I miss not spending this day with my family, but I am thankful that Bleu and Tausi made it up to Seattle to spend the holiday with Brigita and Indi. I just wish that I was there......... I am thankful for all the blessings this life has given me, especially my family.
We don’t celebrate
Thanksgiving today. We had our Thanksgiving dinner last Saturday. The galley
staff prepared an awesome meal with all the traditional fixings and we had our
first 2-day weekend. Unfortunately the weather was not very good so I spent it
running in the “Gerbil gym” and watching movies on my computer. I ran 10 miles
on the treadmill; it was a pretty boring 1 hour and 45 minutes. But I am on
track with my training program for the half marathon in January.

The clinic is getting busier, we currently averaging about
20 patients/day. Nobody that needed to be flown to New Zealand yet. I am
starting to think I am not going to do any transports at all this season. This
was not really what I expected about the job here. It feels very frustrating
and I am getting really bored here.

We just switched out our military flight nurse and
aeromedevac tech. Now we have a RN named Chris who is stationed on Okinawa and
Jay that is a reserve member from Oklahoma. They both seem to be very nice and
positive about being here. They will be here until beginning of January when
the last military group for this summer season is coming down here.
