So today was a pretty amazing day for us here in Kandahar but my day was better than any have been in recent memory.
Started off pretty normal, dragged myself out of bed for breakfast but was thrilled at the day off. After breakfast took care of some financial business then headed to the gym for a good strength training work-out. I can't move my arms much so that means today was great.
The key note of the day however was getting to see Toby Keith perform live for us courtesy of the USO. Gave us a handful of songs before leaving but a roaring chant of a thousand plus soldiers/sailors/airmen brought him back out to perform American Soldier and Courtesy of the Red White and Blue. He's a heck of a good guy and having him come out here for us was one hell of a spirits booster for us all.
Then for dinner they treated us with lobster and steak. Talk about a day to remember? It's back to work tomorrow(and a class on TEACHING CLS(Combat life saving) for me!) and Sunday I work 0730 until 0800 MONDAY so that will be fun but today will sustain me.

Thanks. He said if needed , we'll discuss more time when this week is over but I really can't afford to take more time off. If necessary, I'll have my assistant come in and answer phones or I'll do 1/2 days. I just get sooo exhausted sooo easily. I went to the docs, waffle house, rite aid (twice) and that alone was more then I could handle. I was literally dead on my feet. And yea, I never thought about the tonsils guarding against germs... I'll have to watch out for that. I need to be more health-conscious overall.
