One day at a time...
So, it's approximately 2am on a cold Wednesday morning. I'm content in my big work chair with chinese food in my belly and 1970s zombie movies on the television. I've got 9 days until Sean's back in my arms and nothing to do but pack, sleep and study.
Previously on "This is my Life," I was doing exams and such. Well, as of last Saturday at 12:30pm I am a Roanoke College graduate with a Bachelors of Science in Biology. The ceremony was long, but very nice. My aunt and uncle couldn't make it, but we took plenty of pictures and getting a complimentary DVD later. Afterwards was a nice little lunch at Olive Garden. I don't want to sound selfish but I hope I get some graduation money soon -- I've got some minor bills and IOUs left to pay off before I'm free of Salem.
Now that school's done, most of my time is either at work, the gym or asleep. Sometime tomorrow I have to start packing and moving my smaller things back to the parent's place for temporary storage. The next time I'm up in Norfolk I might bring a few boxes with me to put in storage up there (less to keep at my parent's place). We'll see. I've got to finish up my 2 grad school application essays and pay the final fees. Shouldn't be too hard. Once those are done, I've got to start on 2-3 baby quilts, a few plushies and more drawings. I've got quite a few birthdays and occasions to prep for so this summer is going to be busy!
The exercise routine is going well. It's a very slow process and as of yet I haven't lost any weight but I'm hoping within the next 2-3 weeks I'll see some progress. I'm still hitting the gym everyday for at least 45 mins. Right now I'm just focusing on overall weight loss and slimming the stomach. I'm getting quite used to aches and tight muscles lol.
I've been scheduling appointments lately. I've got to get Rylan declawed and chipped soon; Mom would prefer I get him declawed before he lives at the house. We've found a few places with very reasonable prices that include pain meds and hospitalization. Boo's got to get shaved soonish but it can wait until June when the temps start to get hotter. Rylan will not because his fur is too pretty and he likes being brushed (Boo doesn't). Plus, if I've got any money left over I'm going to schedule for the permanent make-up appointment (yay no more racoon eyes when I wake up, shower, cry, etc).
Like I said earlier, I've got 9 more days before Sean's back in port. I'm very excited because in his last email he said he'd like to visit for a little while on leave (they switched it around). I hope he does because I miss him. I'm going to be such a wreck while he's deployed. I still plan on visiting him in Norfolk before d-day, even though he won't be able to stay with me during the day. Hopefully by then I should have my GPS so I can go visiting complexes and learning the area. I just want to hug him so bad right now, but because I'm sad or anything. I just miss the feeling -- there's nothing like it for me. I pray and pray that these feelings will continue even after he's left. I know they will, but I'll still pray. I just wish I had a way to show him how I feel for/about him.. Any ideas?
Anyways, I should get back to fake working. I can't wait until the good weather comes. I wanna get the bike out soon. I've already been enjoying walks with Ray around Rivers Edge, getting plenty of burns -> tans. We're planning on a big celebration to Busch Gardens and Water Country USA once I've moved to August. Sounds like fun no? I'm going to invite many of my friends and let them stay in our first home during their stay (gives me butterflies every time I say it). I get the pleasure of decorating the place once we apply, are approved and move in. Let's see if I can make it home for him for when he returns to me.
