Day Eighteen.

Wednesday, January 5, 2011

There was an issue with the blog page last night so I had to write my post in Word and save it to post….

Today was a long day.  I did get some sleep last night, about 5 or 6 hours (Tuesday night) and got up early this morning ready to tackle the world!  I unpacked some more of my stuff that I hadn’t unpacked from my trip home. I still have some clothes in a suitcase, but not really in a hurry to get to that. I did some laundry and organized a little. I was ready and waiting for my soldier’s call around 11:30am so I tried to stay close to the computer.  I did some job searching and applied for a couple. Paid some bills, made some phone calls…. Then 2:00pm rolled around and still no call or email. At this point my mind begins to wander a bit. 

I know that he was going to try and call from the MWR today, so that could have delayed him some by either having to walk there or to wait for a computer. I decided to just type an email and let him know about my previous evening and day today. By the time I was concluding my email, I received an email from him. He was at the MWR but was going to have to chat with me via facebook. The internet in his Chu was not working either. So who knows what tomorrow will bring. 

He was off work tonight. I was hoping we might be able to chat this evening, but he might be too tired, and the internet might not be working and depends on when his roommates were sleeping, etc.

I felt bad for him because there really wasn’t much for him to do.  Since he’s on the night shift, and his roomies are on days, he can’t exactly do much in the Chu. He could basically just hang out at the MWR and watch t.v. and get on the shared computers when available. 

He had to walk around a lot after work. Had to go to medical to see if he needed a booster vaccine, which he didn’t, and then to the finance center to again try and get his eagle card to work, which they didn’t fix. So he walked miles around base after being tired from work for no reason pretty much, and now has to find a way to kill time on his day off. I know it has to be so boring and frustrating. At least work for him last night went quickly and he had interesting things to do. 

I miss him so much. I just can’t wait for March to roll around!!! I wish I could somehow fast forward, or figure out how to make the time go faster. I’m trying to stay busy and applying for part-time jobs, so hope that’ll help. It’s just taking me a few days to get back into the swing of things here and get focused.

My head is a little cloudy this evening, lots of thoughts.. going to try and catch some Z’s!
