Feeling empty

I started to empty out the refridgerator today, throwing out condiments that I know we won't be needing in the next 2 days, taking pictures off the front of the fridge, and clearing out cabinets in the bathroom and kitchen. It feels so empty and it's only going to get worse as the days go on. I'm excited to get out of here, but at the same time, it feels really lonely.

We went out for dinner tonight with one of John's cousins who is in town to see his girlfriend. She is also from Ohio and happened to move up here with friends. It crazy because who the hell just decides to move to Silverdale? Either way, it was nice to meet her and see his cousin and catch up over dinner. We ate at Outback and it was delicious! Better than the turkery burgers that are waiting to be eaten in the freezer. They will meet their fate tomorrow, despite my unwillingness to want to cook them. Ugh.....the last boring dinner....I hope!

The "what's left"

Dinners at our house are getting to be VERY boring. I'm not one who likes to waste food (we only make enough for the 2 of us and if there is anything left, if it can be eaten for lunch, even if it's a few bites , I'll save it) so we're eating what's left in the cabinets or trying very hard to. Needless to say, everything we've been eating doesn't really go together, but hey, it works. We're supposed to go out to dinner with John's cousin tomorrow who is in town and then on Tuesday, he wants to go out for his "last supper" on land, so we're down to tonight and Monday to finish up the turkey burgers in the freezer and I think he's got some TGI Friday's frozen meal...but he will probably eat that for lunch tomorrow. When it's all over, I will be so glad. I can't stand to eat out and it's even more annying when you can't buy food to cook at home!

Black Friday

4am this morning....it's early, very dark, cold, wet, WAY too early to be up. That's why I was still sleeping in bed.

Every year I entertain the idea of getting up and braving the crowd, searching for deals, but the problem is that there is never anything that I HAVE to have and can only get the best deal on Black Friday. I'm sure at some point in time that might happen, but that has not been the case in years past, nor this year. We're very much wanting a new flat screen TV for the new house, but until the one we have kicks the bucket (God willing in this next move) it will just have to wait.

So we spent our day buying a few odds and ends that we needed (lightbulbs to replace burnt out ones before we move out) and then cleaned some things around the house so that way when they come to pack us out on the 3rd, I don't have that much to do. It's hard to believe that in 5 days, my house will be empty, or close to it at least.

Hope you all spent your day either shopping or relaxing. If you had to work, my apologies to you. It's time to switch from Thanksgiving to Christmas! My, where does the time go!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Ahhh Thanksgiving. The day that we are to give thanks for the things in our lives or just in general that we are thankful for and the day that we eat lots of turkey and other goodies. I would like to say all the things that I am thankful for, but at the same time, I fear that if I do that, I will forget to mention something important and those of you that read this might think that I'm ungrateful for things I might fail/forget to mention. So, I will just say that I am thankful for every day that I wake up and all the things around me which make my life what it is. I am thankful for my family and friends, they have made me who I am today. I am thankful for much much more, but I will not continue to elaborate.

Yesterday was a very busy day for me. John's boat came in around noon so my friend Caroline and Sarah went down to the waterfront to watch them pull in and wait for them to get off so we could say hello to them. My mom made some cookies on Monday night for me to bring home, so I took those down to pass out to the guys. I generally bake something to take down, but considering I didn't get home until 4pm Monday evening, baking was NOT on my agenda. So thanks to my mom, the boys still got baked goods :) They didn't last very long down there...they LOVE when the women bring them food.

After getting to see John, I had to leave and come back to my house so the car transport company could pick up my friend's car from here. They have moved on to DC so I told them they could leave their car here until the company could pick it up.

I had a doctor's appointment at 3pm for my ear...again. On Tuesday when I left my parents house, I was so excited because I could hear for the first time in almost 2 weeks. Some nasty peanut butter colored gum looking like stuff came out of my ear which seemed to be what the problem was. Well, when I woke up on Tuesday, I couldn't hear and felt the pressure, so I figured I should get it checked out again just to make sure something isn't wrong again. He prescribed me some ear drops that seem to be helping, but he told me I should go back in a few weeks to have my ear drum checked out to make sure it's healing because if it's not, I'll have to have surgery to get some flap put over it to help it heal. I'm hoping it's getting better, I can already hear better today so I'll take that as a positive sign. The downside to all of this is that I spent an hour and a half at the pharmacy waiting for my prescription!!! Being in the military has some advantages like, not having to pay for going to the doctor or getting prescriptions, but the downfall is WAITING to get your drugs filled. If you go in the early morning or right before it closes it's not bad, but at 3:15 after my appointment was over...yeah, RIDICULOUS!!!

