But we will survive
We're running out of time, the world ends tonight
Unless we dance or die
Dance or die
ASHLEY, COMMANDING OFFICER.
...is thankful that Becca, Bubba and Leah were here to help her pack the office. That was a chore. I knew it was going to be the most tedious packing chore. It's still not completely done, but I'm shutting the door until Friday, my only day off before the big move. I did buy a paper shredder today, to shred all the old documents that aren't needed anymore. I'm quite proud of that stupid shredder. The small things make you happiest. Right?
Anyway, now it's just Zero and I. Just sitting here recuperating from the past 2 weeks. It's weird to have the chance to be alone now. Like I said before, I'm incredibly thankful that Becca and them were here...but I'm also happy to have this time to think about everything. So far I've already thought about all the care packages I want to send and sat down and thought about goals I would like to accomplish before he comes home. I'm feeling a little more at ease with everything, and it's great to have such an excellent support system at home and here, for that matter.
I had a phone interview with Lexington Medical Center this morning. I think/hope that it went well. The woman I interviewed with was extremely nice and fortunately could relate with me on the deployment thing since her son is about to come home. I can't wait to feel that feeling and Tomato hasn't even been gone a week. I'm set up to have a peer panel interview in two weeks. Wish me tons of luck on that. The hospital is almost too good to be true to me. 72 beds, trauma, 260 patients a day and a 3:1 nurse/patient load. When she talked to me I noticed that the ER at LMC is set up very similarly to Onslow's, which is great. Having experience with something is always great, and makes you feel more at ease with the situation. It's always after interviews that I come up with all these great questions that I forgot to ask. Also, it's so hard to answer interview questions, no matter how hard you practice the right answers.
I can't believe that this time next week, I'll be a day from being home. I just hope that my expectations of the situation aren't too high. As a matter of fact, they can't be too high...I'll be with my family. You can't beat that.
Family is so important. I never realized the extent of that until I moved to Jacksonville. I never really realized the extent of that until I reached an age to care. It's awesome to be out of those selfish teenage/early adulthood years. Being around my brother this weekend, has taught me that especially. There are just somethings you want to scream at teenagers and wish that they would get through their heads, but they don't...and they won't.
TOMATO, THE HUBS.
Tomato is still in Germany. Which is good, I would rather he be in Germany than in Afghanistan. Every day he's gone is a day closer to when he gets to come back...wether he's in Germany or in the Middle East.
I can tell he's tired, but it's such a treat to see his face every day so far.
ZERO, THE DRAGON.
Zero's friend Jeffie (I renamed him) is gone now. Zero is vegging out on the couch because he's so exhausted from catching the frisbee and keeping up with a Miniature Pincher. Like I said earlier, Tomato skyped today and called Zero's name. Zero was looking all around for him and even went to the toy basket to get a toy to play with Tomato. He actually looked disappointed when he didn't see Tomato at the door. I felt bad. I don't think we can do that to Zero again.
