Late July

I've been really struggling with this job over here.  The hours are long, the system is complex and there are lots of issues that require a lot of attention to detail.  (Attention to detail is definitely not my strong suit.)  The good news it that I work with really nice people and I have some amazing bosses'. 

I haven't had much of a change to work on my hand quilting project.  I've decided that I can only take one class in the Fall.  So I'm delaying my masters classes until I get back home.  That's disappointing but it's a realistic decision. 

I've been here for almost a month, away from home for almost 5 weeks and I'm homesick.  I miss my husband, my cats, taking a shower without shoes and real toilet paper.  I've had to call friends and pull them away from work so I could vent.  But at least I have friends that I can do that with and they've done the same with me.  So that's been a blessing. 
I try to occasionally escape the office and sit and read or either be quite and watch the birds and enjoy the roses or grapevines that they have around camp.  I haven't figured out what type of bird this is but they're everywhere and they have a nice song. 
I hope everybody is doing well.  I miss ya'll!
