User blog:Kadjem/IC Journal Entry: Scarlett - Home Sweet Home

January 18, 2014 2330

Something I have had on the back burner for the last few weeks, finally came to fruition Friday. I closed on a house it Gretna, Nebraska. Can you believe it? I own property, 10 acres of ranch-type land, a house, an open-stalled heated barn, and three horses. Yeah, horses... Time to have Spirit or Airborne give me a crash course in Horse handling. Or, I suppose, I could Wild Bill out, and have him show me....

The 28 mile commute is longer than I wanted, but the privacy, the seclusion, and the beauty of the land was too much to pass up. I haven't told anyone yet, just took a few days leave, closed on Friday, and spent all day Friday and today shopping in Lincoln (So I didn't run into any Joes) and moving in. Of course, when I go back into work, I will have to tell a few people, and when I start disappearing, more people will notice, but who cares? No one ever said I had to live on base. Besides, If I hire someone I can trust to come in and feed the horses, I can always stay on base when needed.

I am so Tired, I am going to go to sleep now.
