Visiting Lala @ Work

Yup, the title says it all. I drove in to visit my girl @ work and to bring her a toasted tuna fish sandwich for a small dinner.

Today has been a pretty good day so far. I went to church this morning and was able to say hello to a bunch of local friends. We also celebrated the news of the birth of a new baby for a couple in our small group... really exciting!

After church I drove home to change and grab the shovel because I was off to volunteer near the condo where Lala and I used to live. The community is putting in a garden and our small group is volunteering to work a plot and donate all the fruit and veggies grown there to a food bank. We are still in the early stages if the garden so today we laid out cardboard on top of the tilled ground where we had already placed some kind of lye and other natural fertilizer then on top of the cardboard we placed compost from the city's stash of people's yard waste. The compost was steaming showing us that it was still working so we'll let that sit on top of the cardboard for a week then lay the topsoil down next week so we can begin planting within the next few weeks. lots of fun.

tomorrow I finally get to go in and sit in a class full of Cat-Others (a special Category of higher-up individuals than myself going through the FRS [Fleet Replacement Squadron] that require less training to get qualified in the jet). This basically means I'll be going through a shorter syllabus to get done faster as I've already done the academics portion of the training about a year ago. I'll also start going through the simulator events again on an abbreviated scale so I can get back to flying as soon as I am med-up come May 5th or so. Awesomeness is an understatement for my feelings right now but it will be hard work as I prepare to get myself back in the jet again. I'm expecting long hours and lots of stress for the next few weeks but it'll be well worth it to be back up in the air again.
