When Did I Ever Have Such A Great Nights Sleep?

I appreciate good sleep just as much as I loath bad sleep, and last night was GREAT!

My personal sleeping pill.

AND IT'S ALL THANKS TO JAMES BEING BACK IN CHICAGO! Yes, James arrived last night pretty late, but I felt so amazingly peaceful once we were together again that I had the best nights sleep ever.

So his schedule for today is/was:

• James goes to the recruiter office to talk to the Officer.
• James has his appointment for tomorrow at MEPS confirmed.
• Tonight James will stay at a hotel.
• Tomorrow morning, James will go and get his MEPS stuff finished.
• Hopefully from that, we get offered the contract right away Thursday.

I'm in my optimistic zone right now, and I know James is all good to get passed.

Look how good I look after sleep!

So tonight I have to go and buy NEW pants for my costume because the ones I got are too big on me and look funny with the corset over them. I'm already going out with my mom to her physical therapy after work, so it's on the way. Busy days leading up to C2E2, but I'm expecting good news all around! Wish my husband luck!

When Did I Ever Feel So Angry?

Thanks for dealing with my radio silence again yesterday. There are a few things going on this month I"m juggling, but yesterday the most stressful stuff happened. I'll explain.

1. James and I were tired of waiting for MEPS to call back (3 weeks) and we booked him a flight to Florida to continue his Navy process there.
2. He told his recruiter office this was happening.
3. James left yesterday in the morning to Florida. (Cue crying)
4. Around lunch time a Navy Officer called me looking for James. He had been on vacation a few weeks, and was only able to get back to us today, of all days.
5. Navy Officer says James can go back to MEPS. (proceed to scream)
6. Call my husband after his flight lands (and $200 later) that he never had to leave.
7. James's recruiter, Ross, claims to have been unwittingly unaware of everything.
8. We'll need to spend another $200 on a ticket for him to fly back to Chicago.

So there you have it. Frustration, Crying, Anger, Rage, Frustration, and so on. As you can imagine, James and I and beyond words on this subject. So many people dropped the ball here it's not even funny.

On a lighter note, I intend to watch Defiance (SyFy) which premiered this week but I didn't catch it. We'll see if I like it and I can add it to my weekly line-up of things to watch.

I could use some pick me up words of wisdom...

When Did I Wanna Be A Snake?

Did you meet my snake yet? Her name is Anguila. She is a pale pink corn snake. Adorable.

She's a pretty active little thing, and she has a healthy appetite for baby mice. She is also blissfully unaware that James was not passed by MEPS for his physical. Yeah. I wish I was her.

When Did I Get So Nervous?

Hope your Tuesday has been going as dandy as a Tuesday can be. We're almost at the middle of March, and the whole year in general has been whizzing by me...

So, James is in a hotel tonight waiting for Wednesday morning's glorious physical. It's a little strange spending the night alone, but then I think about spending months without James, and this one little night isn't so bad. I'm probably going to have a hard time getting to sleep since I'll be thinking about what's going to happen at the MEPS Station. Plus, the new layer of terror is if James is given the okay for his physical, he then has to see if the job he wants is available for him to go to boot camp right away. Don't even want to think about it.

But in other more cheerful news, Andrea from The Walking Dead is going to be attending C2E2! I'm pretty stoked to see her. Her character has been getting a bit of flack this season, but I'll make sure to give her a big hug and tell her "I know that feel." Carl's actor is coming too, but all I wanna tell him is "Why aren't you in the house, Carl?"

Other than that, there isn't much news on my end...does anyone wanna cuddle with me tonight?

When Did I Ever Feel So Excited?

Superfantasticallyawesome news everyone! No, I didn't discover a way to eat all I want and never gain weight. Also, I didn't win the lotto, although I certainly wouldn't mind that...

What does this mean? That means that Wednesday morning, James is gonna get his OFFICIAL physical from MEPS, and once they give him the "okay", he gets to sign a contract for the Navy! I can't even tell you how so crazy awesome I feel right now, and James is on another planet happy.

So keep your fingers crossed boys and girls, the fate of a would be Sailor is in MEPS hands.
