First Day of Work, February 8, 2010

Had my first work day yesterday, and boy, is it going to be a wild ride…more on that later. I also got to take my first run on base yesterday. Yes, sea level made a difference--I ran 4 miles at just over a 10 minute pace (fast for me, especially considering the fact that my hips are killing me because of all the sitting the last week). And lastly…some of you might find this entertaining…I did my own laundry today. The lessons my husband gave me right before I left were perfect. It has probably been 15 years since I’ve had to do that!

I had to reconstruct parts of my email address book, and I may have missed some folks. Please feel free to forward. Thanks for all of your support. I don’t need anything—I can get everything I need at the Base Exchange. Also, they may be moving me to another base in a couple of weeks so there is no sense in sending a package. I’ll keep you posted. I’ve attached a picture of the base from my room.
