Sixty days remaining. Sixty days left in this dry, windy, sandy, dirty, and alcohol free country. And that is the maximum time left. It might be a couple of days sooner. That thought is the first thing that improved my mood today, after spending it sluggish and down. Four hours until guard shift is over, another two after that until the new month stuff, which...

Two days of playing Pathfinder has staved off the depression that had me in its grips for the better part of the week, but whenever it is over it leaves me feeling drained and exhausted. It is like a sugar high. It feels fantastic when I am on it and when it is over I feel less for the lack of it. Today wasn't as...

Some days you feel like you can take on the world. You feel like you are invincible, unerring, indestructible.
Today was not one of those days for me.
All day I've been tired, sluggish, moody. The few times I felt energetic were times when I was letting my rage out. I was distracted enough a couple of times to be okay, but I wasn't a...

Wednesday is a stupid day.. too far from weekend and without the happyness of Sunday (too far also that!)
Another day down, another day closer to freedom, to a cessation of this pause on life. I have semi-solid dates on my transfer from this unit now. They are not immediately after I return from my tentative leave dates, but pretty close. It will be good to see the back of this unit. The question I have to answer between now and then is do...

Yesterday's adventure in Army incompetence was only slightly less of a clusterfuck than the day before, but after six hours mostly consumed by reading the fifth Song of Ice and Fire books and nearly finishing it, I got off work, got a pizza, and proceeded to finish beating Tomb Raider. It did a good job at being an entertaining story and experience, and the graphics...

It's Sunday morning, technically, but because I haven't gone to sleep yet, I am counting it as Saturday night. Worked today, but not much, and will be working again tomorrow. I should probably have gone to sleep hours ago, but I haven't so whatever.
My mother went to the hospital Thursday night. Friday morning she went back home. They thought it was a heart attack,...

Busted my fool head open today for the second time this deployment. Three staples in my head right now. I feel pretty silly. Hit my head on an overhanging piece of the equipment trailer that I was dropping off to the mechanics' bay to get looked at. No concussion, so that's good.
I didn't take my meds for three days and today I started taking...

Today was a short day at work. Sixty some odd days left until I get on the plane to head back to civilization. Looking forward to it. Coping well today. Installed new mods on Skyrim and have been getting my ass kicked by random bandits. Need to keep my head down and away from stray bolts from people's crossbows. Hah. Tomorrow I will be trying...

Skipping karaoke. Too tired. Maybe next week. Practiced violin for a bit. Will likely be turning in early due to early start to work tomorrow.
This past week has been rough for my mindset for no real or apparent reason. I have been regularly fighting to keep my mind off of thoughts that it needs to avoid. I skipped lunch yesterday and today, as well...

Last night was the first time since arriving in Kuwait that I ate in a civilian establishment completely removed from a military installation since leaving America. It was nice, even if I don't feel it was quite worth the price tag. Got an after hours tour of the model ship museum after dinner. I have also learned a new way to describe opulence. Many American...
