Brand New Day

It's Thursday, and this week's Friday, as we have a glorious 3-day weekend.
I'm in the clinic this morning, still working through all the chaos that ensued while I was in the field last week. I'm wondering if this clinic will ever be the same again, honestly. I'm told I'll be moving soon, but have yet to be given a date, and, honestly, I'm worried about this clinic once I leave it. This clinic has become mine, and I don't want to see it fall. Truth is, I'm not too excited about the thought of moving, either, but it's even less wanted when I think about the fact that all the work I've done in the 5 months since I came to this clinic could easily crumble once I leave. It's a heartbreaking thought. I've resigned myself to being happy no matter where I end up, as I have been moved frequently since I've been here in Korea, but, naturally, some places and situations are simply easier to be happy in. It tends to be that it's only once I settle into a place that I am at risk for being moved.
I am doing what I'm able to maintain my health and sanity. I work out more than I used to, and pay more attention to what I eat, and I'm finally learning to handle my emotions. It's no secret that I've always worn my heart on my sleeve, and that is something I've had to work on stifling a bit in the Army. I'm always going to be a very honest, open person- some qualities just refuse to fade into oblivion- but some things just aren't recieved well, especially amongst the military crowd.
I'm going to attempt to budget myself a little better than I have been this paycheck. I don't know what's about to happen with my life or living situation, but I refuse to be caught unprepared.
