Packing

I finally feel better with my cold mostly all gone, the weather is below 100 degrees and there hasn't been any dust in a month. I understand that I might have had a bad attitude in my last post but I felt that I needed to let you guys know alittle bit of what I'm going thru here as I wait for my replacement to get here. But I prayed for guidance and wisdom to just let me not worry about things I can't control and to go on with my normal bubbly attitude. I think I have done ok in that respect.

My last few weeks here have been very busy with several congressmen and other VIPs. The entourage of these people are impressed with themselves. I love that I can stand toe to toe with them and let them know that you need to treat people better and you'll get better service for whatever you want. Honey and flies concept I think. But, it has been fun to talk with some high level folks in our government. I think things will continue to be busy up until the time I leave.

I started packing up my room today. I have so much stuff that I probably need another bag or so. I don't mind that I have dusty and dirty bags to put the stuff into as long as it all fits. I will probably be throwing stuff away when I get back because they are so dirty. And the dust will never come out of the stuff anyway. It's too far gone. My socks are clean but they have a brown hue to them, and my t-shirts are fading to purple. But it's nice to be packing stuff. Next project clean my hooch and release all of those dust bunnies.

Life in Iraq could have you living in a mud hut with a satellite dish on top like in the picture today. That is that.
