A bit harsh...

my last post.

Certainly, I was miserable, but there were many, many good things about my trip and my return. I made a list of happy things.

*people going out of their way to help me (SGT H @ Finance, 1LT L and SFC P with the signal platoon)
*chat w/ T - reminding me of something called 'grace'
*emails from people who love me (P, M) that are under no obligation to love me
*getting on that flight back to camp
*having people happy to see me when I got off the helo
*hot water for my shower
*a heater that works!
*my bed

I also got mail from cousin (yummy cookies - thanks ria+3!), sister (good coffee and love the Onion you included), Blue Star Mothers, boy, 2 T letters, Amazon.com (Heroes Season 1, The Best American Nonrequired Reading of 2007 (love this series), and Ryan Adams & The Cardinals Follow the Lights) (love this guy)...

You are welcome :-) I think I must have missed your mail delivery by days, I was worried that the cookies would be completely stale! (I promise to make you fresh from the oven ones when you get a chance to visit) There's a package coming from my mom, don't know if you've gotten that one, she sent it a few days after me.

I hope you were able to find people to share the Halloween candy with ;-) The kids got a big kick out of sending it to you.

As for sympathy, you've got it from me, you KNOW how long I would have lasted in your situation (and how much whining I would have done!).

Thanks for the other posts/pictures, it's fun to see what's going on with you.

I know it's cliche, but hang in there!
xo, Ria

Heroes! I just watched the end of "Volume 2"... I am hooked. Maybe that means I am a nerd.

I dropped a card in the mail frmo me and Cori, hope it gets to you before Xmas. We miss you, and before you know it you'll be home.

Keep your head up! Love, Geoff
