they don't even have my laundry soap!

yesterday

as i was making my way through the commissary

i overheard a woman

say out load 

"they don't even have my laundry soap!"

and right then and there

i wanted 

to hug her

but i didn't

promise

there are certain 

'growing pains'

you come to expect when pcsing

learning new roads

making new friends

unpacking a lot of boxes

but

oconus

comes with its own set of growing pains

like trying to get the heat to work

oh how i miss natural gas!

getting use to {AFN}

wanna see the wonderful channel line up

click the link above!

this is what i call a commercial!

blowing breakers because you ran the 

{crazy washer and dryer} 

at the same time

yes folks, we have very limited wattage here...

you think {thomas edison} just brought his light bulb over last year

and

getting use to 

no walmart

target, crest or whatever your supermarket of choice is

you are stuck with what the bx or commissary has

or 

trying to find it on the economy

so 

when the sweet lady

stood staring at the laundry detergents

with an almost tear

streaming down here face

i got it

and even though

it is just laundry detergent

it was something you were use to

something you had somewhat control over

and 

now

you are facing so many new things

a new way to live

that

something as simple as your favorite laundry detergent

can bring you joy

or heartbreak

it's just another growing pain

of pcsing

and as a wise woman once told me

this too shall pass.

love from aviano!
