Just a quick note
To let you all know I’m still alive and writing. Summer’s always demanding on time. Got all those extra daylight hours and somehow there’s things to be done to fill them up. Right now I should be
a) doing laundry
b) fixing the desktop computer
c) writing
d) cleaning up daughter’s room so it’s not so frightening when she gets back
e) writing daughter a letter so I have something to send on Monday &/or Tuesday
f) writing–or thinking about writing
g) cleaning up computer room because it’s next on the list of house projects
oh, and h) thinking about what I’m gonna make for dinner considering it’s after 6 already. *sigh*
As for a daughter update, she’s past halfway her Army basic training–more like in the home stretch, although she does have several major challenges ahead of her. She called Friday night. Said she’d been named Squad Leader (mommy pride here) and eager and scared to embrace those extra duties. She’s passed her latest physical training test and did very well on her rifle marksmanship test. From everything she’s said, she’s still happy with her decision to join and is VERY happy she’s decided to do the split ops–where she does basic this summer, then comes home to attend her senior year of high school, then goes off next summer for her AIT (advanced training) which will also be about 9-12 weeks long (we’re getting a couple of versions).
So, done here. Gonna see about the above list.
Ciao!