Goodnight!

I made it safely back to Washington (yet again) and it's been another one of the longest days of my life. It seems as though I'm having more of those days than I'd really care for! I haven't done much since I got back here and I don't really plan on doing much more. I'm protesting!!

With that being said, I'm off to bed for some VERY much needed sleep.

Time's up.....

Well, the very few days I've spent here in Ohio are up and I'm heading back to WA in the very early morning. I should be used to getting up at the butt crack of dawn, but man am I tired of it! I wish that I could just stay here until after Christmas and have John do the move (the supervising of the pack out) for me...that would be great! But, if I'd have done that he'd be spending Thansgiving alone and I didn't want to do that to him, but at the same time, I don't think it's that big of a sacrifice to ask him to make...but oh well, that's not happening anyways. So I should just stop thinking about it.

I spent my weekend with my nephews on Friday/night, Saturday night I took my friend Amanda out for her birthday which was on Friday, but I was beyond tired to take her out Friday night. Sunday, my nephews came to my parents house for a sleepover and were here most of the day today. Spending time with them was great. They wanted me to sleep on the pull out coach with them so I did. Fun, but BIG mistake. I got head butted and smacked (not on purpose), Ben talked numerous times while Max snored like a freight train. I woke up thinking, "How in the world can a little boy snore so loud?" God love them though. As much as I didn't sleep last night and referred to the night as napping, it was good to be with them. They are just too cute for words!

It's approaching 10:30pm and I need to figure out what I'm putting in my bag to take back to WA. Some day, all this traveling will be over!!

Day 3...the arrival

My apologies for no post yesterday. After driving for 13 hours, leaving in the dark and arriving in the dark, having to eat dinner and then think about the next day's drive left me no time to post.

The drive yesterday wasn't too awfully bad. We had some terrible weather for about 2 hours in Montana and it was white knuckle driving for me. It was 15 degrees and the highway looked (from what I could see with my headlights) looked like a solid sheet of ice with only one set of tire tracks to follow. It was snowing, WAY early, and all I wanted to do was make it safely. Like I said, it was only for about 2 hours before we drove out of it and into sunny weather for the rest of the day. We stayed in Clear Lake, Iowa and my Lord it was FREEZING!! When we got up this morning it was 4 degrees and the weather said it felt like -14. YIKES! My poor little car has never been in such cold temperatures...guess she'll have to get used to it living in upstate for the next 3 years!

Today's drive was much more tolerable. We left at 4:30am and I was able to drop Mary off at 3:30 around Dayton. She called her other son and asked him to pick her up at the 70/75 interchange so I wouldn't get stuck in rush hour construction Dayton traffic. I told her she didn't need to do it, but boy am I glad she did. The construction traffic was a bit harry, but not too bad considering it was only 3:45. I could only imagine how bad it is around 5! So Mary, thanks so much for having James come get you!!

After dropping her off I came to my sisters to see the kids. Poor Max has strep throat so I'm hoping that tomorrow he will be feeling better. I'm also hoping that I don't catch it! I'm already on ammoxicilin for my ear so I'm thinking I'll be ok. Please God let that be the case!

I'll only be here until Tuesday morning when I'll fly back West. This traveling thing is really getting old. But it's not over anytime soon. I'm just glad for now that I made it to Ohio safely and that I don't have to make the West to East coast trip again until February, but that time, I'll be a measly passenger! I'm definitely not nice enough to drive John's truck here when I leave in December. I'm checking the "NO" box on that one!

