• Busy, yet lazy, week

  January 21, 2024

  So much has happened this week. I got called out of nowhere to help a friend take care of their dog. Tilly is very sweet but she is huge. She seems like a great dane/dalmation mix. Smokey loves having a sister around. She does get very aggressive with her food. I had to tackle her…

• Distractions

  January 3, 2024

  I'm studying for the promotion board. But everyone likes to come in and distract me. They come in and want me to engage. Normally I wouldn't mind, but right now it's like, "Come on now. You see me reading somethin'. Get out of my face." In the office today not much was going on. Fixed…

• Jammed-Packed Day

  December 26, 2023

  Today was a pretty good day. Started with a nice walk with Smokes. He stopped pulling since I taught him how to heel. We went through a little bit of a wooded trail that he really enjoyed. Met up with Asher and his human afterwards. Smokey is too funny with other dogs. I went over…

• Merry Christmas, fellow diarists.

  December 25, 2023

  I ended up being sick for Christmas, but it was manageable. I set up a playdate for Smokey with a dog named Asher and his human. Smokey is so submissive! I was like, "HEY. DON'T BEND THE KNEE!". He knelt to every dog. And then he does the weird stuff of trying to lick other…

• First ACP Duty

  December 22, 2023

  I did my first ACP duty. Basically it just means I scan people's ID's to make sure they are okay to get on base. It was cold at a nice 35 degrees. I enjoyed it. It's always nice to see so many people smiling. My brain is wired to smile at anyone who smiles at…

• Godzilla Minus One!!!

  December 17, 2023

  Godzilla Minus One. This is now my favorite movie. I love the story, the acting, graphics, everything! This movie was amazing. Right now that I am in the military, it truly motivated me to be ready for anything. I will be learning Japanese because I want to be able to watch it in its native…

• Domestic Violence

  December 10, 2023

  What would you do if you happen upon screaming and hatred being spewed from your neighbors? I walked out of a friend's house just now and I heard hate coming from the first floor. It didn't sound like there was anything physical. But I am also not in that room. I hope they are both…

• Am I responsible enough?

  December 9, 2023

  I just got a dog on Monday. He is beautiful. He is a 10 month old purebred Border Collie that is grey, black, and white. He is an excellent cuddler. But he is mischievous and likes to get into food stuff. My spouse keeps telling me that I am not responsible enough. With a 17…

• First day back at work

  December 1, 2023

  After a three week block leave, I am back to work today. It was a pretty relaxing day. Had a little detail that required moving some crates around. I did notice that my run has slowed down. We had a five mile run for pt and I was breathing heavily. Uh. I get unfit and…
