With great power comes great ... electricity bills

Hello Ali, my succulent little garden snail, and who will we be scarring today?

In fact, garden snail does sound succulent and would taste better then eating another turkey burger for the 67th day in a row...

So day two of broken clinic episode.... it was a hot day. Blistering day. A blistering hot day and I was sitting at my desk next to my side kick, SSG Hof, saying nothing. Then it happened. We couldn't see it, nor did we know that it had happened, but right beneath our noses, it happened. It was, in fact, so close to our noses that it was in our noses. "SSG Hof, do smell that?" I ask. "Forget about it" he replies. "No the smell is familiar, I know this smell it reminds me of...of." "Well I didn't let one go if that's what you're getting at" interjects Hof. "SSG Hof, listen to me, we are in serious danger. In fact, we are surrounded at this very moment" SSG Hof slides out of his seat nervously darting his eyes about the dingy and poorly lit office. "Is it the fuzz?" he manages to choke out. "Yes, Hof, it IS the fuzz." I whisper in reply. "It's the fuzz and it is growing in our walls. I knew I recognized that smell. It is the same smell we had in the case of 'Mold is growing in Ft Polk'. That was no easy mystery then and nearly did us all in." "Is there any hope?" Squeaks Hof. I squint at him over my loupes "No Hof, I'm afraid not." Just then, there was a knock at the door... To be continued

The mystery will continue to unfold in future episodes but for now it just means that I'm bored and am trying to get out of doing my CE course. I finished the first assignment, then fell asleep for like 2 hours in the library. I did work out and played (or should so got the poo beat our of me) in racket ball. I ran this morning too.

Tomorrow I hope to be awesome and get 2 assignments done in my CE course. Plus the usual. I also, really, really want to get a cheap guitar. I have been really itching to play a lot of guitar and feel it would be so relaxing. Think about it...I could serenade you and woo you with my songs? Don't you want to be wooed?

Without work I just don't have much interaction with folks. It's amazing, only two days and it feels like I haven't seen anyone for weeks. I just do my thing going from the gym to the library to the defac to bed. I passed by CPT Banks who also said he was so bored today and tomorrow he might join me at the library to start some CE courses himself. It just is nice to have a buddy even if you are silken in the library.

I'm coming down with a sore throat, I wonder if I am fungal infected?

Well, I miss you. I keep hoping that the clinic is like destroyed for the next two months and they decide 'well there's nothing for you to do so we'll just send you home while we fix this'. There's always wishful fantasizing right? Speaking of fantasizing... well I have to keep this PG but I miss you (I think I said that) and am excited that we are at the top of the mountain and looking at the downhill part home now.

Ali, my tender, oozing blossom, you're looking fabulous today. Is that a new haircut? Come on, tell me it's a new haircut, isn't it? It's got to be a new haircut. New makeup? You had a lift? You had a tuck? You had something? Something has been inserted in in you that makes you look...like the most ridiculously hot, gorgeous, sexy girl alive I ever did lay eye on.

You're monster of love,

hairy hubby
