Day Thirty-Three.

Thursday, January 20, 2011

I actually forgot about writing today until now! It's now officially my birthday!

I stayed busy today. I had class and then applied for a job then had dinner and painted this evening.

Talked to my soldier today via video chat. He had a lot to talk about today!
They had their "pre-inspection" today and it went well. They just had to dust/clean the top of their florescent lights to get ready for the official inspection tomorrow.

Last night he worked at one of the "shops" because their "SPAM" which was a lot smaller workshop is closed down now. They had some 50-cals to clean and send off to get fixed. They had to review the logbooks and see what little things needed to be done and fixed. He said he got to work on a radio and talk to the tower, which he thought was pretty cool. He talked about some other things he got to work on too. They stayed pretty busy, so the night went fast.

He was saying he needed to get a haircut and go to the PX. I imagine he'll be doing that after his shift tonight. (which actually is right about now)

The delay is still pretty bad on our Skype connection. We tried oovoo again the other day to see if it was any better, but the audio was much worse. So we are stuck dealing with the delay for now until it gets better. He found out some other details about the shooting that he shared with me.

Today I've really been missing the little things about my soldier. I miss the way he says certain things, even though I get to talk to him, it's not the same. I really miss being in the same room with him and doing the so called mundane tasks of the day with him... like laundry, and dinner, etc.
I can't wait until he can be here and we can laugh together about the silly things the cat does that make me laugh, but it's just not the same without someone else to see it too.

I'm pretty tired now, it's getting late. Only about 40-45 days left until my honey is home! I can't wait!!!
