Just A Dream by Carrie Underwood

Good afternoon!

Flyboy was on crew rest until about an hour ago, so that is the reason for today’s late post. Yeah, there sure is nothing like being with someone for 6 days straight, 24-7 and then the first day you are separated is for 14 hours plus. *sigh* I feel pretty bad though, we did stay up talking an hour or so into crew rest. He is alright, don’t worry, he did get his 8 hours. =) I am glad that we did talk; it helped relieve a lot of my stresses. Don’t get me wrong, I am still stressed as ever, but it is more of a surface stress than a core stress, if that makes ANY sense at all.

We figured it wasn’t the Glucophage that was making me queasy since I am still queasy and I haven’t taken it for over a week now. We are guessing that it is the other pill I am taking because we were out past my pill time (yes I have a scheduled time to take my pills) and after about 20 minutes of it not being in my system, I came ever so close to losing my dinner on a passing goose. We also know that it is a common side affect of those particular pills. My question is, why hasn’t this affected me in the past, I have been taking them since December…

This weekend has been very looooong. It started off with the Squadron picnic and ended with a day of washing uniforms.

The picnic was alright. It dragged a whole lot though. (Maybe I should get involved with organizing this yearly shindig) Flyboy’s allergies started acting up like they always do. This time the allergy pill didn’t help, poor thing, so we ended up leaving early. We had fun while we were there and I guess that is what counts? After we left and Flyboy’s allergies were under control, I decided we would head downtown and get some miscellaneous nuts for the nut mix I make him. (He was low and Soldier wanted me to bring some, since he liked the mix I sent him). On the way hone we stopped by the Boba Tea place and had some of that yummy-ness and somehow wound up walking around downtown for 3 hours or so. All I know is we arrived when it was light and didn’t leave until dark. =S (that’s when I missed my pills and almost lost my supper on a waddling goose) We ended up walking a little over 3 miles. (We Googled it when we got home)

Friday I am completely drawing a blank on, which means we probably, stuck around the house. Saturday I rearranged the house again. This time is so open, and I love it! Well except at night when I am coming from the bedroom and all the lights are off, then it is really, REALLY spooky, bit other than that it is awesome! Flyboy wasn’t too thrilled with that, but he likes the end result. He decided to do the dishes for me while I rearranged the living room, yay me! I made chicken parmesan that night and it turned out surprisingly well. (I have been having trouble making it for a while now)

Sunday we went on a quest to find a suitable Over Night Bag, and we found one. I wish it was taller, but hey, this one works for us. I don’t think there will ever me another Over Night Bag like Mississippi Mom’s brown one. ^_^ I like that bag =) Once we came home and I packed it (still missing a few items that I will pick up o Friday) Flyboy reminded me that he needed his uniforms washed, so that became my next task. Once the clothes were done, we watched the news and TMZ (now, I am not a fan of celebrity gossip, let alone the shows, you know the shows I am talking about, but we really enjoy this show for the sheer fact that it is real journalism not this “yellow” nonsense) when headed for bed and Flyboy went on crew rest.

I woke up this afternoon and took him to work and here I am, bored and alone. I don’t have to sweat it too much; he has tomorrow off, another comp day. (they make them take comp days asap) right now I have my second load of clothes in the wash and a pile of clean clothes on the couch that need to be folded, so I can use the basket to transfer laundry. I plan on unloading the dishwasher and putting the newly dirty ones in there and pretty much get this house together for the trip. I figure I will also start packing our clothes that way I don’t have to do more laundry.

Tomorrow, we are going to get up early and go swimming since all the kids will be at school and everyone else won’t have the day off. (This was Flyboy’s idea, and a really excited one at that!)

As For Soldier, I have no clue. The last I heard from him was on Thursday, and I couldn’t talk very long because we had to go to the picnic. (We were talking over the computer) As far as I know he left on our Monday (his Tuesday) for his HOP. When I hear something out of him I will let you all know. I am guessing he won’t get to the States until Saturday or so. He said they have to have a full plane before they can take off. I mean depending on how long it will take to fill that flight, there is a chance it may be a few weeks before he can get to the States. I pray that won’t be the case, but I am just letting you know the situation.

Well my tummy is growling and the washer just finished doing its thing, so I better go for now. I hope you all are doing well, and if you hear from Soldier before I do, tell him to call me or something. =)

Take care! Love ya!
