only a couple of hours left
11 years ago
I have been up for the past couple of hours and still can't sleep. Knowing that I'll get to leave for back home again in 29 more hours from this six month deployment seems to be keeping me awake. I've been staring at the A/C unit above my window for the past hour trying to figure out what to do. Images of my friends and family keep popping into my head and the thought of my g/f is there too. This has to be the longest two days in my life honestly. I'm so close to coming home but it feels so far away at the same time. The annoying part is that once I get to the states, I still won't be able to see any of my family or g/f until a couple of days later since I'll need to in-process the base again and take care of some medical stuff. I wish I had some family or something waiting for me at the airport when I arrive but I know that won't happen. I don't really know why I'm even writing a journal about this moment either. I guess I'm doing it to pass the time. Either way, if you took the time to read this, than thank you and I'm sorry to have wasted your time. XD

Glad to hear that you'll be on your way home to see your family again soon, and it's very understandable why you are feeling restless right now.