Day 1

12-13 hours of driving really takes it out of a person. We made it to Billings, MT today and we got a little bit of everything on the way. Sun, clouds, little bit of rain and some snow (more than I really wanted to deal with, but not too bad). Tomorrow's destination is Iowa, the city is yet to be determined. We'll see how we feel. Getting up and getting on the road is not a problem, and even the drive is not that bad, but it's losing an hour every day that REALLY sucks. So with that being said, I need to get to bed so we can get up and get moving at the butt crack of dawn tomorrow. Please pray again for safe travels for us and good weather again :)

Curfew

It's 9p.m. and I told myself (and my mother-in-law) that my goal was to be upstairs for my curfew pre-travel day by nine o'clock. Ha ha! I wish. We're leaving at what my friend Julie and I call o' dark thirty which tomorrow translates into 4:30am. We were going to do 5, but I want to drive 12 hours a day and with it starting to get dark by 4:30pm...we thought we'd get an earlier start so we don't have to drive much in the dark evenings. So with that being said, I should get myself upstairs so I can hopefully go to bed by 10 which means I need to be IN bed by 9:30 so I can wind down. Pray that we have nice weather and safe travels!

Farewell

Tonight, the wives from the wardroom on the boat threw me a farewell party. It was SOOO nice. One of the newer wives to the boat, Melissa, hosted at her home and I have to say, it was pretty fabulous. She completely outdid herself as far as food, presentation and drink go. It was so nice and relaxing, and everyone was able to attend except for one wife who was out of town. It was nice to get together with everyone one last time and in a way, is going to make me sort of miss living here. It's taken some time, but I've met a lot of really good people up here who I'm going to miss. But at least we will keep in touch which is one of the ups of moving around so much, the meeting so many people.

I'll post some pictures later of the marvelous food!

Introducing......

Our brand new house beginning December 1st!

From Someday We'll Put Down Roots

After much looking, negotiating, and thinking we were going to end up with a different house, I saw this one on Tuesday night online and asked my realtor to show it to me on Wednesday, right before I was going to sign for a different house. Upon going inside, I fell in love!

It is on the lake, well, the only thing between the house and the lake is the road, but there are NO obstructions of the views in any room of the house. It's brand new, and was within our price range for renting which really blew my mind. The landlord is giving it away based on what my realtor said he could probably rent it for, let alone if he wanted to sell the whole property. It's a duplex, but as of right now no one lives in the other side. Hopefully whoever does is nice and quiet....I don't want to have to get anyone evicted!

Across the street we have 100ft of private lake front...too bad we don't have a boat! However, I am not above buying a blow up boat for the summer and floating out there and getting a tan, although, I don't swim in lakes. Maybe I will just have to start :) I'm not going to write much more since it's been a VERY long day and I have been lucky enough to get and bring home a nasty ear infection which is NOT fun. I'll leave you all with a few pictures that were listed with the house online. I didn't take any pictures since I really didn't think I was going to end up with it...I'm so happy we did!! Too bad I'll probably cry in 3 years when we'll have to move out :(

Here is the fire place in the family room

This is my DREAM kitchen! I can't wait to get in there and cook!!

Urgent Care X 2

Before I flew out here Sunday night, I noticed that my ear was starting to hurt on Saturday when I woke up. I figured that it would either go away or that I'd just end up with a stupid little sore throat. Well, Monday and Tuesday it hurt just a little bit, but I thought for sure that I could hold out until Saturday when I got back home. Yeah right. Last night around 8pm, I started to feel the worst pains in my ear. If felt like someone was cramming cotton in my ear with needles and wouldn't stop to save my life. I decided that I was going to have to break down and go to urgent care the next morning (which was this morning).

Knowing what a nightmare most urgent cares are, I planned on getting up and getting there right at 7am when they opened. Clearly my body had other plans for me. I went to bed around 11:30 last night and laid there for hours! At 3am I decided that I'd get up and get online, watch tv, and anything else to pass the time until I felt tired. 5am rolled around and I figured I might as well try to go to bed since I was planning on getting up at 6:50 so I could call urgent care and make sure I could go there with my insurance. When my alarm went off, I immediately turned it off and didn't wake up until 9 when my phone rang. After that, I figured that I should get up and take my sorry self to urgent care.

Poor Marisa got up and had a headache that she'd been having for the past 3 days. I told her to put a coat on and just go to urgent care with me. She thought I'd already gone, so was happy to know that we could both go together. So we put on our shoes and coats and took the trip up the street to urgent care. What a sorry bunch we are! The doctor gave me some drops to put in my ear and some ammoxicillin and Marisa got an IV that cured her headache. We're both feeling much better now, but unfortunately I'll be driving back to Connecticut tomorrow to spend the night so I can fly out early on Saturday. But oh well, we're planning on going out for pizza with our friend Kurt, so we at least went out one night!

