“How’s your gorebull warming, how’s hubby!!”

Hey!

Its cold and icy and I missed work today because it was too dangerous to drive all that way! So that means at least a half day on my day off!

Hubby has cabin fever! But he can go out for moderate periods, usually up to the school to walk or to DQ for coffee and sometimes a sundae.

He’s slowly improving day by day. He’s still sleeping on the couch but he has reached the point where he can stretch out and feel like he can still breath.

He’s also cut the pain pills down to one every 4 hours instead of the two he was taking.

How’s things with you? :)

Good evening Randy!

Have been on a Carrier, but not a submarine. It’s definitely on the list of things I would like to do someday!

No rain here yet.

I hated that base LoL
I didnt have a car and I was assigned to the “transient” due to lack of space and I had to spend all my time with room mates that were being kicked out, which made it to where I was always having to snitch on them for drugs so I wouldnt get busted by association.

The seafood was good though and there are some nice places like Mystic.

When I got out of the service I went to work for a company based in New London

I know...5pm is official quitting time. Don’t they know I have pinging and posting to do? Jeez!! d:o)

I usually take a half hour to do some posting before going back to working on what I need to get done before going home.
