A better day
Jul. 29th, 2006 10:31 pmI've calmed down considerably since Wednesday, having Friday to be depressed and mope and get everything out of my system.
The shift today was very, very relaxed, hardly any happenings and everyone seemed to be quite cheery, including
hagar_972, who was still in pain, but was dealing a whole lot better today, most likely because the stress level was of the lowest we've had since the beginning of the Situation.
I'm going to be doing double shifts this week (four consecutive shifts without a 24 hour break between them), because I have an appointment I have to keep and I made it before my miluim was activated, so Hagar and I had to do a switchroo in order to no screw over Yaron (the other guy who does day shifts with us), so it ended up that I'll do four consecutive days, giving Hagar 48 hours of R & R, which she really needs, since she is more physically affected by the stress that I and she's been on active reserve since the first day of the fighting so it works well for everyone.
Hagar's Mother embarrassed me again, thanking me for letting Hagar rest, blush much? But seriously I need to keep this appointment and Hagar seriously needs to rest, so what harm is there? Plus, as I said today was pretty good, with not that many missiles falling in the north and Nassrallah looking like he hasn't slept a wink in the night(s). Today Nassrallah delivered a speech - I only got the soundbites, since the News I watch at the Army is without sound, so I only get to read the snippets, and let me tell you, he does not look like the great, smiling Shi'ite leader he looked like a couple of weeks ago.
He is so not the boogyman anymore for me, he's just a man, a pretty sad one as well, maybe it's just the peak, that's come from the bottom, but I feel really confidant about the way things are going. I won't go so far as to say optimistic, but I feel I am able to do double shifts for a friend and that's not how I felt yesterday.
