Day Fifty-Two.

Tuesday, February 8, 2011

It was a snowy and blustery day here today. I started the day out with a migraine, and am ending it with a touch of a headache. I had class today and almost skipped it due to the weather and my headache. While I waited for my soldier to call me, I ended up taking about a 40 minute nap and felt at least well enough to get up and get moving, so I bundled up and headed to class.

The roads were slick and snowy, and the places where it wasn't snowy, the wind blew the snow around on the road like white wispy snakes. It was almost hypnotizing on the interstate. The wind whipped the snow in my face as I walked around on campus and chilled me to the bone! I am so ready for winter to be over.  We probably have two-foot drifts outside our apartment right now. I'm not sure if it's still snowing or if it's just the wind blowing it around, but it is quite a wintery scene out there!

Well, I got a nap, but I didn't get to talk to my soldier. I got a message later from him that he slept in today. He is going to try and call tonight, probably any time now, if he is able to. So I am trying to stay up for a little while longer. It is hard to always be waiting for a call. I am always glad to talk to my soldier, don't get me wrong, but it is hard to be on-call, just waiting. It is kind of like waiting for a bus at a bus stop, and the bus is supposed to come sometime between 11am and 2pm... and there is a coffee shop there on the corner, and you want coffee but you know as soon as you run in to get a cup, you'll see the bus pulling away and it won't be back until tomorrow... But since that bus takes you to a lovely place and makes you happy.. you don't want to miss it, and you'll never, ever skip out on waiting for it. Sigh.

So hopefully I'll hear something soon. It's always nice to talk to him before bedtime!
