I surprised myself this morning and actually woke up with my alarm! I am still not used to getting up at 0500 in the morning, as our schedule changes; especially with flying. However, I did manage to get around and talk to Meagan and Taylor. Taylor's conversation was the usual, "This is what we did..." Meagan and I didn't really have too much to talk about, but I let her know that I was able to get my final payments set up for this deployment and how much the next check will be. Other than that, it was just good to see her!
Went back to the room, got around, and took a shower. Then, I decided it was time to finish up my third block of Course 14; which, I have my test scheduled for Wednesday morning at 0900! :) I actually liked this block, as it gave me hope...as a leader. You see, I've been told, and I know, that I'm not the roughest, toughest sheriff in town. In fact, it takes quite a bit to get me agitated. So, I was worried. However, through this block, I realize that I have a steady leadership style: I like working as a team and will do what needs to be done with them, no matter how rough it gets. You know, that's really me! However, I do have a sense of cautious leadership style in me: I like following the rules. The blend means that I can interpret "between the lines" if a decision needs made. I think that's me, in a nutshell. So, just because I'm not the yelling and screaming type, doesn't mean I cannot lead effectively. And, for me, that's a good thing!
I took a short nap after studying and got around to go eat lunch with the guys. It was pretty good...yankee pot roast again! Today is day three of NO sugar and day 2 1/2 of no soda. I haven't had anything sweet since Friday evening, as a buddy of mine and I are supporting each other on eating no refined sugar (candy, sugar loaded drinks, etc.) for two weeks. I've done pretty good, but it has been very, very hard to pass up chocolate chip cookies, pecan pie, and the HUGE box of oatmeal cream pies I just received last night. Soda, for me, I think has been easy. I usually drink diet, but I have been drinking fruit juice instead. So, I've cut out any unnatural sugar and a LOT of sodium from my diet. Now, let's see if that changes anything...
Work was good today. I spent a couple of hours working on inventory. Then, my flashlight decided it was tired of working and died. So, I will have to finish it tomorrow. Really thing else going on.
Dinner was pretty good, I suppose. I had a bbq beef pocket and a mini pizza. Something different from the norm. Still no soda! :) I've been drinking a lot of fruit juice!
Stopped by after work to call Meagan about our refinance. I'm proud that she took on the task without me there! I feel bad she had to sign everything TWICE...but, glad she got through it!
Alright...back from work and ready for bed to do it all again tomorrow! Night all...God bless!
