What To Do?

24.Jun.2006

A very common question being asked these days as we near our graduation date is what I’m going to do when I get home. A valid question and one that I’d most likely ask anyone returning from some form of isolation. In most cases I think everyone would have an answer in the shape of a significant other, a favorite bar, or some creature comfort at home. A culmination of joy that would make the past few months not seem so bad. My answer of late? I have no clue?! And I’m pretty sure it has been bothering me a lot more than the question askers.

Nothing seemed to really scream out as something I have direly missed for the last six months. There isn’t a special someone to greet me, a favorite haunt to pass the time away, although don’t get me wrong, I WILL be drinking my fair share of adult beverages, or a specific creature comfort that I’m dying for. I found this depressing and hoped something would surface before I got back.

Then it hit me last night while we were griping about the DFAC (dining facility) we eat at and how having the schedule we have, we really do get screwed. The variety is always nil and they usually run out of stuff before half the group has even made it through. But I digress. I want a tuna sandwich! Plain and simple. A lot of tuna, a bit of mayo and some lettuce and tomato on wheat, or better yet potato bread! That is something I have completely forgotten about and not seen since I left in January.

I’m telling you, it’s all about the simple things in life. :-)

  3. Ini – the 12″ skillet I never had? I do miss the griddle though!

    tk – you eat Army food for 6 months and see just how desensitizing it can be.

    I guess I should have said the first thing I want to do when I get home is have a tuna sandwich. Then go for a run (a REAL run) on the beach.
