I’ve been feeling pretty sick lately, but I think I’m on the rebound. And I think I found the worst possible combination of common illnesses – the flu and a migraine. Let me tell you about the havoc it causes to medications, ’cause you pretty much can’t take imitrex with, well, anything, without having negative side effects. Bummer. I’m down to just an annoying cough and a mild headache. Sadly enough, I’m happy about that!
We’re getting back to work on the house. We’re finishing up the interior painting, and if I can ever get G to order the wood sealer, we’ll be applying that sometime this month. (Editor’s note: Wood sealant bought! Mostly because I opened up the online form, filled everything out, and G told me his credit card number. Problem solved!)
I really need to make an appointment to get my hair trimmed. I’d gotten it cut short about a month or so ago, and it’s starting to get a bit shaggy. Ah, the joys of maintenance for short hair. :d
It hasn’t quite worked it’s way through my brain that I’m leaving soon. It doesn’t feel real yet. Mostly, I think, because I’m in denial. I really don’t want to leave G. I know our relationship can survive this deployment, but that doesn’t mean I want to be separated from him for more than a year. I had a rough time leaving him for a month when I went to Georgia. I don’t like thinking about how much a year is going to suck. But this is the way it’s going to be if I go active duty, so I’d best get used to it, I suppose.
There’s this urge in me to go with G to the Justice of the Peace and get eloped before I go. I’m not quite sure why I’m feeling the urge. Our wedding is planned for September 2011, about a year after I get back. And I don’t doubt that it’ll happen. But all the same, we’ve actually talked about just eloping, and G is all for it, but I know I won’t. Mostly because I don’t understand why I’m feeling the way I do, and I’m afraid it would be a hasty decision I’d later regret. Or maybe it’s because it would be an emotion-based decision, and I’m never comfortable with that type of reasoning, or lack thereof. I haven’t decided if I should resist the urge or just cave. Eh, maybe time will run out and I’ll be saved from making that call.
later
