Day 65 - 30 October 2012

Today's a BIG day! I am 1/3 of the way done! The moon was full last night, so only four more to go before I can look to being back with the family!

I was up and at 'em early again this morning...0415! I made it over to the terminal by 0500 to talk to Meagan and the kiddos. We were having a heck of a time getting the video to work. We tried Yahoo and MSN...both kept shutting off on us. So, I rebooted my computer and that seemed to help...until Meagan's battery died! We did get to chat for a while. She's driving a brand spankin' new KIA Sportage or Sorento...I'm not sure which one. It's a 2013 model with only 44 miles on it! Now...I'm hoping she's willing to part with it at the end of the week! ;) She also told me that cards came from Grandma, Joy, and Sheryl. We and the kids received some money...all I can really say is, thank you to them! It certainly does help us out...especially given the series of "breakdowns" over the last two months. And, I promise, I will NOT jinx Meagan again. You see, when the air conditioner went out in September, followed by the dryer this month, I joked with the guys here that the van would be next... :( So, I'm vowing to keep my mouth shut this time...

Came into work and everything is still quiet...I just have a few things to work on today. I have some phone calls to make, but otherwise will start studying today. I purchased the study software for my promotion test next year. I've always done well when I use it, and I want to be over the top this year! Now that my PME course is done, I'm focusing on that rocker!!!

Went to lunch with leadership again today. I had a "Vietnamese" sandwich. It was pretty much a thin pork chop with grilled onions on a hamburger bun. I topped it with a slice of swiss and coupled it with a salad. I haven't had desert in a while, so I had a bowl of pralines and cream with a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie...YUM! :) After yesterday's workout session, I think I owed myself a treat!

Back at work and still working on a couple of system issues...but, it's looking up! I'd like to get 100% very, very soon! Time will tell...I spent another 45 minutes studying, so I'm up to about an hour and 15 minutes for today. I'm almost done with chapter two. I'm just going to do a chapter at a time and then put it all together when I'm done. Then, depending on how that goes, I need to jump into my CDC volumes. Unfortunately, the company that makes the software doesn't have any current volumes for study guides...so, that will be reading only...ugh!

I'm a sucker for love...I sent Meagan flowers! ;) It will be a complete surprise! <3 She's been having a bad week and I was thinking about her, so what the heck, right?

Dinner was good. I had a salad and an Asian chicken wrap. It was basically chicken and cheese with a very little bit of cabbage. I wouldn't exactly classify it as Asian, but it was good!

Not much going on at work tonight. I've been working on a few small issues...but nothing big; so, that's good! Time to punch the clock and call it a night. Night all...God bless!
