Well, here it is, the first of October! I got up early, for me, this morning. Wide awake at about 0430 this morning and ready to roll! I went in to talk to Meagan and the kiddos...chatted back and forth with Meagan, but the kiddos went to bed. We had a good chat and Meagan came up with an idea to surprise the kids when I get home. So, we're looking at Disney World or SeaWorld. We'll have to see when it gets closer, as Disney World is a bit more expensive (SeaWorld is FREE), but would be oh so cool!
After talking to Meagan, I went back to the room, changed into my gym clothes, and went to work out. I had a good workout...five minutes on the bike, 25 minute run, some core exercises, and then some arm work with the dumbells. Felt really, really good! Will probably do about the same on Wednesday!
After the gym, I went back and got cleaned up. Instead of sitting in my room doing very little of anything, other than sleeping, I headed into work to get some extra stuff done. I mean, I'm in the middle of a war-torn country. It's not like I can head downtown for a few hours before work... So, I went in way early to just hang out and get some stuff knocked out.
Tried something new at lunch today: bbq beef pockets. Surprisingly, they were pretty good! I think the main line was curry chicken, which didn't sound appealing at all...
Work picked up a bit today. We got a lot of things accomplished, so I'm excited about that! Essentially, everything I do here is new, great stuff to me; so, I get a bit excited about all we accomplish. Funny, as I am reminded of my first trip out. I was on an adrenaline high after we were done. The guy I was with thought I was crazy. But, just the feeling of going out, doing a great job, and completing the mission was AWESOME! :)
Dinner consisted of sweet and sour beef over rice. Very, very good stuff, in my opinion. The coworker I ate with agreed. I would rank it as one of the better meals. Of course, the best so far has to be corned beef and cabbage! :)
Finished stuff up at work and spent some extra time in the office looking at Disney stuff. I called and got the ticket prices from the Navy base. It looks like, with Emma being over three now, our option will be the 1-day, 1 park pass. I think we'll get two nights at the resort. This way, Meagan and the kids can drive down, stay the night, and I can meet them at the park the next morning. Then, we can stay the night and head back the next day. I think that would work better than trying to make it a few days. Plus, we may take Taylor out of school a couple of days, depending on when I get home. We'll see...plenty of time to plan!
Alright, it's late...2300...and I need to get up at 0445 in the morning. Night all and God bless!
