This is the schedule I've been living by for the past 5 weeks. Which I'm pretty sure is why I'm feeling very tired, sore and worn out. 0430 - wakeup, shower (if there is water to do so), shave and brush teeth. 0530 - do routine maintenance checks on my 5 ton dump truck. 0630 (yes is takes roughly an hour to do maintenance checks) - Leave for a 2 hour drive into Iraq 0830 - usually the time we arrive at the job site. 0830/1200 - Work work work 1200 - 15 minutes for lunch 1215 - work work work 1700 (or 5 pm for all non-military readers) - Start the drive back to camp. 1900 (7pm) - wait in insanely long line for really shitty food containing a handfull of hairs and insect parts. (if I could stop eating altogether, I would). After dinner I try to just crash, My energy is running on E (for empty, sorry no drugs out here in the middle east) I havent written any letters in almost a month, I feel so horrible. Kate, I love you to death I just cant keep my eyes open at the end of the day. Phone usage is extremely limited lately, either I dont have time to make the call or the phones are down. I live this schedule 7 days a week. I'll try to get on here and write another entry at some point. Good night, I'm going to bed.
