First day back into a routine since Eric left. Nathan seems to be doing alright. The ususal whinings about showers and teeth brushing, but he's been pretty easy going about the new world order. He's still determined that we'll win that million dollars from McDonalds and either get Eric returned home or buy him a beach house.
I'm feeling better. Theraflu tastes nasty, but seems to get the job done.
Lessee, I guess I talked to Eric yesterday morning around 7, and this afternoon around 2. He's been able to talk to his sister a couple of times and left a message for his mom once. He should be where he's psuedo-permanently going to be stationed sometime in the next 24 hours. I know he's gotta be happy to get there, unpack and enjoy a little bit of privacy. (He's been staying in a large tent on a cot along with a bunch of other soldiers). I personally would have snapped with the lack of privacy.
I just found out today that I have yet another briefing with the CG (Commanding General) on Thursday at 6:00 p.m. Seriously? I've already sat through 3 other briefings with him. I doubt the mission has changed any in the past 2 weeks. And since my usual babysitter just deployed, I'm thinking childcare is gonna be a problem.....
If you want to mail a package to Eric, here are the postal service's guidelines:
