Woke up this morning to realizing I left all my windows open and freezing, which caused me to get sick over night. Michias and I were cuddled close together so I didn't notice how cold it was til I got out of bed. The landlord called this morning to complain about something (yet again) that doesn't matter and I wanted to punch him in the face for waking me up. For once, the kids were still asleep and yet, the landlord has to wake me. The bastard. I really hate him. He never pulled this shit when my ex lived here. He seems to think that I have to bow down to his way, HA! Never gonna happen.
Yesterday, the kids and I went downtown and although our mission failed, we did manage to have a good time watching the Italy-Paraguay game, where my American radar must have gone off because I sat there for an hour talking to a guy from Alaska. We laughed about how ironic it was that in Canada, we would find eachother watching a game in the same place and time. I told him how I rarely ever go downtown and he told me that he only came in for the UFC match. It was fun, I wish I could remember his name, but alas, I forgot, not that it matters. It was still awesome to talk to another American face-to-face again. We exchanged our stories and theories on Canada and Canadians. At the end of the game, (which was a draw) we said our good-byes, I wished him luck with his flight back and he wished me luck in the Army.
When I finally got home, after pushing the double-stroller all day, it finally hit me how tired I was. I took off my shoes and looked around myself and decided that the mess could wait til today. Already I have managed to clean the majority and have a little left to do but I'm pleased with myself. I may be sick but I have gotten alot done. (Except the bleach smell from removing crayon from my wall has made me sick to my stomach several times.)
I talked to my Captain last night for only a little while. We were both exhausted by our days and exchanged stories, laughed a bit at each other's, then wished eachother sweet dreams. I didn't fall asleep like I'd planned and instead watched Desperado and Hide, two movies I bought months ago from the cheap-bin and never opened. It was time for something I hadn't seen in a while and something new. He and I both excited about his visit. I have every intention of baking him a cake when he comes to celebrate his birthday early. His birthday is mere days after he arrives in Afghanistan :( Not cool, but I can make sure he gets a little happiness to remember on his birthday. I also am making a CD for him full of our favorite songs (which, low and behold, almost every one of mine are one of his.) I can't wait til he's here. Only a few days but we'll be together and that is all that matters to me.
I am getting a carepackage from Iraq any day now as well as one from Belgian and possibly one from Germany. I love having so many friends all over the world. I wind up with the coolest things and it makes me happy to know that people 6000 miles away think about me enough to send me love... <3
Well, i am going to go, I just desperately needed a break and since it's only noon, the ability to call him is nonexistant. He's preparing for deployment and my minutes don't free up until six... just six more hours til I hear his voice....
