It has been quite awhile since I last wrote, but what can I say? I really have no excuse!
It is Memorial Day weekend and it is great to have an extra day off! I really need it! A couple of weeks ago, my boss made me fire my co-worker Libby! I did make $100.00 for doing it, but that makes me sound even worse for doing it! She couldn't do it herself, so she bribed me. And it went pretty well. Libby is doing good and we still talk - but I still feel like a heartless bitch and I really don't like that! But since she is no longer working, and we haven't hired anyone else for the office, I have been working extra hours. This was the first Saturday that I didn't work in the past month. I love the overtime pay though! $19.50 an hour - I can live with that!!
On May 12th, Emmet and I had to go to Tampa to the BCIS (Bureau of Citizen and Immigration Services)for an interview for his Green Card. We were preparing for it for the month prior - getting all the paperwork we needed, including affidavits from people verifying that we are indeed a couple and not just a marriage of convenience. We had an 8:30 am appt, and got there about 15 after 8 am. We were standing outside and his name was called, then after going thru security, we were ushered in for him to have fingerprints taken and then into the interviewer's office. The 8:15 am appt had cancelled, so we got in early! The lady interviewing us was soo cool and after about 3 minutes, she said she was going to approve him - even before looking at all the paperwork. She was a real observant person and I think she saw that there was real emotion between us. She told me not to feel bad about our age difference - if she had a younger man, she would be bragging about it!! She was really funny and cool! But she said she wasn't always - she is hard when she has to be. We had some extra time and just visited with her until time for her next appt. She signed off on Emmet's passport and said he could fly to Ireland that day, if he wanted to! And be able to come back!! He no longer has to worry about a work authorization card or anything! Finally!!! It was a wonderful day for both of us.
He left to go back to Ft Lauderdale the next day, and I haven't seen him since! He's been working and when he did have days off - his old childhood friend from Ireland went to visit him. Damien Flood - he was in Orlando going to helicopter flying school. He will be back in a year to stay for 2 years. Emmet is excited about that, and said they had a great visit. Damien came with his girlfriend, Martina. (real Irish name, huh?)
The other night, Emmet called me in the middle of the night (he does this quite often - he works 10pm - 6am)holding his phone up to the radio while "The Reason" by Hoobastank was playing. God, I love that song! It is so great! The first time I heard that song, I thought, man, I wish that was how Emmet felt about me. And when he called the other night playing that, he told me he loves that song too and it is exactly how he feels about me! I couldn't believe it!! Last night he called me again when it played. And he called me when he heard "Unchained Melody" and also when "If You're Not the One". It's really sweet, but I don't often get a full night's sleep! It is nice to know he is thinking of me!
We have such an odd relationship and I don't know how long it can go on... I miss him all the time. But we get along so much better not living together!
Amber is going to go to California in less than 2 weeks and I do feel a bit envious! I miss my family there and the beauty of California.
But I have been enjoying the benefits of Florida too.
I am no longer doing Atkins - it proved to be too hard on my stomache! But I am a failure, once again! This morning and yesterday, I did go walking on the beach for exercise and I am really proud of myself!! I am also really sore! Walking in sand is really hard on the legs! But I need to keep doing this. I haven't gained any weight since stopping Atkins,and I don't want to! So, I am still kinda trying to watch what I eat and I know walking is going to be a good start to an exercise program.
Well, I think that's it for now....
