haha, I just realized how shitty that last post was. I haven't been sleeping too well lately...I'm not sure what's causing it, I've always been a light sleeper but it's getting pretty bad; I'll only rack out for about five hours a night, if it's anything more than that I'll be up randomly throughout the night. It seems like it's getting harder and harder to wind down, it sounds totally cliche but you really can't just turn it off.
I had a bit of a freak out today, then had to try and explain it to mom. I'm not paranoid or scared by any means, I've noticed I've been increasingly aggressive and uncompromising with things.. it was tough trying to explain things to her, even though she was married to a pilot that served, she never saw this side of things.
Other than that, I've got eighteen days to burn and absolutely NO plans, I'd rather not spend another leave doing nothing...time to get things cooked up.
I'm pretty pumped, I just ended up buying a new rucksack (not that I should have to, but it's a historic problem with LRS, we can't get what we need approved by higher) and my plate carrier, ha, sometimes I'm such a dork it kills me, but I've totally got a whole day set aside just to set everything up once it comes in.
that's it!
