Crazy Week

The lovely jlc has reminded me that I need to update, and she is absolutely correct. All of you are hopefully aware by now of what transpired here on Thursday. By a twist of fate/bit of luck/divine miracle/whatever you would like to call it. Thursday was my day off and I was 30 miles away, instead of 2 blocks away. It has made for a rough couple of nights, as I am all alone in a house which creaks constantly, leading me to awaken multiple times per night. About the incident itself, I am unable to comment. As an employee, it has been made clear to me that I am not allowed to reveal information to news media or in blog posts. Believe me that as soon as I am able, I will be happy to talk about it, but right now, it could cost me my job. As far as I know, Michael and the other guys that he is with who are stationed here are unaware of what happened. They are kept pretty isolated. I thought that there was a chance that they would be allowed to contact their loved ones to ensure that they were safe, but evidently that was not the case as I have not heard from him since last Friday, before he began selection. I hope to goodness that he doesn't know, because the last thing that he needs right now is the distraction of being worried about me. Other than that, life is pretty normal. I was amazed by how quickly I fell back into the routine of being on my own. Sure, I felt sorry for myself the first couple of days, but after that, it was back to routine. We are now 1/3 of the way done. I made myself a long list of things to accomplish. So far, I've only managed to clean a bit and hang some more curtains. A lot has happened, and I have a lot that I want to tell him, but I only have a couple more weeks to wait.
