Day 124: Puck's Day

I was supposed to go to Zumba this morning, but it didn't happen.  Eis took forever to fall asleep last night. I began trying to put her down at 2015 and she didn't go to sleep until midnight.  She did sleep until 0500, which was good.  I got her back down at 0530, but I couldn't get to sleep until 0630!  That meant I only had 45 minutes until I had to be up again to get ready to go.

There was no was I was going to be able to do that, so I decided that I'd push Eisley in the stroller around the street today, instead.

... That didn't happen either.

Eis woke up a couple times around 0730 and 0920, but I got her to sleep until 1120, so I got to sleep until 1120.  After nursing her and changing a few diapers, I came out into the kitchen and she "played" with Grammie and Dad.

Before I knew it, Ty was texting me!  We chatted about the Spur Ride that the guys are doing tomorrow.  I asked what that was and he said:

* 6 mile ruck march with 30lb pack and weapon in full uniform and body armor
* Events start at halfway point
* Event 1 - Tire flip. HEMMIT tire (200lbs), LMTV tire (100lbs), HMMV tire w/ rims (75lbs)
* Event 2 - HMMV Push: Uparmored HMMV for 100 yards
* Event 3 - Sandbag Toss: 50x 20lb sandbags from person to person to other side of the road
* Event 4 - 9 Line Medevac: Call in a medical helicopter using proper format to Army standard, then drag a 250lb person 100 yards on a medical skid
* Event 5 - Carry a 300lb German dude on a litter for 300 yards
* Event 6 - Reaction course: puzzle using wood plank and boxes to move people from one side of the road to the other
* Event 7 - Disassemble M9 and M4, then reassemble and shoot best 20 rounds at targets
* Then finish the rest of the road march

He said he did the course two days ago to validate it.  That and the fact that he's a commander and on his third deployment makes him a Senior Spur Holder.

Luckily, he had to be up early, so I got to squeeze in a shower before I took Puck to the vet.  I stopped by Starbucks on the way because I was craving a pumpkin spice frapp.  Once we got to PetsMart, we were there for an HOUR!  I had to wait for the blood they drew from Puck to clot so they could run the tests.  I stopped by HEB on the way home to grab groceries for dinner.

I made BBQ Beef for Grammie, which she loved!  Then I made a low calorie warm chocolate pudding for dessert (from scratch).  It was quite a delicious meal!

I am going to try to make it to Zumba tomorrow.  There's a 0940 class, so I'd be home in time for dad to leave to play golf.
