TEXAS!!!!

K. Somethings from this past week.

- I can get used to anything. Even 115 degree weather.

- I love running so much that it doesn't matter that I sweat a disproportionate amount due to the high humidity and heat here.

- I have met some incredibly awesome people doing this job. Fun people with ironic views on life, gentle Sri Lankans with mad cooking skills, hilarious Vietnamese guys who have a crazy accent even though they were raised in Kansas, Mexicans who are interesting and funny and think that being stopped by the Border Patrol everytime they drive in South Texas is kind of hilarious.

- Night shifts really are not that bad.

- I miss real meals every once in awhile.

- I enjoy being places where I can see miles and miles and miles away.

- Rattlesnakes haunt my dreams, though I have yet to step on one while running down here.

- The internet can be an endless source of entertainment when we are circulating in an oil well for 4 hours.

- Stuff just happens, and I have no choice about it. Things break down, events happen faster or slower than I expect them, and a few days with a little bit of perspective help a lot.

- I smell like "oilfield" right now. Its kind of a musty, muddy, sweaty gross smell. And for some reason it really doesn't bother me. :)

- NUTELLA IS AMAZING. 'nuff said.

- I need to learn to ask more questions.

- I underestimate the genuine niceness of the men around me sometimes. I work with some of the sweetest husbands, fathers, boyfriends, and fiances of women who I have never met, but I know they are blessed.

- I am enjoying myself, 100 percent.

Love you. I hope your week is wonderful.
