Little here, little there...

Today was a slow day at work.  I tuned up some procedures, then got a report that took me to the end of the work day to complete.  

I was eager to get home because Etsy was kenneled up during the day for the first time by me.  I did it because of the two showings of the house today.  I heard nothing, so I'm guessing she wasn't too horrible.  She was actually very quiet when I got home, so I'm guessing she was the same way with the visitors.  Needless to say, she was very happy to see me.

In other news, I found out today that one of our women soccer players who got injured last night actually fractured one of the small bones in her foot.  It was weird reading that because she came off the field as if it was just a little twang of the ankle, but I do remember her putting her jacket on right after getting off the field.  We were only about 10 minutes into the game, which is why I remembered.  It's a bummer for her and the team.  It was definitely a game of a few bonks here and there.  My neck is a little stiff from it today.

In an effort to get some serious military paperwork done tonight, I made the executive decision to snag a Little Caeser's pizza and then snap to it.  While I did get it done, was a tiny bit overwhelming and frustrating.  The two parties that needed the paperwork were looking for almost exactly the same paperwork, only neither of them seemed to know that.  What made it worse was our fault because they each had a different copy of some of the same forms that we gave them!  Hopefully, this will be the last of it for the moving paperwork, but then again, I often think too wishfully:)

Word on the Benning front is that most of the recent arrivals are overwhelmed with the change of pace in training.  It makes sense to me in that they are all bunking this time where as all the way up to this point they all had their own rooms.  I can imagine that for people who've never had to share a room, this is a very significant change indeed.  Also, they spent the past several months in a classroom setting of which they were all comfortable.  Now, they are doing everything in a simulated field environment which I am sure is outside of the comfort zone of the direct commissioned officers.  I heard rumors that they might be mixed with some enlisted soldiers during their training as well.  I'm curious to know how that will go.

It's official.  We're going to catch each other in Chicago for President's day weekend!  She gets her only four day weekend at that time, and so it will be our little Valentine's Day getaway.  It will be nice going back to Chicago.  So many good memories there.  We had our honeymoon there not even a year ago.  Chicago is starting to become our home away from home:)  A special thanks to all those who helped me reschedule or look after a few things while we're there.  I hope to have lots of pictures to share as a reward!
