Feb. 8

It's started raining like nobody's business in the morning. We had to assemble two baggage pallets for a flight in the pouring rain. It was a big-time drag but it had to get done, at least the army that was on the flight helped. Thyere was a brief argument between our bag sup and the army guys helping us. They kept stressing the wanted the generals bags on top, which I understood, but they repeated it like five times. Sra Gilman said in an angry tone, "I'm in charge of this pallet and We'll do it the way I say to do it!" Great, now I had to diffuse a potential ugly scenario, so I told him to put a lid on it. I don't think gilman realized there was an army captain out there who said, "his bags are going on top, you don't have to be on the flight with him and I don't want him to be pissed." It all worked out, but when its wet and cold, its easy to get emotional.

I later did my first P90X of the tour, Core. I was drenched and I was able to do it till the end. I've done it before, I've seen the results after a month, I just gotta stay on it. I weigh myself in 2 days. I then went to get my second anthrax shot and asked about getting some Ambien. I heard they're handing them out like candy here. They obliged, sweet!! I'm leery of having to take any meds but I'm sick of waking up after 4 hours and not follwing back asleep. It worked great, I still woke up, but this time only 30 min. before my alarm. I really miss home, but can't dwell on it too much
