False alarm! My stepson did not leave for boot camp yesterday after all. I am not feeling overly confident about the Marines’ ability to schedule, plan, or coordinate much of anything right about now. His swearing-in was just like this too: hurry up! Get here NOW! It might start at 10 AM, it might start at 4 PM, but you better arrive around 7 AM and sit in an uncomfortable waiting room with no idea what is going on and no one willing to tell you. On second thought, might be today, might be tomorrow, hell, might be exactly forty-seven days from now, who knows?
If they can’t put together a competent ship-out to boot camp, how do they operate during a war? Maybe their tactical plan is to confuse, irritate, and discombobulate the enemy until they collapse of sheer exasperation.
My poor husband drove over 6 hours total yesterday for mostly nothing, then got up early and went right back to the processing station this morning. I got up early with him and hunted down an old, cheesy-but-wonderful workout called Cardio Boot Camp Live.
I adore Billy Blanks. Who doesn’t, right? I used to have the DVD’s from this workout set, and the resistance bands, but I don’t remember what ever happened to them. I used light weights instead of the bands this morning. So another morning workout in the bag for this week.
I’m still struggling with my eating habits, but I am just trying to do a little better each day. Which at this point is “not as horrific as yesterday”, but hey, it’s a start, right?
