2nd letter of 9-15-9

Hi again. J okay so it’s the end of the day, almost and I don’t want to start in on anything else. Mostly cause it suddenly out of nowhere got hot. I was just minding my own business having a nice refreshing day and boom it hits me. Heat. Rays of Heat. I’ve moved on to N202 this afternoon and you know how it has no shade. Blinds were all open so it was just plain cooking in here all afternoon. I’m wishing I had a popcicle of something cold. I’m sitting on the floor in the bedroom with the window open. I think it’s the coolest spot. I was thinking just now, that I haven’t had a nice nap in an apartment in a while J. But honestly, I’ve been too busy and the carpets haven’t been all that desirable to lay on. Though I have to admit to laying on some pretty dirty floors to work on something. A lot of times when I sleep on the floor. I wake up and find myself to be all stuffed up from all the dust and whatever’s in the carpet. I haven’t had to turn this apartment since 2002. I know you’re now thinking “how does she remember that?” I don’t or didn’t. I just know that its been several years and on the wall behind the front door he (the resident) kept track of his 2 kids heights. The first one is from July 18th, 2002. but anyways I have to do blinds, light fixtures, a sink and 2 faucets. To give it all its up dates plus all the outlets need to be done. Yes I know outlets, remember how you used to do them for me? That was fun. J Too bad you couldn’t work with me. Scarecrow is always breaking stuff. Joseph and I think he dropped a brand new out of the box washer last weekend. He claims it happened after he took it back out of an apartment cause when he put it in, water started running out of it. Sometimes I wonder if he break so much stuff to get out of doing something in the future cause we’d be afraid he’d break it again. Already Joseph has been going installs when Keith should be doing it. Joseph is gonna mess up he back again or knees. Anywho. I think about you all the time and wonder at what you may be doing right now. Your time is 8:15 so you must be finished up for the day unless you have a watch. You could even be writing a letter or something pretty cool like that. When you get to Ft. Campbell, you will only be 2 hours ahead of me. I’m glad you will be going there or meet up with a few buddies you already know. Hopefully soon afterwards or when you get there you will be billeted in the dorms instead of barracks, that would be very nice and probably a lot quieter. You won’t be hearing a bunch of guys farting or snoring or making up crap stories about their own awesomeness. J . It would probably smell a lot better too. Haha. . so that’s definitely something to look forward to. Soon you will be at your half way point of boot. The remaining time will go by fast though I’m sure you will have your moments where it feels like it is dragging along. But getting there is the fun part. It is easy to imagine that most of the stuff your doing, you actually like to do. Though getting up so early in the morning isn’t the greatest thing ever. I think that you will get used to it. You got stuff to do everyday and don’t have to complain about being bored so much. The only real drag is a few of the people in your barracks. But luckily most of the time you should be able to ignore them and get on with your day. Well I now have the lovely opportunity to go cycle the compactor a finally time today. I love you so much and I am as always very proud of you. I miss you bunches and bunches.

Love Always

Mom
