Day 43

Another day, another dollar...or in my case, another clean room.  I've almost got my house under control; I just have some vacuuming and such that I need to do tomorrow.

Today was a gorgeous day.  In fact, that was the impetus for today's picture - our first day above 80° (the top number is the outdoor temperature):


I wish it could just stay at this temperature, rather than getting nasty hot like I know it will.  Ben's probably thinking the same thing, as they've already had days that were over 100°.

We have now officially survived six weeks...only 46 (or so) more to go.  My 'Donut of Misery' is headed toward the 12% mark (and in even better news, my R&R donut is above 15%!!).  I hope the rest of the deployment progresses pretty much like this - slow, but not TOO slow.  It honestly doesn't seem like it's been six weeks yet - but those 46 remaining weeks are looking like an insurmountable obstacle right now.  I know it'll all even out and it'll be time for him to come home before I know it...I wish we could just skip all this in between stuff and get to that point now...lol.

And on that note, I'm heading off to bed.  I have lots of animals to check on in the morning, plus I want to mail off another care package and I need to make a commissary run.  See y'all on day 44!!
