It's not as horrible as I remember it being . . . of course, when I was in the Army, it was standard to get up at 5:00 to be at Physical Training by 6:30. Except for that one summer when I was first dating
So, to meet Army physical training requirements and Air Force classroom requirements, we did our P.T. (all four of us) at 0400. Yep, you heard that right. Oh-frickin'-dark-o'clock.
Well, as i may have mentioned, I had just started dating
Luckily this course was only five months long. *grin*
And speaking of long days, I "only" put in 9.25 hours today and then put in a couple hours of writing afterward. I added 1037 words to Steel on Target's Chapter 17. Getting ready to pull the rug out from under my main character again. For some reason, he should really start getting suspicious of downtime. It seems like every time I give him time to breath, something horrible happens.
Yes, I am a mean author.
Between work and writing, Wish and I did go out to pick up something for the daughter-unit's B-day this weekend. We had to special order it (natch), but while we were out, I picked up two new DVDs. I snagged a copy of Kelly's Heroes, (an entirely too funny and surreal war movie), and a copy of The African Queen which has been released for the first time on DVD. It'll go into the rest of the Bogie collection.
But, since I am no longer as young as I was, I think getting more than three hours sleep tonight would be good. *grin*

You sound like you are back on track w/writing and posting... keep it up, dude. Your audience demands it.
Tell the daughter-unit "Happy Bday" from me .... my girlchild should be returning from Germany sometime around her bday (although, I think that will be more a gift for me than her... she is really loving it there).
Yeah, I'm not saying I'm 100% back on track, but I'm getting there.
And may I remind you that you were there when Wish and I started dating before you disappeared into the wilds of Arkansas. *grin*
