Category Archives: Everyday Stuff

Just an area for what I’m doing on an everyday basis.

I’m Alive

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. =)

Day Off

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.

Last Full Day Together

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/

Happy Veterans Day

Today was Veterans Day. I hope everyone thanked a veteran today. Thanks Dad, Thanks Harold!

I like the thought behind this article : War vets urged to wear medals on V-Day

I would like for this to become a tradition. For the pride, but also to bring in front of folks who don’t think of it and don’t realize how many have served. And many do not know how many vets they may know, maybe if it was in their face then they wouldn’t take for granted what we have and get involved.
