A day in the life of me...

  • Wake up next to Ryan at 5:45am, laugh and wrestle each other awake.
  • Drive in to work together, stop at Ralph's to get our morning coffee from Ralph, who always remembers our orders: Large Medium Mocca Java Blend for me, Medium Strong Kodiak for Ryan.
  • Get to the barracks and throw uniform in the dryer to get the wrinkles out (so I look presentable of course).
  • Spend the morning snacking on fruit, knitting (when I can!) and learning about computer networks.
  • Take lunch in my barracks room, watched the beginning of "10 Questions for the Dalai Lama".
  • Read morse code after lunch, continue to knit, snack, and learn about computer networks.
  • Went for 7km run with McAuley, my running buddy.
  • Eating hemp granola with organic yogurt!
  • Yoga teacher training until 8:30pm.
  • Find out where my man is, drive out to the house (or to pick his 'on leave' drunk bum up somewhere).


  • Life just doesn't get much sweeter than this. We are the epitome of non-stereotypical sailors. He has spent the day so far working on his Austin Mini ('79), making shoes out of old tires and canvas, and now he's roaming around the forest looking for an old mine shaft...

    Sometimes I just feel like the luckiest woman alive!
