Cameras At Work

I wish we were allowed to have them. Why, you ask? Because my name is actually on a whiteboard underneath a deployment month. This Fall. Success! Make a little money this fall (and maybe again next spring), come back to Omaha to get everything squared away and get the hell out of here. It's almost like I think about this a lot or something.

Also, it was sunny here today. I can prove it!

She hates baths so much.

April Showers Bring...Tornados?

I'm so bad at this writing regularly thing. Mostly because I forget this blog exists from time to time, and then I remember and that's also when I write. So, what's been going on?

• I started flying. This is both kind of awesome and sucks spectacularly, just like most everything else in the military. Awesome because well, I'm flying twice a week, get to wear a more comfortable uniform and am one step closer to being done with this whole training thing that apparently sucks no matter what rank you are. Which leads us to the fact that I also throw up during touch-and-go's, feel crushingly exhausted after every flight and vow never to complain about a 5 hour commercial flight ever again.
• Signals are kind of neat, kind of mind-boggling. They also make me wish I had taken physics in high school, because this might all make more sense.
• I'm re-learning how to live the single life. This is for good healthy, responsible reasons, but is still weird considering I've spent about two months single in the last 4.5 years. There's a learning curve involved. Especially when you're gay and find yourself magically in the American Midwest with no hope of return to a sane coastal area for over a year.
• The pup is awesome and passed basic obedience. 
• More tattoo work coming next month. Expect photos.
• I'm taking a class through OSU, and am trying really, really hard not to procrastinate until the last minute. So far it's working, but we'll see whether it continues through the whole quarter. I still have two more discussion boards and two more papers.
• I'm waking up multiple times in the night, usually from bad dreams. This has been going on for a couple weeks now. Awesome Roomie half-jokingly told me to go see a shrink, I considered melatonin until I read that it makes your dreams more vivid. That's probably a horrible idea, considering.

Anyway, that's probably most of the updates for now. Other than the title of this post; weather in the Midwest is as crazy as people say. I'm really ready for it to be above 45 and raining, since we're almost to May.
