Drill this weekend. It was up in the air for a bit because of the budget not being passed. It is horrendous that our leaders bicker and argue while our service men and women are on the front line, putting themselves at risk with the possibility of not getting paid for it. If it comes right down to it, I would prefer not to get my own money if they need to send it to someone who is deployed.
I am back and forth on my pt test right now. Sometimes I pass some times I do not. The run is my main hurdle at this point. I run at least a mile daily. I have started pushing two for the last month in an effort to accustom myself to the distance I will need to run at basic.
My weight is no longer an issue. I have not been what people would consider fat, but I have been over weight. In the last two months I have shed nearly 20 pounds. I missed my goal last drill by one lousy pound. This drill I’m under the limit by a few pounds. My goal is 175 and I should be able to reach that within the next month.
Progress on my work book concerning the next level of Jedi warrior training has come to a screeching halt. With the fact I have been laid off from my job looming over my head, I find a distinct lack of motivation to accomplish anything remotely resembling work. Perhaps once I have finished my responsibility at this child prison I will have more desire to once again put my efforts into creation.
I am looking foreword to having time to paint again. If I can put the hours I would normally spend babysitting into art, I will be able to create and finish many new works. This must be a priority this summer.
