Day 61

Wow 61 days. That’s like 2 months. We’re 15% of the way done.
I heard from Aaron yesterday and sounds like things are ok. It’s just really hot over there.

I’m feeling in better spirits today. This week has been fraught with poor sleep and bad dreams – I tried retail therapy midweek, but not even a trip to buy Baman Legos, a web cam, and the Kid Rock CD could cheer me up. In fact, Batman Legos hasn’t even come out of the packaging. It’s still sitting the bag on the dining room table…That will change tonight. Today is Friday and I will have a fun weekend. Army Wife Amy is coming up for BeerFest so we have a dinner date tonight. I’m excited – I get to drink Fitger’s beer and talk to another human being. It’s not like I don’t talk to people during the day, but for the most part I stare at my computer screen and clickity-click on my keyboard. I talk a lot when I get home, Bagely is a great listener – he just doesn’t hold up his part of the conversation. He just looks at me with his big brown eyes and cocks his head to one side and pretends to look smart. When he thinks I need a hug, he climbs up on my lap and rests his on my shoulder. It really is quite cute.

However, some of the other habits he’s picked up since Aaron left have not been so cute. He’s a bed hog. He has his own bed on the floor. (it’s a nice one, and it smells good since it stuffed with cedar chips and fiber fill – I also wash the cover ever two weeks too) He lays down on it until I shut the lights out and climb into bed, then he hops up and jumps up on my bed. It starts out cute enough with him curled up in a little ball at the end of the bed, but I usually wake up to him trying push me off the bed as he sprawls out and makes himself more comfortable. It’s something we need to work on – because when Aaron gets home, its back to the floor for Bagley.

Oh and thanks for the comments - I figured you were all out there being closet readers :D

That’s really all I have for now.

339 days to go.
