finally

IT'S HOMECOMING DAYYYYY!

it could be worse...

you'd think that when you got to HAWAII, it'd be awesome. apparently not for me. first, i wake up at 6:30 AM. wtf. then it's storming outside...raining, i mean, pouring rain, thunder, lightening...oh and i have to WALK to get docs car. so i lay around, shower, get ready, and finally about 9:00 am i decide to venture out and find his car. i go to the place i thought it would be...clear at the back of the base, and of course, they tell me that i need to go somewhere else...so i go there, and they tell me they don't deal with cars, so i need to go to PMO. so i walk there, and i sit down, and then i find out that stupid ass 2/3 has their own lot. so i have to walk over there to find out that i have to call someone...well they tell me where to go, and mind you, it's still sprinkling this whole time, so i'm kinda damp. while i'm walking to the regiment, it starts pouring down rain, and in 30 seconds flat i'm soaked. some super nice guy decides to roll down his window and ask where i'm going, and gives me a ride to regiment. so i finally get there, i get the keys in my hand, and they tell me i have to go back to the place i was just at. so i start walking again, and once again, it pours. somehow i got lucky again, and some super nice guy takes me back to where i needed to go. the guy who i'm meeting pulls up and the search for doc's car is on. of course, it's clear back in the corner, with the grass all grown around it...give the man the keys, and wouldn't ya know, it doesn't start. so after givin it a jump, it starts and i'm on my way. sorta. i decide it's a smart idea to drive around base for about 30 minutes. it's now 10:30 am, and i decided i needed to make sure i could have a place to stay for the night. so i go back to the lodge, stop the car (like any normal human), and pay for another night. oh buy my luck has run out somewhere, and the car doesn't start. so i ask for a jump and go straight to firestone. they fit me in for a new battery in less than an hour, and i was on my way. the whole morning i was in wet, cold clothes. the second guy who jumped my car said 'its okay, it could be worse' and i wanted to scream at him, but i realized he was right...so i took a deeeeep breath and said 'yeah, you're right, it could.'
i just sigh because i know life could be worse....but i've had my fair share of bad. lots of let downs, lots of heartache. but in less than TWO weeks, it'll be MY turn. doc is finally coming home. FINALLY.
oh, as for the rest of my day, people at walmart are so rude, and i was stupid enough to venture off base while it was raining...never doing that again.
