Week of USA
Kevin's finally done with the Washington check-out process. It took him a whopping 3 (4 if you count his red-eye flight into Friday morning) business days to be done with it all which was especially nice considering it could have taken up to 10 days! Wow! I'll have him write an entry about it sometime today once he wakes up ( Read more... ) -
Back on US Soil
I've finally arrived safe and sound in Memphis, TN after a long couple of flights. The first was uneventful up until some scary turbulence as we were crossing the international dateline, but for the most part I slept. The second flight was short and I slept until touchdown in Memphis. Even though I slept a lot, I was still exhausted and ended up ( Read more... ) -
And the Flying Spaghetti Monster reached out his noodly appendage...
...and spared Sakai in his 11th hour! Thank goodness for Kris who came up with a brilliant plan to ask her home school group if anyone would be able to take Sakai/Norman/George. Within the day we had an interested family! With a few brief emails, I met his new family on base for the hand off. Sakai was a little stressed out from being jostled ( Read more... ) -
Don't cry for me, Zushi-shi. The truth is I NEEEEVER left you.
Well, I will be leaving soon! The movers came this morning an hour ahead of schedule which threw me into a panic in order to throw on decent clothes before they walked in the door. We sectioned off an area which we called the "DMZ" where all of our luggage and items for our express shipment would go and then let the movers loose in the house. At ( Read more... ) -
Healing and Pottery
Well, it's been about a week since the pain and shingles appeared and so far things are progressing as well as can be expected. I believe we caught it early enough because I think the medicine is really helping stop the spreading and to quicken the healing process. The patch is now very small and when I feel it, it already feels like there are ( Read more... ) -
SHINGLES! *jazz hands*
Late last week I started feeling a pain up my right side under my arm. Kind of a burning like if I gave myself razor burn from shaving only there was no visible markings indicating razor burn. Stumped, I let it go. Around that same time, I noticed a few red dots in one area of my back. Thinking they were just some acne, I also let it go. It wasn't ( Read more... ) -
Stuck in Standby
So nothing terribly new to report on the Japan side of the world. Paperwork is paperwork and as of today, things have already been delayed again ( Read more... ) -
A Round-a-bout
I'm not really sure who all reads this blog , so I'll just shotgun everything I want to cover and that way if you do or don't read this regularly you will understand where I'm coming from.
The Navy is like one big rotary where no one on it knows which exit they are suposed to take. You have people spinning around and around, in their own minds ( Read more... ) -
Slow Goings
Things have been rather slow around here and there's really nothing new to report. I didn't want to bore you with our day to day goings on - video games in the day for me; dinner, anime and bed once Kevin comes home. We tried going geocaching a few weekends ago but my stomach acted up and we called it quits early on. The main reason we've been ( Read more... ) -
Flowchart of our Courtship
In the spirit of the love holiday, I'll give you a peek into something Kevin and I did when we were dating. Since we always had distance between us, we came up with some creative ideas besides phoning, emailing and visiting. One of those ideas was to send a journal back and forth to each other in the mail. It contained our thoughts about certain ( Read more... )
