coasting

Not much new to report at work (or otherwise).  I have just been coasting, waiting to go back to OKC for more training... Some people call it seasoning, I call it a vacation.  Not having to train (aka get yelled at for breathing the wrong way) or any of that crap that made me dread going to work on a daily basis.  Now, I don't mind. I know no matter what, it won't be as bad as what I went through the past 8 months! I also no longer feel like I have been dragged behind a semi for 150 miles when I get home after work.

My mom and brother (N8dog) came out for a few days this week.  It was good to see them! I hadn't seen them since I left home to go to training in OKC at the end of March 09.  They were shocked how much weight I've lost (close to 50#) We had a wicked thunderstorm Monday night, it was very lightning-y (yes, that is a meteorological term, I just coined it right now, haha.)  Here are some pics:

I have been watching a documentary, "When We Left Earth".  It is about the history of the US space program.  I am in love with it.  I've been watching it on Netflix watch instantly, but I may have to go out and buy it!  As a side note: I did not own a TV until this week (happy birthday from my mom! :)) for the whole time I've lived here.  Instead, I would watch anything I could on Netflix, DVD or Hulu, or I'd read, do puzzles, sew things...  It was a rough year, but I made it through.  Now I feel like I have to watch TV nonstop to make up for all the time I missed out! Well, not really, but I do find myself being sucked into the gravitational pull of the TV.
