Ship life and religion

It's been crazy since I reported on Wednesday. I've been extremely tired when I get home, and its such a major adjustment for me. We're working long hours since we just got out of dry dock. It's kinda nice to actually have stuff to do... or at least see that there is stuff to do.

Hopefully before too long I can start working on my basic quals. I'm actually super excited about that. The people in my shop seem pretty cool, so I'm hoping that it stays that way. I'll need then to keep me sane on deployment, so lets hope they're not making me insane!

AH is on duty today and is staying on board his ship for the first time since they returned home. I really miss him being here. I don't like how empty the apartment feels without him. It's gonna be my first night sleeping alone too... I dunno how I'm gonna sleep tonight. I plan on jumping in the shower then curling up in bed with my book til I crash.

I'm other news, I feel a strong desire to start reading in my Asatru/Heathery/Norse research again. I'm really hoping maybe before too long I'll feel comfortable enough to start throwing some practicing in there. I feel super connected with everything I've read, and I hope that only continues to grow.

I feel the need to make my life more pagan/heathen/witchy. I miss my old alter, and having pagan things around me, even though I've evolved alot since my earlier Wicca influenced eclecticism. I definitely feel my current studies are heading down the path I'm meant to be on. There is so much that I want to learn about though! I need a decent library...
