Well I will soon be going home to my lovely Idaho! Its funny you don't realize how much you miss a place until you are gone and sometimes wonder if you will ever see it again. Not exactly the best thing to be thinking when in the military but I think everyone has that in the back of their mind, whether their in the military or not. Today was not a very good day for me. Woke up at 0330 for watch and didn't get off watch till 0745. I went back to bed for a few hours, then texted my two friends to see if we were still going to the mall together. Turns out they were already there. So since that fell through I started to clean things up on my desk to discover that I couldn't my cash. I had about 120 bucks and I thought it was in my uniform pocket not there. Tore up the rest of my room couldn't find it so no luck for me. Looks like I'll be doing really last minute Christmas shopping. So that's my day so far. The really good thing that happened though is my littlest sister Sammy called me she got a new phone and we chatted for awhile and we have been texting each other all day. She makes me smile and makes me happy no matter what mood I'm in. I miss her so much!!! I also got a text message from my old english teacher, she always encouraged me to write hopefully one day I will write a book. Whether or not it will be good who knows but I figure this blog will help me practice writing since I haven't really done much since I got out of high school. During watch today I was so bored that I started reading the navy newspaper and before I knew it I was cutting up the paper and started folding boxes. I made a hand sized box first and then I just went smaller and smaller so it was a box within a box. When the rovers checked in the last time I had them guess how many boxes I had, the Petty Officer of the Watch was in on my joke we had a "prize" in the very last box. The female rover guesses were all to low, so was the males but the he finally got it. So I started opening the boxes I had 9 boxes that had both a top and bottom. Finally I get to the last one I hand it to him and say look and see your prize. I had cut a circle and the Petty Officer of the Watch had written 1 cent on it. Haha it was awesome to see his face. I gave him the boxes to make up for the joke. He was realllly cute, had to add that in there. ;)
Randomly my ankle swelled up and is black and blue my boots aren't helping. Not much I could go to medical but they would probably give me a boot to wear and put me on hold I don't want that I just want out of here as fast as possible. Pretty much every weekend I'm stuck in this blasted place can't go anywhere cause my friends disappear as soon as liberty is called. Well I better go and get ready for bed, big day tomorrow.
