and shaking it to see what else falls out
 wrote this at 8:50 pm

Forgive me – I’ve been flying by lately trying to get ready for my very first class in Army esiliency-ray (pig latin), dealing with my 3rd MRI & my 2nd Neurologist…and between the constant trips back & forth to Seoul lately, I’m just entirely brain dead. So…in no particular order, here’s what’s been going on with me:

  • Had my 3rd MRI last week - and Mr. Wizard refused to tell me if I had more than 8 brain lesions - but the man had no problem telling me the first time around that I had ‘some-ting in my brain’.
  • Have had 3 rehearsals (one of which was today) up in Seoul getting ready to teach the senior leader spouses…and have 2 more to go.
  • I’m opening up day one & two of this four day course, pray for me.
  • The star count for that course is now at a 2, a 3, the current 4, the incoming 4…and they’ve decided to throw a Californian congresswoman in the mix just for the heck of it.
  • The demon-beast Paco, who lived next door, has finally PCS’d with his family – no more having to constantly keep Maggie away from him.
  • I’ll be up in Seoul all next week for the class.
  • I’ve got a 28 day running streak on my 750words.
  • Met the new Neurologist today & noticed he was a bit nervous or awkward for our first meeting…so there I sit, telling sarcastic jokes trying to make him feel at ease while I’m trying to figure just what the heck of spine scan in.
  • Oh yeah…got to have a spine scan next. They can’t  do it at 121, so I’ll be visiting the local Korean hospital for that one.
  • Turns out I still have 8 lesions in my brain…just not the same 8 as last time. Some have disappeared entirely, only to be replaced by new ones in other spots.
  • Eric got to tour the Cheonan today – the South Korean ship that was torpedoed by the North….lucky duck.
  • I’ve got cousins living in Japan that were fortunate not to be in the vicinity of the disaster, but who are now heading that way to help.
  • And oh yeah…at our FRG meeting tonight we were told that Humphrey’s will be processing 1700 inbound Americans from Japan – they may stay a day…they may stay a week…they may stay…???
  • So I’m hitting the commissary first thing tomorrow to stock up on toilet paper, dog food, milk, bread & cereal because they’ll be tapped out – and most likely so will Osan & they may even pull from Yongsan (guessing there).
  • And last but not least…I pointed out to our Colonel that if we’re bringing in 1700 people, odds are there’s at least one or two cats – probably closer to 500 cats & maybe 200 – 300 dogs. At which point his eyes widened & you could visibly see the light bulb go off over his head. He hadn’t thought about that one…that’s the problem with a logistics background…the details never stop popping into your head. Like script refills maxing out our resources, have they got the Chaplains, Behavioral Health & the MFLC already on stand by…see?…Never stops.

But I leave you with this parting shot…

a Korean moon-pie..a gift from the hubby for surviving my day.

    Saw Eric at the gym Friday. Phew….what a long day that one was. By now Eric will have told you where the pets will be. And, according to the USO director, food will be sent down from Yongsan Commissary. They are just waiting on the arrivals, if any do even come now that the reactors are all going back online (or whatever verbage they use). Please come by & tour the facility with me (or Eric) one day. They did a great job. Even stopped by the other locations & they are ready to go as well.

    You looked so energized when I saw you at the FRG meeting!!

    There is a lot going on in that pretty little head of yours. Hang in there, can’t wait to hear how it all goes. Much love,
