After getting back from Gamberi there hasn't been much going on aside from the day to day as far as my adventures in Afghanistan. However I've traded those little adventures for some down time enjoying my Christmas presents and hanging out. The brigades are changing over so there are a lot of people running around and most are not happy about being here. Those that are going home just want to get out of here and those that just got here, it's all still sinking in. I haven't enjoyed the company of most except for my friend Zaki. He always seems to be happy.
I got to talk to Sari for a long time on Skype on Christmas eve and that was great. She loves her grandma so much and has so much fun with her. She sang me some songs and ran around the room as if high on sugar. I also talked to my mom, brother and niece. I opened my gifts from my mom and aunt. I also received lots of treats from my office which served as comfort food.
Now its time to throw the comfort food away and look forward to next year. My number one goal is just to get home alive and in one healthy functioning piece. Everything else is second to that. I want to commit to all the standard New Years resolutions like losing weight, improving my health and other improvements on my life. I really want to make it as a writer so I will work on that too.
Lately I haven't been wanting to write because I feel like I'm repeating myself or nobody really cares what I have to say but it's just a phase. I know I'll get the writer in me to wake up. Maybe she's just very tired right now and a little overwhelmed.
