Day Three.

So it's day three. Only ?? days left to go! This morning I had an email from him. It was nice to have some kind of contact. He didn't have a lot to report really. I was worried about spending the money on my car to get it looked at and fixed if needed, but of course he told me not to worry about it.

I had to force myself to get motivated to do things today. It doesn't help that it is SO cold and snowy here.
But within a span of about 4 hours I had my car in, and serviced and it wasn't too much of a dent in the bank account. At least I'll have some peace of mind driving back to Kansas.

I am feeling like a bit of a scrooge and kinda wish I could just skip Christmas. I am not sure how much celebrating I feel like doing. I know it is probably good for me to be around people but I'm not really looking forward to it at the moment. I don't feel depressed really, just indifferent maybe?

It is still early in the evening. I am debating on driving across town to visit a friend for a couple hours tonight. Otherwise, I'll probably be stirring in my skin and thinking too much.

I really hope to be able to chat with him again soon.  I saw on facebook where a soldier in another unit posted something about my soldier's unit flying to Iraq - so it sounds like they are in transit. Updates to follow as usual...
