Fruits and Nuts

Nnnnnnkay. Slacking a little. I was so traumatized by my recent close call with death by juice that I had to take a couple of days off from blogging. So I'm going to do my monthly "this is what I did last month" recap.

1. I went to the NCO (Noncomissioned Officer) of the Quarter Board and won. Jury is still out on whether that was because I'm good or the other guys were bad.

2. I cleaned my room so I could take a picture of it for my blog.

3. I finally got to talk to Kevin with a webacam!!!!!! It was really great to see his face after all these months.

4. I got new running shoes.

5. I went from being a student in the spin class to being the teacher...now I get a much better workout because everyone can see me and I can't slack.

6. As a result of #5, I now have a little bump on my calf that I am hoping is the little sprout of an actual calf muscle...a rare phenomemon among the Medley family (my brother used to say, "Hey Rach, Big Bird called...he says he wants his legs back.").

7. I'm off coffee completely, and only drink an average of two sugar-free Red Bulls a week. By the end of October I should be off caffeine for good!

8. Treated a real gunshot wound, and learned how to suture. Thank goodness there's no malpractice suits in the military...so we get to do all sorts of stuff that we couldn't even think about touching as a civilian. It's great!


Wow, I didn't even get to 10...I'll try to have a more interesting month in October.
