lemurs and crocodiles Calmly walking outside of work this morning, I decided that it was warm enough to get a haircut. Yesterday I wouldn't have been able to say the same thing. During the five minutes or so that it took to put gas in my car both of my ears went completely numb. That was not an experience that I want to repeat. Wearing a hat may have helped the situation, but I prefer to stay inside when the weather starts to hurt. ... Later this week my parents are driving to New York to see my sister again before she leaves for Kuwait next month. She'll be there for a few weeks and then on to the garden paradise known as Baghdad. As of now we have no idea how long she will be there or how much danger that will be for her. All that we can do is hope and wait. Seeing my sister has its pros and its cons for my parents. Obviously they love her and want to make sure that she is okay, but having to say goodbye over and over again gets hard for them. What finally made them decide to go besides the fact that this is family weekend at the fort is that my sister turns twenty-four on Sunday. |
