Medics to Maintainers
. One of our respiratory therapists used to do maintenance on F-16s. He has been taking some of us out to the flight line to check out the planes up close and learn a bit about folks who repair them.

Pizza Hut in Balad
.

Wasn't too bad. Now I can say I've had it. Better for my waistline to wait until I have some folks to share it with me....or just wait to get home for thin crust.

Deep Thoughts
.
Doing laundry is fattening.
----------
Isn't it true that when you put on a pair of freshly laundered pants, aren't they always tighter than the pair you just put into the hamper? Both of my ABU pants are size 12S. But one pair is definately tighter than the other. I think this pair was mismarked and should have been a 10S. Maybe I'll lose some more weight and they won't be so tight anymore. I've already lost 5# since leaving the US. Now that I'm over this cold I should be able to workout more often. I'm trying to get out of my office and walk around the facility more - I used to get in at least 4000-5000 steps a day at Sunrise.
----------
Got some bad news about a fellow dietitian back in Las Vegas. Could have been a lot worse but it's still very heartbreaking. My well wishes to her family & friends and for a speedy & positive recovery to all.

Meet My Roommate
Typically she gets back to the room after I've gotten to bed, or she's already asleep when I get back from the Rec Center. And I get up before she does (my alarm goes off at 6a, she doesn't have to be at work until 8a). We work at totally different squadrons. So we don't run into eachother in the daylight....until yesterday. I was walking past the volleyball and saw her with her squadron, so I snapped a quick picture.
Meet Doris.

This morning we both woke up much earlier than we wanted. At 6:30a there was insistent knocking next door (guess someone overslept their shift???). And if you wake us up in the morning, you also wake up our bladders. Getting up for a hike to the bathroom = keeping me up the rest of the morning. On the plus side I finished a book and visited DFAC2 at breakfast for the first time - I'm not missing much (except omelettes to order, I can live without those for six months). So I have to wait another another week to get 8 hours of sleep instead of 6.
