Hi Mom. I had to stop yesterday to go do PT. Then I got a good night’s sleep. My platoon is on the 8PM-8AM shift, and I had spent the last 4 nights on the 2AM-8AM shift, so I was pretty tired. I was off last night, but I have to work that shift tonight and tomorrow night, then my platoon changes over to a different shift. I’ll be glad - I had forgotten how much I hated midnight shift!

Right now, I am doing my laundry. We only have one machine that works, so it may take awhile since I have 3 loads. I know it sounds like alot, but actually, it’s because these washers have a very small capacity. If you put just one uniform in, it is already ¾ full! But I will use this time for writing letters.
