When Did I Ever Have Such A Great Nights Sleep?

I appreciate good sleep just as much as I loath bad sleep, and last night was GREAT!

My personal sleeping pill.

AND IT'S ALL THANKS TO JAMES BEING BACK IN CHICAGO! Yes, James arrived last night pretty late, but I felt so amazingly peaceful once we were together again that I had the best nights sleep ever.

So his schedule for today is/was:

• James goes to the recruiter office to talk to the Officer.
• James has his appointment for tomorrow at MEPS confirmed.
• Tonight James will stay at a hotel.
• Tomorrow morning, James will go and get his MEPS stuff finished.
• Hopefully from that, we get offered the contract right away Thursday.

I'm in my optimistic zone right now, and I know James is all good to get passed.

Look how good I look after sleep!

So tonight I have to go and buy NEW pants for my costume because the ones I got are too big on me and look funny with the corset over them. I'm already going out with my mom to her physical therapy after work, so it's on the way. Busy days leading up to C2E2, but I'm expecting good news all around! Wish my husband luck!

When Did I Get Such a Weird Gecko?

This is Kakushi. His name means 'hidden' in Japanese. He's a Leopard Gecko. 

We've had him a little more than half a year now. His favorite place to sleep is inside this decorative version of a Japanese Stone Lantern. In the beginning, with Kakushi being so small, I wasn't worried about him getting in or out. Now, he's grown a bit. Mind you, he can fit inside it perfectly, he just chose this particular time to stick his head out while sleeping. We have 3 other Leopard Geckos, but they are female, so Kakushi has a bachelor pad of sorts.

In unrelated news, my husband James went into the recruiter office today for some measuring. Tomorrow (His birthday) he'll stay at a hotel, and Thursday morning he'll get his official physical. Then if everything checks out, he'll be able to sign a contract the same day. Big progress!
