Last night I had a horrible time sleeping. I was up after 3:00am. I got really anxious and worried that something bad was going to happen overseas and I ended up crying myself to sleep. Apparently there was an earthquake in Indiana around that time, so maybe that was the bad thing. I don't know, but it's probably the worst I've gotten so far since my boyfriend has been gone.
It's tough... he and I both talk about how grateful we are that it is a short deployment every time we talk..
Today was his day off. It was pretty uneventful, and boring for him. Only thing to do is watch movies or do stuff on the computer. There's only so much "computing" that one can do I imagine.
I talked him into letting me send him a package. They are shutting down the mail system in a couple weeks so I have to finish getting it all together and send it out tomorrow. I picked up a couple hand held games today. I figure if he doesn't care for them, I'm sure someone will get some use out of them. They were pretty cheap so no biggie. I got a Tetris game, Battleship, and Poker. Just something that can help pass the time when things are slow.
He will be switching shifts in a couple days. We're not sure how that is all going to work, and when we'll be able to chat. I'm sure it will be another big adjustment for him as far as his sleep schedule. That has got to be tough. I know I am grumpy when I don't get enough sleep, and switching my sleep times around would not be pretty! I've actually worked third shift before though and really liked it...I'm more of a night owl anyway, but the transition can be exhausting!
My day was pretty busy. I was hoping since I didn't sleep well that I'd get a nap in but I was running errands all afternoon, and then promised my brother I would take him to a movie at 9:15pm...so it's been a long day!
Lack of sleep doesn't help my emotional status either... so on that note, I'm going to try and get some shut eye and start fresh tomorrow! Can't believe tomorrow is New Year's Eve already! ~Goodnight...
