Day 62 - 27 October 2012

So, I managed to get up at a decent time today...0545. I made it over to talk to Meagan. I thought it was odd that she wasn't on messenger waiting for me; then I discovered she had an accident at the camp site. Apparently, there was a tree stump she didn't see and hit it with the van. Luckily, nothing serious...she and the kids are fine. It sounds like our exhaust on the van needs repaired or replaced. I told her not to worry about it...that's why we have insurance and we can cover it. So, she's without the van for who knows how long. Our insurance covers a rental for $50/day, so she can get something for her and the kids to get around in.

Got into work for my second long shift...the guys are leaving today. It's a bit surreal...my family of two months is leaving. I'm ready for my own space in the office, but certainly not looking forward to being here alone.

Went up to lunch with the guys. I had a cheeseburger, fries, and baked beans. It was a pretty good lunch...and my cheeseburger for the week! ;)

After lunch, I came back to finish up some paperwork for my team. One of the guys was going to the BX, so I hitched a ride to get out of the office for a bit. Went and turned in the paperwork for the guys, so that should be squared away by the time they arrive...

Came back to the office and worked some more on my EPR, which is due to my supervisor by Monday. I already sent him one draft this morning, but there were a few things I wanted to rework. The guys bailed on me to go tie up loose ends. It's quiet in here again...

Headed out for dinner...figured I might be by myself, since I lost track of time. I ran into the guys on their way into dinner and we bumped into our leadership. We all had a nice convesation and leadership thanked them for the hard work. We had chicken cordon bleu for dinner. I complimented it with succotash, mixed vegetables, and three bean salad. It was a pretty good meal...I like the chicken cordon bleu here. I wish we had it more!

After dinner, the guys came back to load their stuff up in the truck. I drove it over to their plane, helped them unload it, and wished them safe travels. One of the pilots wanted to go grab dinner, so I took him to the DFAC and back to the plane. When I got back, I wanted to get a picture with my "Air Force family" before they departed. So...here we are! :)

I took the truck back, parked it, turned the keys in, and started walking back to the shop. That's kinda when it hit me...I'm alone for a while...again. Just a really sucky feeling right now...

Sent Meagan some texts after work...sounds like Taylor is having an attitude right now. I was sure hoping they would have more fun at camp. I just told her to remind him that if he wants rewards, he needs to behave...

Alright, it's been a long couple of days. I am exhausted! Good night all...God bless!