House hunting

Well I made to New York safely on Monday morning after a long ride overnight. I guess it really wasn't that long since I slept the whole way, even though I really wouldn't call it "sleep" as more of "nodding on and off until something feel asleep." But it wasn't that bad of a flight and then my layover at JFK was fairly quick and my flight to Hartford was even quicker. The drive to Saratoga was not too bad, however, I got a little bit of every kind of weather. Sun, sleet, rain, and even a bit of snow...nothing major though.

I only looked at one house on Monday. Based on the pictures the owner had sent to, I was really excited to go and see this, thinking it could very well be "the one!" As soon as I walked in, I was immediately let down. The walls of the family room were stucco, the kitchen didn't have much cabinet space, and the garage had been turned into an extra room which I could have done without. With as cold as it is up here in the winter we need to have at least 1 car that goes in a garage. So, needless to say I walked out the door disappointed.

Today was much better than yesterday though. I had 4 to look at and 2 of them were a bust. Of the remaining 2, one is within our price range but will be a 45 minute drive for John to work, while the other is 300 over our BAH. We decided that we'd rather live within the BAH amount and him have to drive versus paying more than the Navy gives us. So when I called the realtor of that house and told her why we were deciding against it, she said she would contact the owner and see if they would drop it. She said she got someone else a house today that was listed for 2400 for 1850...that's some wheeling and dealing! So, I'm hoping that house will drop their rent asking price so we can take that instead...but we'll see.

So, those are my adventures so far. Keep your fingers crossed that the house in Saratoga drops their rent or that something else miraculously falls into my lap in the next day or two. I'll keep you posted...stay tuned!!

Procrastinating

Here it is, 3pm and I have yet to pack for my flight to New York tonight. The captain's wife will be picking me up in 5 hours to take me to the airport, so really, I have plenty of time to pack, I just find myself waiting until the last minute to get it done. I've found many things to do in order to help me further procrastinate, but I'm thinking I need to stop before it gets too late and I'm panicking at the last moment.

I worked out for about 45 minutes in an effort to calm my jitters and found that it didn't work that well. After I was finished with that, I decided to drag my suitcase out of the closet downstairs. While doing that, I thought to myself, "I should empty out this box (from the stuff my mom sent me LAST Christmas)and get rid of it so we have a little more room in here." Mind you, we're packing out in like 3 weeks maybe, so do I really need anymore room? I didn't think so, but hey, it sounded like a good idea. So then, after I do that (the empty box is now sitting in the middle of my living room)I decided I should take the spiderwebs and Halloween things down and put them in the other box my mom sent me this year (for Halloween stuff of course). So now that that is completed, I've found that my kitchen seems very empty. I normally have up coffee pictures, plates, and some glass hurricanes with coffee beans and candles in them (yes, my kitchen has a coffee theme), but I figured it's useless to put them back up only to take them back down again in a few weeks. I never really thought it would feel that empty. I didn't have those things up until sometime at the beginning of the year maybe, so there was a time when there was nothing up there, but I just don't remember it feeling so empty. I guess I'll just have to deal with it as things are going to only get emptier (is that even a word?) as the days go by.

Now that I've finished this, I'm guessing I should take a shower and begin packing. I have enough anxiety on my own on the days that I travel, so last minute packing is the last thing I need to add to my list. Plus, I need to dig up some medication or go buy some that has an added sleep agent. I have 5 hours on the plane that I need to use to sleep. Leaving at 10:50 pm which is 1:50am East coast time and arriving in JFK at 7am, flying to Hartford and arriving at 9:45am only to drive 2-2 1/2 hours to Saratoga...yeah, I'm going to need to sleep on the way out there.

Rain, rain......GO AWAY!

I will not write much for this day as nothing positive will be said. I am SOOOO tired of it raining. It's been raining at some point in the day for the past, 6, 7, 8, hell I don't know how many days it's been now. I stopped counting. It just keeps coming and it's literally making me crazy. Thank God I am leaving tomorrow night for NY, and there is rumor that the day I'm coming back it's supposed to be sunny. I won't be holding my breath. My hats off to the people who weather doesn't effect them because it takes a baseball bat and beats the hell out of me.

