So... I was putting lotion on my feet, and as I was cleaning between my toes, my toenail fell off my middle toenail on my right foot. It just came off, held on by a thread.. I just pulled it compleatly off. There seems to be new nail growing under.. strage.
The last time that happened was with my finger after I smashed it as a child. I wonder if I had trama to the toe and didn't realize ( or remember ) it.

Winter Driving in Oklahoma
Perhaps its a blessing that I come from California and hence, I have never been forced to drive in snow, or at least fresh snow. Today however, has probably been my second time that I have ever needed to drive in these conditions, and I was frightened like no other. I was probably going slower than some old folks in their Cadillac (or whatever analogy you want to use). Everyone else on the other hand was trying to drive like it was just light rain or fog, a little bit slower with the lights on, but still right on my tail and swerving in and out of traffic. I saw about 10 wrecks on the 15 miles of highway I needed to drive to get home. I saw twi ce as many vehicles lose control because they were going too fast and try to swerve or brake to avoid an accident.
driving in snow = dangerous
driving in snow = dangerous

Back to the OKC
I head home on Wednesday. I am excited to get to sleep in my bed again, thats about the only thing that excites me when I think about going back. That, and the fact that I don't have to work here anymore. All I can really say is that my adjustment to this job has not been an easy one.
It would seem that Oklahoma City has been through some severe ice storms which have downed some power lines and caused massive power grid issues over the last few weeks. I don't know if I have power or not. So, I may be going home to a dark and cold apartment.
The last few weeks have brought out an overwhelming roller coaster of emotions for me. Joy, excitment, anger, frustration, and confusion are only a few of the emotions that I have endured over the last few weeks working in Lompoc.
The last six years of my life, I have been under the rule that hard work brings more hard work, but praises and respect along with that. It would appear now that hard work only brings grief now. I think the thing is, in the last three weeks, I have figured out what the system does, how it operates, and identified certian flaws in the design the lead engineer drew up. Lets just put it this way, when I mention any flaws, I was quickly shot down and told "IT WILL WORK"! (BTW, it didn't and my solution worked). Quickly after that, I was assigned basic tasks that required little troubleshooting and creative thinking skills. Is it that he just really needed someone to take care of those things? or could it be that he didn't want some punk kid who just started with the company to outshine him. I'll stick with the idea that he really needed someone to bundle cables in ten, but it would be really beneficial for me to learn the system better and maybe I can figure some things out.
Last week I went to San Francisco and I fell in love with it again. The last time I was there was almost 10 years ago, when I went to visit my friend Shao when she was up at UC Davis. I used to go all the time with my dad whenever my relatives from Houstin came to visit grandma up there. So, when my father passed away, I stopped going to San Francisco and when I joined the military the idea of going north was a mute point. I don't know what it is about the area, my cousin says its the weather, I agree but there must be something else. The crowdedness, the traffic, and just the way the people are just make me feel at home, but yet its definitally not the same at home feeling when I am in Southern California.
When driving past the San Jose area, I saw all the high tech industries I decided that I am going to make a valient effort to get me a job out there. I know the cost of living out there is high, but I think that I can defiinitally command a six figure salary with my experiences and education for that area.

Fast Food
I haven't exercised in over a month. My trip to Cali has been a food fest as it always is. This last week, I have been living out of a hotel room, with only some tortillas, cheese, and some frozen dinners in my room. I really haven't touched it. It has been fast food all week long for lunch and diner. Something has to change, and it has to change quick. I feel unhealthy right now. I go to work at 7 and I come home at 10 at night. What can I do?
