The days are
starting to run together. I don't even really know, or care, what day of the
week it is. It doesn't matter, each day is the same and they seem to drag on
and blur together. I emailed Zach, and some other family, the other day and my
intro included "I'm finally emailing!" It occurred to me later,
though that phrase seemed appropriate at the time, in reality it had only been
2 days into the underway. I still feel like using "finally" and it
has been 4 days. Crap, I thought I was doing so well! One day at a time, one
day at a time. I'm thankful to be busy and if there's one thing I've learned in
the Navy, and generally in life, is that time will go on and this too shall
pass...
Speaking of, I
missed the Sunday service this morning because I had watch, and the day we left
port I realized I forgot my bible. womp womp... I borrowed one from the library
but it's not 'mine' and it smells funky.
Best actors
and actresses was the topic on watch tonight. This is one of the more
appropriate topics we've dissected while trying to stay awake and make the time
pass. Matt Damon (catch your breath), Jake Gyllenhaal, Jennifer Lawrence, Hugh
Jackman, Angelina Jolie were among the top picks,. Along with being a very
conservative topic it was surprisingly civil. In fact, I don't even recall and
cussing or name calling! Proud or not, the stereotypes about sailors are
generally true...pray for us, lol.
Navy slang: bulkhead; a wall. "You can hang those
flyers on the bulkhead."
