30 May
My pay is screwed up. This is not any real surprise, because all our pay is screwed up. There are a number of things we are supposed to get which we are not. Those sorts of problem are trivial. Given enough time underpay will get paid.
No, I am getting too much money. The army seems to think I am married, and is paying me the allowance for being separated from my wife. Since I am not married, they will want the money back. It may be hard to get them to take it
when I tell them, so I will have to hang onto it, and use it to replace the money they will, someday, take out of my checks.
Tomorrow ought to be quiet. We have 2-3 (of four) vehicles heading south for the change of command. The best thing is the mail they should be bringing back with them. I have reports of boxes of books, packets of treats, and best of all
(though they are done sooner than the books) missives.
The bugs here are strange. Mosquitoes seem to not bother me much. But there is asmall fly (perhaps a type of mosquito, though I think not) with yellow wings and a vicious nip, which likes to bite me. The worst thing about the little bastardsis they attack at night, and for the longest time I thought myself to beimagining them, since I never saw any marks, and never felt one beneath my hand.
It was sitting reading a book (we have gotten some in, and I was glad to see"Watership Down" in a recent package. It was nice to have something to read onthe Chinook. It was better to have something I knew I would enjoy) when I
felt that same sharp pain, and saw one. If I can see them, they are easy to kill. When I can't see them, they survive.
Ah! Well.
