Elbow Grease

I'm pretty tired today. I got a call at 0520-ish to come into work early. We were double booked today, across the board, and I was expected to essentially run the clinic myself for the first time. It rained cats and dogs today, though, which always seems to make people forget what it is they should be doing. I love the rain- always have, and this is yet another reason to love it more. The panic and chaos hit this afternoon, and then some, but I had been running the clinic all day, so, by that point, my NCO was back, and I had it all figured out, even if other people's ways of doing things tend to get on my nerves just a teensy weensy little bit. Okay, so I'm kind of a control freak when it comes to my environment, so what? It may not make sense to everyone else, but, dammit, it works for me, and quit trying to fix what aint broke, people! Anywho, the boyfriend has 24 hr duty tonight, so I didn't get to see him on lunch, but managed to treat myself a little bit. After work, I hit the commissary, and bought plenty of food, but did a lot better job managing the whole food-groups thing. Never been much for that crap. If I started eating healthy right now, I'd just waste away. If I started exercising, well, I'd start eating like I used to, and people would be running for cover. I don't know how the Army figures it only takes 300 bucks a month to feed any given soldier. I love my food, man!
Ashton n I had dinner together, and it was back to work for him. I came home and scrubbed the floors. A little Ajax, a lot of scrubbing, and then bleach wipes. I've got some to finish tomorrow night, but I did a ton of work tonight, and, soon as I get my laundry out of the dryer (HA!) I need to be headed in the general direction of bed. I had a really hard time sleeping last night, more trouble falling asleep than I've had in ages. I think I need to establish a bedtime routine that I stick to, regardless of where I sleep. Time has never been a big deal, but the pre-bed routine is like a football player warming up before a game- it's gotta happen. I guess it's one of those control things, again. Anyway, above are some pictures of this evening's work.