John and I went to see the movie Role Models this evening and I gotta say, it was pretty funny. It had a good message overall and was pretty funny all the way through. The only highlight of the day.

Well, I don't really have much else to say, that's nice at least. So, for all of you who are wishing for rain, live out here for a year and a half, you'll never want it to rain EVER again!

Stalker Mail

When I got in my mailbox today, amongst the junk was this envelope.

From Someday We'll Put Down Roots

As I looked at it, I'm thinking, "What the hell is this?" So I open it up and here is what's inside.

From Someday We'll Put Down Roots

I immediately started laughing out loud because I know exactly what this is about.

When we threw our Halloween party, we told people that they could park on the street that is facing toward our house. The only reason I did this is because I've seen people park there before and walk to a house that is down one of those side streets. The pictures of the signs are signs that are posted when you drive into our subdivision. It cracks me up because I know it's this old man who lives here in the subdivision. I'm sorry, but if you have a problem with something I've done, knock on my door and tell me to my face, don't send me some stalker mail with photos and no return address. And if you have nothing better to do than to watch what the hell I'm doing? For all I know they are looking in my windows when I'm not home to make sure my house is clean or some crazy shit like that. It really kinda pisses me off because like I said, knock on my door and tell me I'm in "violation" of your signs, but by all means, don't single me out. I am not the only person who has every had people park on the street. Are they doing this to other people too? I can understand if it's something I'm continually doing, but for one night? Yeah right! It just reaffirms my belief that there are some old people who don't have anything better to do than to be up in your business. Needless to say, I'm glad I'll be out of here in less than 30 days. On top of that, I'll be sure I don't live in a neighborhood where the neighbors house isn't on top of mine!

Weather channel = nightmares

Presently the weather channel is giving me nightmares. If any of you have the weather channel and happen to tune in, you might notice that the Pacific Northwest is presently getting LOTS of rain. Tomorrow they are saying we'll get 5". It rained all day today and there are no signs of it stopping. Needless to say, I am counting down until they pack up my belonging and ship them east. But on the other hand of that, I'm praying that it is not raining or snowing on December 3rd or 4th when they will be packing out my house. The last thing I need is to worry about my bed and couch showing up 2 days after Christmas moldy as hell. I talked to a woman once who had that happen to her. It makes me shutter just thinking about it.

In addition to all this fantastic rain we're getting, Montana and the Dakotas are getting hammered with snow and blizzard conditions. This too is giving me nightmares! It shouldn't give me nightmares just yet since I won't be driving through there until 2 weeks from today, but it still gives me cause for concern. If these conditions keep up, I haven't the slightest idea how I'm going to get to Ohio. For those of you that are wondering what it is I'm doing...my newest plan is this. I have now decided to drive my car home on the 19th and leave it at my parents house. This way, I can fly back here (on the 25th), John and I will just share his truck, they will pack out my house on the 3rd and hopefully pick up his truck a few days later. Then on the 8th (assuming they've picked up John's truck by then) I will rent a car and then on the 9th, catch a flight back to Ohio and all will be right with the world. The reason I'm shooting for the 9th is because my friend Mary is flying back to Louisiana for the holidays and if I have to take her down, I might as well peace out too. She's one of my best friends up here so it would be nice to be able to say goodbye to someone before I get on the plane.

So those are my plans. Pray that it all works out and that the weather cooperates with me while I drive. It's all happening very fast, but it's falling into place for the most part. Let's hope it stays that way!

Lifesaver Sarah

Today I went to my friend Sarah's house again to work on this scrapbooking business for deployment. I sat for an hour at her dining room table in bewilderment wondering what in the world I was going to do for these calendar days we have to decorate. She told me on Monday when I was there that she had bought a digital scrapbooking kit from Best Buy that was cake to use and that if I wanted to use it that I was more than welcome to. I told her it was ok and that I'd figure out what I was going to do. Yeah, big fat lie.

