Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
Dreaming Of The Day
****
I had a eureka moment this afternoon. I figured out the
connection between my lethargy and any possible changes in
my life that could have caused it... I stopped taking my
prenatal vitamin. Not because I got lazy or tired of
taking it, but because I ran out. My obstetrician sent me
home with a three month supply and when they ran out I
didn't think anything of it, but after feeling like crap
for the better part of the last month I see that I need to
take something. So, I rummaged through my medicine cabinet
and found a long forgotten bottle of prenatals left over
from when I was pregnant last year. Since I didn't stay
pregnant long, I didn't take many of them. They don't
expire until 06/2009, so I took one today. Hopefully
getting back on the vitamin will help restore some of my
lost energy. I don't think I've ever felt this rundown in
my entire life.
Helena left this morning. It was sad seeing her go. She
really was great having around (and not just because of
everything she did for me). We have good conversation and
sometimes when you're alone with children a lot, adult
conversation can be such a pleasant diversion. I'm not
sure if I expressed my gratitude to her enough and what do
you give a person that can get themselves anything they
want? She's not flying home until the 18th (she's visiting
her best friend in Federal Way, Judy), but when she does
get home, I'm going to send her a very heartfelt e-mail. I
don't express my emotions as well through the spoken word
as I do through writing. I'll thank her again that way.
Snookums is in port right now, so I got to talk with him
tonight. It's always great hearing his voice. Being
separated from him reminds me of how much I love him and
appreciate him. Not to be cliche, but absence really does
make the heart grow fonder in our marriage. I'm happy to
hear his voice every time he calls and I count each and
every day until we get to see each other again. Being a
military wife is exceedingly hard, but those glimmers of
happiness make it a little easier to bear. I look forward
to the day he comes home for the last time. The day I meet
him on the pier and know that it's the end of our
separations forever. That's going to be a beautiful
moment. It's 9 years away, but I'm already dreaming of
the day :)
I need to go out tomorrow. Snookums wants me to get a
cover for the Toyota. It's sitting under a large tree the
crows like to congregate in and with birds comes their
excrement. Helena had only been here 10 minutes when it
got pooped on the first time and since then it's been
bombed quite a few more times. So, I need to get it washed
and then I'll cover it. He didn't care so much about the
truck, but he cares about his new baby :) Men and
vehicles. What did they obsess about before cars? Probably
their horses.
I need to go to bed now. It's after midnight and if I'm
going to have any hope of getting anything done tomorrow I
need as much sleep as possible. Even though I'm getting
more than required by most healthy adults, it's still not
enough. Ciao.
