Alter-Ego???
Something recently caught my attention. For the past year and a half or so people that I meet or am acquainted with believe that I am married and are surprised when they find out that I am not. This slightly baffles me because I am not sure what I do that gives off a 'married' vibe. Maybe this is the root of all my lack of dating. I asked some friends why people may think that way and they say it's because I seem wise for my age. That makes me laugh but I am still confused what I do exactly to exude the married persona.

Flu Shots
It was first on the order of business. Flu shots. Free flu shots. They lined us up in no particular fashion, my platoon was first. once they got started it was rolling pretty fast. I stepped up, stated my name to be checked off a roster saying that I did this (they are making sure everybody does) and i de-bloused and rolled up my left sleeve.
"Have you had bad reactions to flu shots before?" stated the captain rather non-descript.
"no sir"
"have you had a fever in the last 24 hours?"
"no sir"
came the reply and with an attitude like he had been doing this the last 24 hours he summarily stuck me with the needle. Just another soldier in the life of the day of this doctor. It didn't really hurt at all when it was first inserted but he wasted no time injecting me with the virus, which ended quickly and kinda hurt towards the end. a bit of blood was running down my arm and I was a bit sore but I survived the shot. I put my blouse back on and continued with the day.
I enjoyed the weekend. Being home was really nice because for some reason I felt like a kid again. I half expected dillon and mckay to come up to do something. Maybe it was where I slept. It had been a very long time since the last time I slept in that room. It was rather nice and relaxing. I have good memories of the days when alot of people occupied the upstairs. At one point we were all up there except for Lincoln. That was fun. But I have no idea how it was done now that I think about it.
I do love fall.
The semester is a little over half way over. I still think it's amazing how quickly it's going. Hopefully I can keep up.
By the way, my arm is still rather sore from the shot yesterday
