it's late, and i should be asleep as tomorrow is a 4am start...it's a short day though, then pizza time...i still need to gather clothes and stuff, too..make sure i don't have to iron my uniform again...meh. my dr appointment went pretty well today. i brought up a few concerns i've had lately and actually got a few answers. me a1c is still a bit steep but improving. i also found a dress for angela and mario's wedding for $23, which is great. despite the extra weight i'm still carrying, it looks pretty good! if ryan's going to be dressed up and handsome, the least i can do is wear a pretty dress. hah.

i'm not looking forward to work tomorrow. lately i can't fart without having to explain why to my supervisors. i know my job. please back of and let me do it instead of making me take time after time out of my work to explain why i did this or why this looks like this. i'm not doing anything wrong, and i'm not going to take even MORE time to write down the fact that i did my job. after that it's a double on sunday and a bunch of other days of OT i'm sure.

anywho, bedtime for me...at last.

So, I've been here since Wednesday, and this is the first time I've been on my blogs. I did end up bringing the laptop, I just haven't felt much like updating. We got here on a long direct flight that stopped in two other cities before finally planting us in Dallas. The van driver took us to the wrong hotel, and once we got to the proper hotel we didn't have reservations! I did, however, score my own room. I spent the last three nights looking for someone to share it with, though, with not much luck. Wednesday night we stayed here and ordered Chinese food. I was a little disappointed at the bell peppers they put in my General Tso's and the CORN in my egg drop soup...ugh. Classes went well, albeit a bit slow. I really like the new system, but deployment day is going to be a mess, methinks. Thursday night I thought about going out, but we decided on Friday, so I stayed in and we drank by the pool. Yesterday I waited and waited and...oh, waited some more for the shuttle with no luck. The cute girl at the desk bought me a drink and gave me a $20 voucher for dinner for waiting almost 2 hours before i gave up and ordered a pizza. Tonight was just too damned hot. We might go out, we might drink some more by the pool like we have been all week. I refuse to be the one who ends up IN the pool tonight, dammit! We all went for dinner at a Chinese Buffet, which was yummy and free (thanks, Rick!). No company tonight, apparently. I had a girl who was supposed to come over and hang out, but she hasn't called me...oh yeah, that's right...ATT shut off my service today, so I wouldn't know if she had...sonofabitch!

I'm having a hell of a time getting the days off for Angela's wedding. My free day bid struck out...I didn't even get my fucking birthday off. So, I'll be here. I don't really think we can afford to do anything anyway. We're so beyond broke right now. It's my 25th, and I'd LIKE to do something for it...but eh. I guess we've got our vacation in September, and maybe a new beardie in October.

I set up the bedroom grid last night. I'm not sure if I slept better, but I was slightly less gretsy. I did, however, panic attack right before sleep, right after "bed", right in the middle of...well, you get it. I hate when that happens. :( All day yesterday I couldn't keep my blood suagr above 100. I've adjusted my basal today, but I was high this morning as a result of ripping my site out on the train (literally...I leaned against the seat and the corner rubbed the site right out of me...ouch!) If it doesn't work, I need to adjust some other t hings...I don't want to be sick in DAL.

Tomorrow is DAL. I may or may not have computer access. Ryan might let me take the lappy, but I'm debating whether or not I just need the time away from it all. Tonight I'm setting up t he Etsy shop for our bath fizzies and salts. We need a banner, so I didn't get it done last night. I also need to pack, and Ryan's mom is being nice enough to guy us some groceries.

I'm always sure I have something interesting to say when I start these things...I've just been so BLECH lately...My main concern at the moment is money...but where is it going to come from? It's just not.

to know where to begin i'd have to know where i left off...but that's probably not going to happen, since as soon as i'm done here i'm going to coma. we've spent since monday cleaning and building and shoveling.. in the end we have a (mostly) clean home with (almost) a place for everything and a new blue bookshelf we built from the planks we dug out of the back yard. last night's gathering went pretty well aside from burning myself and the part about not sleeping much before work today (which explains the imminent coma). i got through yesterday pretty well, better than the last few anyway. i was a bit gretsy and depressed all day, but ryan was extremely patient and understanding. he bought me roses and gave me lots of kisses. having other things to do helped too. we talked about my mom a little, and i felt a little better about things. man, 12 years goes by fast. i'm still a little out of sorts, but i'll get over it. it's a lot of not feeling well, not sleeping well, being stressed out, and just the general feelings this time of year. there are a few new issues this year, but we'll get through it.

half day tomorrow, dallas wednesday...sleep now...

yesterday was a half day...why? because i left my backpack at the damned chinese food place the previous night
and they didn't open until 11am yesterday...luckily i didn't get in trouble for it...yet. after work ryan and i worked on some things around the house in preparation for next week. i made dinner, and we watched enchanted before heading to bed. today i had off so i got a bunch done in the living room. we're supposed to be adopting froggies from a girl on Craigslist, and we've been looking at beardies. We probably won't get one until the fall, but we've been looking for one that may need a new home first. I REALLY want a new beardie. :(

tonight we're going to the phillies game with ryans family. should be fun. we can't really afford to eat there, but we'll work it out. tomorrow is a 4am day and sunday is a 5am, but then i've got 4 days off...excellent. i'm still hoping someone will come through for me for friday but it doesn't look hopeful. fuck.

ok enough of this...time to gather clothing for game...
