Saturday 06 MAR 10

It's crazy that I finally have a night off and I don't know what to do with it. I have been working so much lately that I feel the need to squeeze every second for what its worth. Duty yesterday and staying on the ship freed up the rest of the weekend. I got a good night's sleep and was up with the sun. Normally I come home and go back to sleep. It usually takes up most of the day to catch up on the sleep that I have missed out on the rest of the week. For some reason this morning I felt fresh. The weather is finally starting to turn my way. I spent the majority of the morning outside on the porch reading. Before lunch I got in a good workout which hasn't happened in too long. The afternoon found me on the couch sleeping/watching a movie.

And now at 7 PM on a Saturday night, I do not know what to do with myself. I am sure that I will go out tonight but not til later and now I am left with three open hours. Back in Madison I would be hanging out with the boys, watching a movie, or playing video games. Who knows, maybe I would have a date. But down here, there is none of that. Matthew and I still have a lot of fun, but we each have our own thing that we do. There are a few people at work that I hang out with, but there is really not too much time. I understand that this is a new phase in my life, but it is hard to adjust. I am used to having a huge social circle and lots of time. I have neither here. I am growing up and getting old, but I won't really change, not that much. I guess I miss my family and my old friends, and my old life. This is good though, and it keeps getting better. If anyone wants to visit though, I would love it.
