a hotel; civilians authorized, beard growing contest approved."
