Love in a Coffee Cup
So, this happened today. I’m doing okay, really. I think I am in complete denial about the whole thing, to be honest. We’ll see how I am two weeks from now. In the meantime, I have a little story about yesterday. If you know my husband at all, you know that he is what I…

Unrequited Wrong Number Love
I was awakened around one in the morning to a text message that I only half noticed. I’m used to getting messages at odd times, either because people forget that my time zone is however many hours behind theirs, or from organizations that I want to hear information and they message me based on my…

Friday night zombies
So the “Meet an animal” will have to wait one more day because it’s late and I haven’t had time to write it today…. so instead I’ll tell you about the night game we play on Fridays. It’s pretty much a zombie apocalypse scenario game where there is a zombie (or a pair of zombies,…

Adventures on base, part 3
Today I had a doctor’s appointment to find out if I needed any vaccines to go to the Philippines later this year, so I drove onto base and got there about ten minutes early… only to hear a strange alarm sounding and a man in uniform blocking the entrance to the clinic. I rolled down…

Port Royal Change of Command
Last Thursday I was one of a few to attend the Change of Command ceremony on our ship, where we received a new Captain and said goodbye to the one that has been there for our entire time in Hawaii. Sitting in the front, I had a good view overall and took some photos which…
