Hey Gatherererererers!
There are only 35 days OR LESS until hubby gets out of the clink! I absolutely CANNOT believe it. It feels completely surreal... I remember the day he went in. It was horrible. I can't believe we have gotten through all of this time starting on September 12, 2008.
Ever since I moved away to be in the state where hubby and I will live for the 6 months of his house arrest, I have been feeling pretty bored and lonely. For the most part, I keep busy with work and getting the house in order... But, on days like today, when it has been raining all day long and I have the day off, I just wish that I had some company. I wish that I had a friend near to talk to or just spend time with shopping or hanging out.
My kitties just aren't the kind of company I'm craving right now... LOL! I guess that means that I'm not a TRUE crazy cat lady yet!
Hubby and I have an honor visit on June 28, and we are both really looking forward to that. It's a 2-hour visit where I can bring him food and drink from the outside. We can kiss and hug and hold hands during the visit. :) I'm so glad that we made the decision not to do visits behind glass. I'm actually relieved that I will never have to have the image of him behind plexiglass...
There is only a little over a month until he is home, and I think these last weeks are going to be the hardest. We are both starting to get really antsy and impatient!
Tomorrow I'm headed over to the Verizon store to pick up my new cell phone and hopefully pick one up for him, too, so it will be here waiting when he gets home. I also have to walk the trash over to the dumpsters and get some cat litter. I'm also working from 3-8 p.m. and then 10 p.m.-1 a.m. So, I'll have a full day. I'm actually looking forwad to it!!
What is everyone else doing tonight and tomorrow?

I'm glad for you that he will be out and home soon. I don't have any special plans until Saturday. My sister wants to go furniture shopping in Chicago and want me to go with her. So...road trip!
you are almost there sweet heart,,,, just thin you will be happy and he be in your hair making your skin crawl in 50 yrs from now,,
i know, steph... i just keep telling myself that he'll be home soon and getting on my nerves again! LOL!
Hopefully the last days will speed by. Try to find some new project to work on. Being idle will make the time pass more slowly.
Good to hear from you ,Jessica .You gonna' make it ,shug ! It''ll be here before you know it.
Not really sure what I am doing tomorrow, to be honest. Glad you are getting used to the new place though, and once hubby is home you won't miss not having friends around.
Wow, time really IS flying!!! I've been following your countdown since the 114-days-to-go visit, or something along those lines.
Please pop in and let us know ALL ABOUT THAT HONOUR VISIT! I'm so excited for you. I can't believe the way the time is flying.
As for what I've been up to, Walker had a little emergency with one of his eye (glaucoma) and some bleeding that caused a big massive headache. I wrote about it in an article about how being legally blind is good for business, since our eye doctor bought some of our books from us, and we made a few bucks.
Tomorrow we have an emergency appointment with an opthamologist to get the bleeding looked at, and fixed. We are so lucky to have wonderful helpful people here in Guelph willing to help us out, since Walker's not covered under my Canadian health insurance (which every citizen is born with!!!) Our doctors are SO SWEET, helping us out where they can, and buying books from us to help with our income.It's so GREAT!
Tomorrow we're going to go to the other appointment, and I'm probably going to spend a lot of time sleeping, because my stupid sinuses have crapped out on me.
I had some redness in one of my eyes, and it watered like a fountain, so our doctor gve me some drops and wipes for them. It's actually handy that if we have to have a challange, that we have problems with the same part of the body. LOL Though our challenges are different (mine's neurological, and his is glaucoma) both being legally blind, we can understand eachother, and we have doctors that can help us both at once.
We know some GREAT people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for you being lonely, I totally know what you're talking about. When Walker was working in AZ, and i was up here, I knew that feeling. I band-aided the problem by living in the coffee shop up the street. *grin*
leah, i hope yours and walkers' peepers are feeling better soon! that's great that you made a few bucks off of it, though! Thanks for paying attention to my countdown... it's nice to know that there are people out there cheering me on! :)
18 months......
good golly.........
I really hope time flies by this next month.........
I do what I do.....
same stuff different day..............
Not much longer to go! ***HUGS*** I'm just cleaning house tonight... thinking about working tomorrow. :D
Hang in there honey! Not much longer. I know it seems like a long time, but try to keep yourself busy and time will pass quickly.
It is good that you get to see him soon.
Well yesterday I packed all day and loaded the uhaul. Today I move!
omg, marianne! you go girl! move move move!!
Enjoy your "honor" visit and before you know it he will be out and you will be spending lots of time together......No special plans for today or the weekend, just the usual stuff.
I know that feeling you're going through about loneliness...in a city with a million people and no one to talk to. My kitty isn't too great on conversation, either. I go out looking for others to chat with, but you can't make people talk if they don't want to...and I'm a stranger to them. I can't afford to visit cafes all day waiting for someone to respond, so I sit home alone. Many days, the only contact I have with the 'outside world' is here on Gather. As extreme as it sounds, if I was locked up; at least I'd have others to talk to face to face.
Rob, I keep telling my hubby that! I mean... many days, I don't leave the apartment... simply because I don't want to spend the gas money or just don't want to go somewhere alone... so, a lot of days the only human contact i have is over the phone... or right here on the computer... I tell him that at least he has 79 other guys in his pod to talk to all day long! LOL! Small comfort for him, but I'm oddly jealous!
No special plans.
thanks for sharing
You are down to the wire! What phone are you gonna get? I can't decide if I want to go all out or just stick with what I have. I like my chocolate, but would like a QWERTY keyboard.
Moving to a new city is always hard and lonely at first. Time will fly though and you will meet people soon:)
I am going to lunch today with mom. Later, Art's oldest daughter is coming over and we are giving her her new car. She hasn't seen it yet, so I am excited. Come to think of it, we haven't seen her since before we moved, so I am excited for her to see our new abode too! Murphy will just be excited to see everyone. He is easy to please.
gwen! i have a chocolate, too! I actually went into the verizon store today and found out that only one of us on the plan can get the "free" phone upgrade. grrrrrr! i was hoping to get hubby a phone for when he comes out, but i guess i'll just have to wait until he's here to help out and to choose one... to be honest, i got REALLY overwhelmed trying to pick a phone! LOL!
couldn't he use your chocolate and you get a new one? Hey, it would be new to him, lol.
My stepdaughter has the Blackberry Storm. It is cool, but I rather have a mini keypad as opposed to the touch screen. That and I am not sure that I want to starting paying more by getting a data plan. (ChaCha works well when I need info on the go)
You are right, too many choices. I want a blingy cool phone, but justifying it is a whole 'nother thing.
Hopefully the days will fly by. :o)
Wow, how exciting!!! I am so happy for you both! Time flies hun... keep busy and 35 days will pass before you know it!
Try not to be lonely, the time will fly ,he will be home very soon . - I have have no plans as usual :( I lead such a boring life lol
Hang on!!! Time is nearly up!
hang 10~!
He'll be home soon. I can imagine how difficult evrything is for you right now - so close, and yet...
These last few weeks will be dragging not only for you but for your hubby too.
Have fun on your honor visit but be good while at it. ;p
Take care of yourself and don't work too hard. ;)
Finally down to the last stretch! Hopefully work is taking your mind off of being lonely. Just remember that while we are all far away, we are right here :)
hang in there girlie, let hub pick his own phone if he wants one.. he will want choice and control of some things when he gets out!
