Last day of National Blog Writing Month and while I missed a few days, I don’t think I did too badly. I could have done a lot worse. Meh. 
Robby gets home tomorrow and I am ecstatic. I have missed him so much. It’s too bad my body decided to spite the both of us and Aunt Flo came knocking when I woke up this morning. Freaking figures right? Couldn’t even hold out until Wednesday. LAME. Oh well. ‘Tis life I suppose.
I managed to get the last 3 hours of my shift covered tomorrow so I’m only working until 5:00pm and then the rest of the night will be Robby and I time, which is much needed. I do not do well with him being gone, which is kind of funny because I have never been that way before. 3 hours before he’s on a plane back to the United States. He lands in Houston at 1:25 CST, has an hour lay over and then lands in Phoenix around 4:30ish. So flipping excited.
Well I think I’m going to call it a night, watch a movie and crawl into bed. This time of the month, especially during the beginning always manages to exhaust me. My babes is home tomorrow. I couldn’t ask for anything more.

I almost missed today’s post because I was so busy working on Ecstasy, but thankfully I remembered. I missed last night’s because I was cleaning the house and the time got a way from me. The only thing I have left to clean is our bedroom which I’m going to do tomorrow night and then Tuesday afternoon Robby will be back in my arms again which I am so grateful for. I have missed him so much, I cannot even put it into words. It’ll be good to have him home, us apart just isn’t right. 
I wrapped our first two presents today. I really want to get Robby something that he doesn’t know about, but I don’t know what that could be. He’s so difficult to shop for that it’s hard to surprise him. I wish the man would invest in a wish list or something. It would make my job as a wife much easier. Oh well, I’ll just have to think of something, I guess.
Hah, I’m excited for work tomorrow and not because well it’s work, but once it’s over then that means I’m only a few hours for seeing Robby again so it’s definitely a catch 22. I requested the last part of my shift off on Tuesday so I can spend that time with Robby. He’s going to be exhausted I’m sure so we’ll probably just cuddle and watch a movie or something. Aw just think about it gives me butterflies. I cannot wait.
All I know it’s been a crappy 8 days and I will be so glad to be in his arms again.

It’s been a long day. I don’t know why I thought it was a good idea to stay up until 3:00am to work for four hours, go to bed for a total of 5 hours, and then work my regular 6 hour shift. I think because of that I ended up sick, so now I’m in bed, miserable, with an aching throat, and not willing to move. Just ugh, really. I hate it. 
But at least today is Friday which means I have the next to days off, it’s just too bad I’m going to be spending those days cleaning.
I managed to grab season 7 of Smallville because it was no longer out of stock online, which completes my DVD shopping for the year. I also managed to hopefully grab Robby the Netbook he wanted for $180. I say hopefully because I am awaiting the e-mail, which I want receive until tomorrow indicating the order is ready for store pick up. I was so ecstatic when I saw it go back into stock online and then disappointed to find it was only available for store pick up and the stores in Phoenix did not have them. However, my persistence has paid off and a few minutes ago I checked again, just for the hell of it to discover it was showing in stock! I confirmed that inventory was showing two in stock, but that is assuming inventory is correct so I’ll find out tomorrow if they actually have it.
This concludes my Christmas shopping. Originally I was going to bother to put up a tree, but I figure, we have quite a few items coming in the mail, why not? Sure we know what they are but still, it would be fun. 
Besides, most who know me, know I hate surprises, and that I hate to wait to find things out, so this works out perfectly. Yes, I know I’m backwards but whatever. It’ll be fun to put the tree up with Robby when he gets home even if for some it seems silly since we know what we’re getting.
Well, I think I’m going to put in a movie and try and relax a bit. I’m determined to clean tomorrow so I should relax as much as possible now. It’ll be worth the effort in the end. I just have to keep telling myself that.

I’m bitter and frustrated and angry at the stupid text messages that I keep receiving from people wishing me a Happy Thanksgiving. Oh yes, I’m happy alright. Happy to be at home, alone, because my other half is half way across the damn world. Yeah, I am super happy. Not. So stop wishing me a happy day because it is not happy and every time I get a text message or an IM or a call wishing me a happy day, it just makes me that much more depressed, so how about you do me a favor and just STOP. Mmk?
In any event it’s so funny to think that a year ago, I was a complete mess, my marriage was in danger of crumbling, and I was so confused I didn’t know what to do. Now though, looking back, I can see how much I’ve grown, how much Robby has grown, and how hard we both worked to make it through the impossible for most. So this year, I think what I am most thankful for is our want to succeed and our realization that we shared something so incredible it wasn’t worth giving up on. I am so fortunate to have him and to have all my friends who’ve been there for through so much. So this is my thank you to the ones who were there when I needed them, the ones who stepped back to let me figure it out on my own, and to my husband, who despite my faults and my mistakes, has loved me more at my worse then he has at my best because it shows me that he loves me the most when it counts and when I need it. I am so lucky.
There, happy now? You got my thanks, now leave me the eff alone.

I do not know what is wrong, but regardless of how much sleep I get, I still wake up absolutely exhausted. What’s odd though is I’m not tossing and turning, it hasn’t taken me forever to fall asleep at night so I have no idea what it could be. Perhaps my subconscious is politely reminding me that Robby isn’t here by not allowing me to actually get rested. It’s bothersome, but I’m coping.
Today was much better than yesterday work wise. I got stuck again in e-mail which was perfectly fine with me after yesterdays fiasco. Today they have 5 voluntary time off slots available which isn’t as bad as before, but I have a feeling that will increase tomorrow. Our call volume was beyond dismal when I was on the phones, course that will probably change once Black Friday hits, but still it’s actually quite pathetic.
After my bath today I dug around until I found a clean Robby shirt and am now wearing it because it smells like help which helps a little. We talked yesterday for 3 1/2 minutes, which cost us $3.25 but it was worth every cent because I needed it. Tomorrow is Wednesday and this week feels like it is dragging. I have Thursday off because of Thanksgiving, joy, get to spend that alone, and then Friday I am work 3am-7am and then 1:30pm-8:00pm. Why? Because I need the hours. This VTO shit is not working out.
Well, I’m off to go do something. What, I don’t know. I just feel so blah and I really am not up for doing anything– largely in part because my other half is halfway around the world and there’s not a damn thing I can do about.

Today has been a crappy day. Really crappy. It’s a bad day. First I nearly broke down because Robby is not here to do our normal Monday routine which is just wrong. It doesn’t feel right, you know? Even know just typing about it is making me teary eyed. Everything is just off. I don’t like it. =(
On top of that, apparently it was Black Monday at work today and I walked in completely unaware. Logged on to my phone and I start getting bombarded with sales calls. I had to put myself in Aux, hunt down my TL and ask her what the fuck was going on. Oh, it’s Black Monday. We’re helping Sales out they have 598 calls in queue. WHAT.THE.FUCK. It would have been nice to have been warned about this, you know, on Friday, so I knew what to expect? Instead nope, I spent 30 minutes in Aux, reading the documentation they sent out today. Not cool, not cool.
In any event, Friday is going to suck, but at least I won’t have to deal with sales calls and I have a feeling the majority of my calls will be transferred because people will be bitching about the long waits, etc, and I’m sorry but I don’t handle store complaints. *grins*
8 more days. I miss Robby. =(
