I know it as been a while since a true update on what has been going on. Well after Harold left I ended up working a lot of hours until I posted that I was still alive.

I had planned on using my 2 days off to write some posts and do some work. But by Monday, while at work I hit the brick wall. I was so tired and then turn around the holidays were around the corner and I was missing my family and Harold wasn’t home. So I ended up in a funk. =(

I did call and wish my dad a happy birthday on the 21st. I miss pestering him.

I spent my days off reading and hoping that Harold would actually get some time to call and chat. He was so extremely busy that we didn’t get that until Wednesday night. =( I finally got out of my funk just before I chatted with him Wednesday when I called Sandi and vented. So between him and her it helped.

I know if it wasn’t for the holidays, I wouldn’t have had such a hard time. But I’ve always had good memories with my family during the holidays and then not having Harold, it really bothered me. If he had the trip in March area, I would’ve just found things that needed to be worked on.

I picked Harold up from the airport Saturday. He got in an hour earlier then we expected so I didn’t have all my make up on and almost missed his call! Icks! I got over there ASAP and he was waiting.

Unfortunately I had to head to work for the evening. Today was our 1st day off together since he left. I had made sure I got his birthday off………grin

I gave him his presents this morning. I had gotten him a new dvd player, new Oakley’s & an strawberry ice cream cake. =)

We went and saw the new James Bond. We were impressed with it. It had the harder edge that it has been missing and didn’t depend on all the gadgets (even though we missed Q).

Haorld wanted to try a local Japanese Steakhouse. It was good. =) I even tried some hot sake. When we got home we hit the desks and did some work.

Right now we are chilling out and watching the Packers play @ the Seahawks. Monday Night Football hasn’t been the same since it switched networks. The commentary sucks. =(

All in all it has been a good day. =)

Yes, I’m still alive. I’ve been working so much and back-to-back shifts that I haven’t had time for much else. In fact, I told Harold that it was a good thing that he wasn’t home, we would barely seeing each other in the pasting. =(

Harold is doing ok. He had a miserable first day but it has gotten better and extremely busy since. Other then a few drama queens that need to grow up, he has been enjoying the experience.

Alright, the main reason why I was posting was just let everyone know that I haven’t forgotten you. I have the Tuesday & Wednesday off, so I will get to everyone’s messages then. I’m sorry that it has taken so long. It bothers me when I see things pile up and I haven’t been able to respond to. =( But never fail, I will get to them. =)

Time for work. =)

I dropped Harold off at the airport around 4:30am. It is weird; Harold has been working from the house for the last 4yrs so it is strange not to have him in the office.

Since I was up I stopped by wally world (I love it when there is barely anyone in there). Picked up a few closet drawer organizers and a few other things.

I have laundry in, all the stuff from our closet pulled out and in the living room for when the sun goes down, got emails done, did some running around and mailed off our final truck payment!!! Hooray! I love that. =) I called and talked to my sister and I’m about ready to call my other sister.

It is about 77 and sunny out, while Harold is in the cold (he wasn’t too happy about that). I’ve been sitting out on the patio getting work done while I have some music blasting. I got the cats high on their cat nip since I know that they will be missing Harold. =) They love cuddling with him.

I have to work tomorrow, don’t feel like it. =( Just want to try and get other things done around the house.

Time to work on some dinner.

This is our last full day together until the 25th. I take Harold to the airport around 4:30am tomorrow. =( So that means, all emails and such won’t be taken care of until tomorrow afternoon.

It is going to be weird. This will only be our 4th separation that is more then a weekend in our 13yrs together. The only good thing about it is that with having time apart, we will appreciate our time together more when he gets back.

Unfortunately, I work his first 2 days back, but I have the 27th off! And that is the day I want. It is Harold’s b-day on the 27th so I want to spend that day with him. =)

I found this postcard ad from an Alaskan photographer. We saw his work when we were in Anchorage in 2001. We liked it so much that we brought two of his landscape prints, Morning Splendor & Denali Dawn. Check out his site, it is a great example of the natural beauty of Alaska : http://robertolson.com/
