I am sitting out under the Bra right now - it is cool and breezy outside and it must be mexicali madness night because they are playing only hispanic music. But hey, my foot's a-tappin.
Today was a good day, although I can definitely start to feel the effects of being around people all the time. I felt the uncontrollable need to run away today and just hide in a closet somewhere. I am sure that it is good for me to be forced out of my comfort zone, but it is difficult for sure to be unable to escape people everywhere! ;-) They are all nice people, though, so it's all going to be ok.
I got notified today that I will have my first "DV" visit. General Newton, a 3-star general, will be visiting my facility on Thursday for a tour and I will be lunching with him and a group of folks beforehand. I am a bit nervous and my leadership keeps letting me know very very nicely that this is a "very important visit" and, to not make an ass of myself. I know I will do well, but since it's my first I am sure I will be tied up in knots on Thursday trying to ensure that everything is perfect. How we do on Thursday will help to ensure that our program continues at Al Udeid (and hopefully in the rest of the AOR) in the future. Wish me luck.
I guess I don't have much to say today except I miss and love you all. Time for sleep.
