Month: May 2009

  • Hey all!  Sorry it's been so long...this week especially has been sucky.

    To sum it up quickly...three seperate things in the house broke all at once, the last of which was finally fixed today.  Also, Cara is sick again, but it's been a while since she's had a cold this bad.  At first the doctor thought she might have asthma or bronchitis because she was so congested she was wheezing.  Just as he decided she needed a chest x-ray, Cara let loose with 3 good sneezes that cleared up her lungs.  Which means it's just a bunch of mucus in her sinuses that's running down her throat.  So he prescribed her some drops and she's all good to go now.

    Patrick's state-side right now for some training and won't be back until near the end of June, which means it's just me and Cara holding down the house right now...which is probably why all those things broke at once.  Law of TDYs...if it's going to break, it'll wait until about 1 week after the spouse is gone.

    Oh, and we're getting our dressers delivered this weekend!  They have several furniture shops in the "Alley", a row of shops and restaurants just outside the base.  So Patrick and I went to one and got 2 dressers custom-made to match our bed, since we left our old dressers state-side because they were pieces of crap.  The one even has a mirror above it, so it's going to double as my vanity.  (And yes...I realize how girly and uncharacteristic that is of me).

    And...that's about it for now.  We have a three-day weekend coming up, so I'm going to try and finally finish getting the house in order so I can take some pictures for you all.

    Oh, and there are a few more Cara pictures on the way in the next day or two.  Be watching!

  • Goodness, I really need to get better at remembering to write more!  Especially since Patrick went stateside on Wednesday for some training (lucky bum...) and won't be back until around June 26th.  So it's just me and Cara for about 2 months, the timing of which really sucks since we have a big inspection coming up at the beginning of July.  Which means everyone at work is going to be pinging, and continue to reinforce my dislike of them.

    Blech.

    In other news, I took this week off of work to try and finally finish unpacking the house.  It's been going rather well, but it looks like we might have to move to another house.  I don't know if it's just the house settling or what, but the last week or two I've started seeing a whole bunch of cracks appearing in several walls.  And they're visibly getting bigger.  So I had to neat up the house to make it presentable for the housing guys to come inspect the damage, but it also means I might have to pack everything up, move to a new house, then unpack and reorganize everything a second time...without Patrick to help.  But that's not written in stone...I'm going to call them Monday to try and get a verdict.

    Blech again.

    So, is there anything positive happening here?  Well...Cara's doing well.  I need to post some more pictures of her, or else my dad is going to get cranky.  Lol.

    Hmm...I should also take some pictures of the house...even if we don't end up staying in this one, it'd probably be good to give you guys a peek at our tiny, tiny house.

    Well, that's about it for now.  I'll try to get better at writing.

    Bye for now!
