Update from yesterday
Nov. 8th, 2004 01:24 pm>>start reading my new hardcover (David Weber, Shadow of Saganami) - probably at work to prevent dying of boredom.>>
Managed to get some read. It's a little slow but not being plagued by the huge InfoDump at the beginning of the last one.
>>Still waiting to see if DA (Dept of the Army) is going to approve my reenlistment and bonus. Hopefully within the next week or two.>>
Still waiting. Now looks more like the end of the month. Overjoyed that I have the best platoon sergeant ever, and ready to slap people in retention. The issue that I was arguing (and my sergeant was arguing for me)? Guess who was right? And it wasn't a 'depends on how you interpret it' deal. Straight up, we were right and they were screwed up.
>>briefing and physical therapy appt on Monday morning>>
Briefing - okay. One of those "Meet the New Commander" briefings. 90 percent Army BS.
Physical Therapy. Yes, I definitely have a meniscus tear in the knee. However, because I can walk (or, if you've seen me lately, hobble), the USAF doctor wants to give it a month or two before saying, "Surgery time". Have to call and deal with evil appointment-making people at the hospital, because I need an alternate APFT event profile.
Is it a bad sign, if you're following your doctor's order to ice and elevate your knee and using a vodka bottle as your icepack? Hey, I have that in the freezer, and I don't have any ice.
>>It's Sunday, and that means football. Go Lions! (please?)>>
Not so much. However, the Cowboys got kicked, and that always helps make the day better.
