-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2:00p - Signs So here are some signs that I'm slowly returning to normal... Last night I actually had to concentrate to remember her name. Today I actually took a look at my mess of a room, bags half unpacked (still!), all my so high tech and expensive gear that I drooled over getting just stacked casually on my "coffee table", batteries everywhere, garbage overflowing, floor in DIRE need of vacumming, bed unmade...etc. I was reminded of that scene in _Singles_ where Steve is holed up in his apartment for like, weeks on end...And I cared about it again. I even had the motivation and desire to make things right. Today I emailed her that butterfly picture, with a couple others, and managed to restrain myself to a simple "it was a pleasure to meet you and cory and randy." I didn't feel weird about putting on my fatigues this morning like I did last week. No-one has asked me about re-enlistment today...so that helps too. I actually cared enough to get a bunch of work done this morning, and now I feel bad that I'm crusing the net because now the rest of the day is pretty much a waste of time. In other news, Sunday was the Naha Dragon Boat Race. I didn't get to be on the Army team last year (I didn't know about the race in time to sign up) so I made a point this year. We won our heat! Got a cool looking trophy. Unfortunetly everyone slacked off at the end of our race (we WERE about two boat lenghts ahead!) and our time was just edged out for the third slot in the finals. My but my back was sore this morning though...made the windsprints I threw in at the end of running a real pain. Tonight I'm going back to the gym after an entire month of not going. Should be farely comical. current mood: okay
