Sea~

Once more, out in my favorite place in the world.. The Atlantic Ocean. Yay.

Ok, so I'm sarcastic, but oh well. I don't mind it as much as being over in the Gulf, but it's just building up slowly to that.

So, here's an update of recent events.

Thursday: Thanksgiving, and on duty. Didn't sleep that night because of being Duty Gunner's mate, and was all-around depressing.

Friday: Got off duty and went out for a little bit. Met up with a guy I work with, who just got off restriction at midnight. Hung out with him at the "Single Sailors" place for internets. Got underway, and was thankful that I had the 1730-2200 watch, since that meant I got a full night's sleep, and after Thursday night, it was welcome.

Today: Sitting on watch again(hurray 3 section. Just better than port and starboard, but not much.) and that's about it.

Tomorrow: Supposed to be pulling into Norfolk relatively early, and so I'm hoping to get off the ship, get more white T-shirts, since I was dumb and left them at the apartment. I also plan on getting a utility jacket patch so that mine doesn't label me as a third-class still. (Hurray laziness.)

And then hopefully, hopefully! Ryan will be home in the evening after a Thanksgiving trip he took to his girlfriend's in Baltimore. So hopefully I can see him tomorrow night. If not, we'll be there for two weeks.

John out.

Hope today is a good day for you. Meet up with an old friend and just relax.
