She likes the thick sliced turkey and kaiser rolls because of the light Tangy sauce they include with it .... and she also mentioned the Fajitas are really good.
I only talked to her very briefly in the 2 prior phone calls as I am usually outside working, and I texted her as such, so she spent all the time talking to my wife who is inside the house.
Anyway, yesterday morning I texted her and told her that I wanted to “
Hear her Voice”, plain and simple. (DW told me that the Plebes would have their phones for a much longer time yesterday.) She told me everything they were doing, and all of the challenges. She is loving it .... and I heard for the 1st time that she turned her ankle inward 2 weeks ago carrying the 150lb guy on her back — wife didn’t tell me because she and daughter didn’t want me to worry. It was a bad sprain and X-rays were negative. She is doing everything and the USNA doctor is monitoring it, although it is still swelling and hasn’t completely healed — They are limiting her if she tries to push too hard.
I can gauge how things are going down there by the Nuances in our conversation. I ask all kinds of questions, “
Lay-of-the-Land from a Distance” types of questions. She was surprisingly open. They are managing things very well down there. I feel really good about it.
I learned that her 1st roommate decided it wasn’t for her, and DORed. I am more sad than DD is. She said “
Dad, it happens”. I don’t know if it was during ROM or a little after, but she said some folks can’t take being yelled at .... Sigh.
.... We laughed a Lot in the hour that we spoke yesterday ... being shaken in the morning to blaring sounds of
Celtic Tribal Music, and besieged by the blaring Cacophony of
Rudyard Kipling’s “Boots” poem being read allowed in this 1915 loop recording — She’s taking it all in stride.
