Day 7 of Leave

YAY!!! WE SURVIVED!!!!

Of course. Derp.

Now when I have great grandchildren, I'll show them the movie "2012" with John Cusack in it and tell them, "I survived that."

Boom.

;)

I'm at home right now after waiting in my car for 4 hours at the Marine core building. I drove like a demented driver who didn't care about anyones lives on the road because we were almost late getting there. Mason had to be there at 3. I missed the turn, had to U it, drove almost 80 AAAALL the way down to South Center and MADE IT... at 3 o'clock sharp. I thanked my mom for sharing her "crazy lady" driving genes.

Why did Mason have to stay for 4 EXTRA hours? Well, Hal was 30 minutes late... The staff SGT didn't like that very much, scorned at him for about 25 minutes, called up SGT. Nelson (who recruited them) and Nelson gave Hal a punishment by having him write a 1,000 word essay based on being punctual or... something like that. Mason couldn't leave since... they're "battle buddies". He told me to go home multiple times but I kept saying, "No." I don't know; lately I've been feeling the need to be with him no matter what - even if it means I'm waiting in a freezing car for 4 hours where I could have easily drove home, came back when he was done, and drove us back home. However, I made the choice to stay. I didn't want Mason to deal with that crappy situation on his own (He did have Hal but... still!).

I got dinner for Mason and I at McDonalds (which was an easy minute away from where I was parked), ate my dinner, slept, turned on the car every hour for 10 minutes of heat, then slept/rested some more. Until Mason was finally finished. We hurried to his house, I watched The Office with Moira for an hour as Mason packed up his things (we're leaving for Oregon tomorrow morning via train), and now we're at my place :D Mason is able to spend the night (his second time) and once I am done with this post, I'll fix my LBP problem and we'll play it! Whoot!
