getting better all the time

haha how cliche are all the beatles lyrics? Anyway, i cant help it when i see the title of my blog on the top of the page as I consider what to title a post about how work/life don't actually suck as much as they did when I wrote that last post. And then why am I justifying myself, anyway? Bizarre.

So anyway, this is gonna be quick but i wanted to let those of you who are worrying about me know that things don't actually suck that much. Work sucks a lot, but then it's all right most of the time too. I'll be honest, I am looking forward to shore duty, but considering that I have to do this, I suppose it's better that I have a really challenging job where I work hard than if I had an easy job, didn't learn anything, and got bored all the time. Not sure where I got the perspective, perhaps just some reflection in the past few days, but it helps. Also I've managed to actually get a lot of work done lately. OH and i bought a car! I ended up getting the A4 (audi) that I drove just for kicks, but accidentally fell in love with. And since I work so much I dont really spend much money, I figured i could afford it. Plus I dont even have to be a success to get a raise next may, it's pretty much guaranteed. That's one nice thing about the navy. Anyway... it is "deep sea blue", manual, all wheel drive, sun roof, sweet sound system... pretty much all the extra shit that I dont need but that pretty much all the cars they get come with, so now that I'm over the fat check I had to write, I can't complain. And it is wonderfully fun to drive.

Finally, Theresa if you are reading this, I just want to let you know that I am currently wearing these silver ballet flats that I bought for like $5 and that are ridiculously comfortable, and now every time i wear of them i think of you and all your shiny shoes I used to steal.
