You do guilt entirely too well. And I’ve seen that look – in pictures but unnerving, nonetheless. I’m not sure I’d want to see it in person.

When Trooper was in the Army, it was day old KFC on the top of the tank during the “every other wknd”. He went to the Air Force reserves and called me his first day on the base with an urgent message.

“There are honest-to-God *shrimp* *cocktails* here!” he whispered. Later, he told me they were waited on by stewards with the napkin over the sleeve routine.

The difference is night an day, it’s true. He reckoned that spending a dozen years eating sand and swill was penance enough and he’d earned that shrimp cocktail. Still…he swallowed every bite with hesitation, well-aware of its price to others.

Get some rest, and fell better soon.

Hugs, sweetie.

I have a strong urge to smack the whiners, though.

Thanks for posting this and letting us know what you’re up to. I’m glad that you’re “taking a break” so to speak and getting some much needed rest.

I’ve been thinking about your own transition period. I recently received letters from 2 friends who have been stateside for over 3 months. I’ll share these with you as it gets closer to your return so you can get insight about this phase as it gets closer to your return.

Enjoy the veggies, fruit and juices!

As the kids were saying last night: Trick or treat, smell my feet, do u have something good to eat? If you don’t just beware, I will pull your underwear!
