Day 6

9 Oct. Had a very nice chat with Beanie today. She actually got to eat 3 hot meals today – first time since arrival. She said she leaves tomorrow evening with a direct flight from Ft Benning to Germany; probably a military charter of sorts. She has to have her duffel bags packed and out in front for formation around 0600 – typical. That will be the last time she’ll see her stuff for a while. She’ll need to keep all her criticals in her back pack until she gets to Kuwait and maybe Afghanistan. She called Mom & Dad today. Dad said it was another “tear fest” between Bean & Mom. Nice to see though. I found out I need to cut my trip to Michigan with Dad a couple days short to support a customer event in Virginia Beach on Nov 15. I hadn’t planned on getting there until the 17th. Kitties seem to be a little confused with the whole Beanie going away thing. I don’t get home until 6:30 or so and they seem to be wondering where the 4:30 to 6:30 kitty pets have gone. Between that and being home along while I am on travel, they’re going to have some adjusting to do.
