Easter Greetings, all. I hope this holiday Sunday finds you all happy and relatively comfortable. I am having a pretty good day, personally. Actually, all of my days have been pretty good as of late… you know, everything being relative and all.
Why is everything so peachy for me? Well, for one thing, I am now able to talk to my family every day, and for me, that’s a very good thing. The other day my darling wife sent me my wedding band in the hope that I had lost enough weight at Ft. Sill to be able to put it on. Well, friends, on my finger it now resides and forever there it shall remain. For just under four years it’s been staying put, quietly passing the time in drawers or on a hook near my workstation and whenever I would run cross it, it would always feel as though a piece of my soul were detached. Four freakin’ years! Never again, lol.
On a more materialistic level, I got my hands on this zippy new laptop and broadband card! Also, I’m not getting yelled on every dern day for other people’s mistakes. That’s a big win for me. Also-also, I was able to spend a bit of time with my darling wife, in the flesh, so to speak. It was awesome, definitely the high point of the year.
I don’t know how much longer all this relative freedom and happiness will last (it’ll probably end rather abruptly this Friday and go back to the way it was for a few weeks) but while it lasts I’m a-gonna take advantage of it. Phone calls, e-mails, letters, comics, books (Thx Ev and J) and movies are in my future, you know, along with push-ups, boots and classes.
Thank you to everyone who wrote and sent happy thoughts to me while I was in that awful place (Oklahoma was and is pretty sucky)as I honestly believe it was your support more than anything internal to me that got me through it. Thank you thank you thank you.
