Went to my room to change into workout clothes to do my weekly assessment, but fell asleep instead. Now it's the wee hours and I can't sleep.

Missed yoga. Not just in a sense that I did not make it to class, but I really miss it. Not as much as I miss Rachel and the girls though.

Mike,

That is a tough gig you have. Not the one of being where you are but the being away from your family. It makes you appreciate them that much more though. Are you in the military? or a civilian working there?

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!!

I bet you are just aching to get home!! I'm getting so excited for you, Rachel and the girls. Man!! I can't even imagine.

Hope you finally fell asleep.

Jefferey,

I'm a civilian, so I have it a lot better than most of the military guys out here. Safer and better accomodations.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too :)

Thanks Teena, I did go back to bed. I used my yoga skills to get back to sleep. Corpse pose :)

Ohhhh come on!!! You guys can't let him get away with this, he's a lazy bum and a wimp! What's all this "I missed yoga, fell asleep, I miss my girls" wa-wa-wah... Get up and get to work mister! :)

From montelepsy on Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 09:06:20

Wimp! Do wimps do yoga, go to spin class and have pedicures? I think not, missy. I'm going write what you said in my diary.

From Lucia on Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 09:08:31

Wait - I don't get it... so you did yoga? what do you mean you missed yoga? English por favor!

From montelepsy on Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 09:13:39

I did miss it yesterday, but I have done it in the past. I had to miss it because I had some very macho stuff scheduled. Too macho and umwimpy to mention in this forum.

Nice nap! Nice sentiment!!! :D

Hey Mike. Serious question here. What is the general opinion on the war from the soldiers? Are they hoping that Obama will pull all the troops out once he's official? Are they hoping he doesn't? Is it half and half?

From Kelli on Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 14:29:24

Sleep is good.

From Camille on Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 17:40:12

Mike - I think you probably needed that break! Sleep is definitely good (I totally agree with Kelli). A few more weeks, and you will be home with your girls!

"Do wimps... have pedicures? I think not, missy." I've been wondering how you pulled off running in "6-inch Heels."

What part of Cali do you get to go home to?

From kungfublonde on Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 19:42:03

Running in the heels is what ruins the pedicures!

Mike, sleep is good. But calling is better. :) I'm glad we got to talk for so long today (or yesterday, for you!)

Burt,

It's not half and half. Most of the folks out here are conservative and believe Obama will cause the apocolypse. I voted for him, but I hope he doesn't pull out the troops just yet. We still have a security situation and withdrawing would be a disaster. I do believe that we should take a less active role in the reconstruction effort though. Or a more active but different role. We should be teaching them how instead of doing it for them and they should be paying for it instead of us.

Fly,

Heels are for sashaying not running, silly!

From fly on the wall on Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 09:57:30

Sashaying? That explains why you only have 0.33 miles on your 6-inch Heels.

From montelepsy on Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 10:04:22

You have to start out slowly Fly. You can't just sashay are marathon right away.
