It seems I have blogging spurts, I blog and blog and then I hit a dry spell. This has been one of those dry spells. Work is crazy, I've been working over time and weekends, I feel like all I have done lately is work! And whoever said bankers have the best hours clearly hasn't worked in the banking industry lately! I have new loan requests up to my ears, but I haven't even been able to look at them the last 2 months because of the mountain of reporting that is due on Monday! And then just when I get a break from reporting, and a few short weeks to work on new and renewed loans, then comes quarter end and a whole new mountain of reporting to tackle. Bummer!! The banking industry is not exactly fun right now, but I am learning a whole heck of a lot!
But lets be real, my writing muse has nothing to do with the fact that my job as a credit analyst has transformed into reports specialist. I think I'll attribute it to the sunny day on the beautiful central coast! And that I got to chat with Charlie today!
Beautiful days happen often here, but its been pretty dreary lately, cloudy, cold, bundle in a sweatshirt and jeans, no need for pedicures b/c wearing flip flops is not an option, kind of dreary. But today the sun shined so bright you could feel its warmth penetrating deep into your skin, and the winds held off almost all day. It was so perfect out that I wanted to spend all day outside! It persuaded me to get a pedicure and wear flip flops, and a t-shirt and jeans around down town. I shopped, and pampered myself a bit, and enjoyed the warm winter day!
And then to end such a beautiful day I got a phone call from Charlie! He's back at leatherneck for a little bit. He hasn't been there for over a month so he had lots and letters and packages waiting for him when he got there! We got pretty lucky this last month, he had internet where he was stationed at so we got to e-mail daily! It was pretty awesome. It so crazy to me how much stronger, how much closer we have become this deployment. Charlie and I talk about EVERYTHING. The little things, the big things, the things that scare us, the things that hold us back, the things that excite us, and the things we are looking forward to, absolutely everything. Neither one of us hold anything back, and I love that.
We are officially on the downhill side of this deployment!! 3 1/2 months down, 3 1/2 to go! There is so much change that will happen in the next three months, so much to look forward to, so much to be excited about!
