Ground Hog's Day


     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."
