Last night, just a few minutes before I straggled to bed after my guard shift, I was told that we would probably get mail today. The convoy usually doesn't roll in until 1200 or 1300, but they showed up at 1000 today!
I still didn't get all my mail (what IS it with these guys?!), but I did get eleven packages!
I got chocolates that I gave to my team mates, and valentine's candy that I gave to the local national kids that work in the kitchen, and lots and lots of tea- some I kept, some I took to the mess hall for communal use, and I gave some bags to a couple of the 'terps. I also had hot sauce galore (yes!) and flavored coffee creamers, most of both which I took to the mess hall to share. (I did keep a couple of "special" bottles of hot sauce- including the El Yucateco- for myself.)
I'm sorry if I ever sound like I'm bitching, guys- I really have it pretty easy where I am. I don't have to march every day, I have a heater, and I even get hot food. I'm just delighted to get most of my mail...especially my power cord, so hopefully, I'll be able to use my own laptop again!
