Day 215

Another day of my life I'll never get back. Ok, so it wasn't that
bad, but it wasn't that great either.

My day did start of on a funny note though. I woke up and realized
that the two key errands I needed to take care of yesterday slipped my
mind. I needed to pick up my laundry, and I needed to buy a bar of
soap. So a shower early wouldn't have been very productive. I ended
up watching a couple episodes of Star Trek: DS9 to kill time and then
I went out. I got the laundry with no issue, but then I had to hunt
to find a store that was open at 9am on a Friday (Afghan day off).
Eventually I found some, so that was good. Then I came back to shower
and change.

I had some advance agents arrive today, so I went over to Camp Eggers
to go over plans with them. It was pretty productive, if not a little
confusing. And we're using a ridiculous amount of manpower and
vehicles for this visit. I thought my last one was bad with the head
of NATO! But at least the days go by, and the visit will start soon.
Hopefully I can survive unscathed!

After that I got some dinner at Eggers, which was a pretty decent
hamburger, jello, and cookies. Nothing like eating healthy! But
tonight was also Navy Night. I didn't really know what that meant, so
I went over to check it out. Apparently, it means a clubbing scene.
Extremely loud music, dark room with strobe lights, glow sticks, etc.
I am not in college anymore, and I didn't enjoy that when I was in
college either! I was pretty much a stick in the mud, and I left
early. I guess I just don't understand the charm of having to yell at
the top of your lungs to say hello to someone you can barely see. Oh
well.

But I'm back in my room, ready for bed. I am going out tomorrow to
recon a location, which should be a good trip. Plus, I arranged
helicopters to meet us there, so I get to check those out. Don't
think they'll let me fly it, but you never know! Good night!
