Back in Deutchland.
Strange... as of now, it does not seem as though I have been away for the last couple of months... I do not not know if I have yet to "transition" or if I am already "transitioned" back into normalcy. I was thinking earlier that FOB Falcon may have been the point of transition for my mental state: we were out of the fight for about a month with the exception of a few convoys I took part in. During that time, I had time to adjust to a more relaxed atmosphere, and also got fairly decent sleep. I have yet to have any "episodes" since I've been back except for my doorbell scared the fuck out of me a couple of hours ago... Now, I am just planning on what to do with my free time in the next couple of days.
I've kept to myself the 2 days I have been back so far- so maybe I may discover some more things about myself as the rest of the unit redeploys back to Baumholder and there are more people to talk with and hang around with... I am also anticipating going back home, which will show how I may have changed... or if I have changed at all. Maybe it will be a few weeks, months, or years... who knows.

In other news, my Hookah arrived via mail today (I bought one in Kuwait)- It is a very nice looking one in my opinion- and I also tested it out with this awsome Arab tobacco I bought over there... think I may have found another expensive hobby to pass the time. I think I am going to name her Juliet...
I also threw down some Euros on my first original oil painting by a German Artist named Baumgart, primarily a landscape artist. The painting is called "Autum":
