Until we meet again...
Jul. 7th, 2008 09:50 pmGoing home this coming weekend! In fact, leaving Thursday from work. Expect to be with my darlin' not later than 9pm, 7/10/8. That would be 71 hours from now. The countdown starts.
AND! Thomas thinks he will be comfortable coming back by himself!! YAY!! This is incredibly great for two reasons.
1. I get to stay home! It's been fun up here, but I'm starting to really miss Mark, and be a little homesick. And, I've just about worked my way out of a job. I've gotten lots of things taken care of, and now I'm just cleaning out old files to get drawer room. And answering phones, handling emergencies, etc.
2. Thomas is gaining confidence! He was definitely not willing to be up here by himself when this all started, June 1. I not only had to be in town, I had to be in the building. Then, he got used to me staying at the house. Now, he's so comfortable that I can be in another state. This is such incredible improvement in Thomas's abilities to function socially that I wouldn't believe it if I weren't here to see it.
and a bonus:
3. If I'm staying home to take care of them and make sure they get a good start in life, Thomas and I can actually buy fish to go in our Aquarium!! We bought plants last time we were home, and they've had time to take good root. So, fishies!

Countdown and Trivia
Oct. 10th, 2007 11:07 pm46 hours and counting down until the new episode of Blood Ties!
No more major shoes purchases in the last few days. Lots of time spent at UAH figuring out Mathematica. Russian was canceled this week.
Had PT on Monday and I'm supposed to go tomorrow, but they just make me run through the same exercises I've supposed to have been doing at home, then add one. I did them Monday and some on Tues, but I've been too tired today. I think I need a full week with them. I'm going to call and postpone until Monday.
We did all eat out at the new Rosie's on Monday night. Thomas and I were just driving home after about 3 hours in the Physics computer lab, and called Mark and he met us there. It was great.
I stayed up last night until 3 this morning, so I've been dragging. I actually took a nap after supper for about an hour. I won't be up that late tonight!
Tomorrow we go back to Christine's for Archery.
Oh, and after violin today, Thomas wanted to look at mandolins. His teacher was telling him how easy it is to learn for someone who can play either violin or viola, since all three are laid out and tuned the same(in fifths). Guitars are different. I need to make him get back on the piano some. Like I need to let him get started on another instrument now!!