So today, she showed me what she's done using the program and just how easy it was to use. At that point, I was sold. She installed the program on my laptop and I gave it a whirl. Why the hell I ever told her I'd do it by hand/paper I'll never know because this program is a Godsend! It took me a little bit to learn how it worked, but once I got the hang of it...it was so easy!! I ended up getting 4 days finished which never would have happened if I would have gone about it the traditional way. So Sarah, this post is dedicated to you! You are a Lifesaver!!

Election Day

It looks to be a historic day in our country this election day. Politics is something I generally don't discuss and is not something I'm going to dedicate this post to either. I don't think anyone can deny what a mess this country has been in lately and the only thing I will say is that with Obama projected to win the presidency, I think it is a sign of good things to come. I'm very excited to see what happens when he takes over...as an educator, an American, and a human being.

On another note, things are changing yet again on our front. I am scheduled to leave on Sunday for New York and John was supposed to be gone, but now he will not be gone. It sucks that he won't be able to go with me, but it will be nice for me to be able to talk to him while I'm there and to be able to send pictures of the houses I look at. This way, we'll be able to make a decision together and I won't feel like it's all up to me. Well, it really is all up to me if you really think about it, but it's nice to talk it over too.

Tomorrow it looks like I'll be doing crafts all day for John's upcoming deployment because God knows I'm running out of time....and fast! So, I should probably shoot to get them done by Friday if that's even possible. I'm not a person who likes to do crafts because I have to but more because I want to. And even though I want to do this, it's not my first priority by any means. It is with that, that I'm going to wrap this up, watch John McCain concede, and head upstairs to relax.

Tomorrow is a new day!

Yet another rainy day

It is the time where the sun has packed it's bags and headed elsewhere and the rain has come and set up shop. We saw the sun on and off yesterday, but for the more than half of the day (at my house anyways) we had rain. This would make it day 5. Yippie...can you sense the sarcasm?!

I did, however, spend my day over at a friend's house working on scrapbook stuff for the upcoming deployment. I should say that she and one of the other wives did more scrapbooking than I did. My brain has checked out so I did what I could. I guess it's better than nothing.

The last thing I did this evening was make some chocolate chip banana bread. It smells good and I'm hoping will taste just as good. It even looks good too. What do you think?

From Someday We'll Put Down Roots

The big chunks on top are nilla wafer cookies. We'll see how it tastes tomorrow!

Stroking out

Let me begin by saying that I hate this daylight savings fall back business. Most of you enjoy the extra hour of sleep, but I do not. At least not today. I didn't sleep worth a damn last night and I was not so happy at 5:00 when it was pitch black outside. The weather has been less than appealing the last 4 days which is making this transition that much worse. On top of all this wonderfulness, we scheduled the pack out today for one month from tomorrow. And then, I've been looking at the houses we have on our list and trying to make contact with the owners and Realtors to set up appointments for next week while I am in New York. It's frustrating because one of the houses online says it's still available and when I emailed the realtor to set up a showing, I get an email saying it's no longer available. So now I'm overstressing about this potentially happening with other houses we have on the list. I know that this is something that is out of my control, but that's just the way I am. I feel like I'm going to stroke out before I ever get moved. I been in this position before and I've made it out alive, but continually going through this is taking it's toll on me. I'm scared to check my blood pressure as I'm sure it's even higher than it has been. Pray that I have the strength to get through this yet again!

It's Official...

...we're moving...again! Most of you already know that we were going to go Saratoga Springs but the paperwork has arrived which makes it official! John doesn't have to report until March, but he'll be on the boat until sometime in February. When he gets off the boat, he'll fly back here to Washington to check out of the command and then he will fly to meet me in New York.

My plan is to schedule the pack out the same day that John leaves for deployment. Might as well say goodbye to everything at once! Then I'll have to get my carpets cleaned, wait a day or so for them to dry, make sure everything is cleaned and then I'll begin my journey back East. I'm hoping that whichever way I plan to drive will be snow free until I've passed through, however, I'm not sure if that will happen or not since it will be December. Then I'll be home for Christmas and probably head to New York a day or two after that.

I'm hoping that since now we have papers in hand that all my plans will fall into place and things won't be as stressful. It will be nice to say, "My pack out is on such and such date and I'll be leaving on blah blah blah day to head East." Now all I have to do is hope I find a house for us when I make my trip to NY.
