irene is gone again. 🙁 waiting for her to call to tell me she got home safely. she forgot all her movies! i feel bad that we have them here. hopefully, we’ll go visit her at her new house and take them back. she’s not worried about getting them right away and doesn’t want me to mail them out.
we had a nice day of yoga and shopping yesterday. i only got a brown henley style shirt and some undies for myself but it’s something. i looked high and low for decent lingerie and found nothing. i usually buy something cute to wear for dennis when he returns. irene said i shouldn’t give him positive reinforcement if i don’t like him going away anyway! lol. she’s right. why reward him for leaving me for 9 days? we played some scrabble and watched TV. just nice hanging out stuff.
i have friends who live no more than 10 minutes away and no one came to visit me, even though they know dennis is gone and one said she might. irene came from 3 hours away. anyone want to take a guess at who my real friend is? i haven’t called u.v. to see what she’s up to; she doesn’t know dennis is gone so she can’t be blamed but my other friends can.
sunday is the day!! i have a crop to attend and then dennis will be home. i’ve been amusing myself reading books (when irene wasn’t here) and with the internet and playing with sawyer. we’re surviving but i really realize how much i love dennis and how much i need him here with me. i wouldn’t survive anything happening to him. i don’t live well without him. i’m so worried about him and want him home safely now!!
i dyed my hair after irene left. it’s nice to have it back to blonde. it’s been mostly dirty blonde roots lately. so yucky. much better now. 🙂
i think i’m going to go read for a bit. then we’ll have supper. sawyer will be off to bed and i’ll be on my own again. ugh. alone. lonely. ugh.
anyway, i’m reading "a tree grows in brooklyn"…only part way through and definitely a "yes" book!!!

I don’t think many people realize how freaking LONELY it can get when your ‘SO’ is away..so maybe they don’t think to visit…blah! Glad you had fun tho!

Can’t wait to see the hair pics! Man, I forgot you don’t drive – that sucks even MORE. You can’t even go out for a spin to break the monotony – not that you’re monotonous; hope you get what I mean 🙂 I need to read that book, too. I’m STILL on The Lovely Bones, though. Takes me forever to read a book these days.

OMG I loved “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.” I listened to that last year I think, right before the holidays. You’ll love it 🙂 LOL@rewarding Dennis for leaving…you could always view it as bribing him NOT to leave…

Thanks for your thoughts on the Clear Blue Easy pregnancy test. Why do you feel Medicaid where I live will most likely let me use their ride service having Medicare as my primary health insurance? Why don’t you feel my mom is being patient but you don’t think she is being mean either. I guess in a way you are right that you think she just wants me to buy a test or go to the doctor and find out whether or not I am pregnant. I do know a home pregnancy test is cheaper for me than to see a doctor since I would have to pay a Medicare deductible that is $100 something. That is good if I am scared you feel that is okay. Why do I have to find out if I am pregnant or not pregnant? If I get my period again than I know I am not pregnant. Oct 27, 07 is when I had my last period. Well it wasn’t really a period. I just spotted. I mean there was some blood, but not enough to go into the toilet. So I don’t know if the spotting could be called a period or not. I hope you are not mad at me after you read this note. I mean for not getting a pregnancy test done or going to see a doctor. If I only had to pay lets say less than $10 to see a doctor I might feel ok going to one.

It’s a shame more people didn’t visit. Did you invite them to get together? I’m glad Irene made it. I would’ve been lonely too. If your husband is missing you, you could be wearing sweats and he’d still be excited to see you! And sweats are more comfortable, so i think you have your answer (haha).

ryn: yeah i get the pee response too. That’s more typical for me. The throwing up is a completely new and unwelcome response to stress – it’s only happened twice. Well – three times (a long time ago).

RYN: no rush girl! 🙂

If I lived 10 minutes away…even if I lived THREE HOURS away I would have come to see you. Sadly, I just don’t think I could swing 9 hours though. Your other friends really should be ashamed of themselves. That’s one book I’ve never read but always wanted to 🙂 kristen
