This is the second day that I've not heard from my husband. I'm sure all's well, as he too is working diligently to prepare to meet me in Dubai. Nonetheless, I hate it when we don't communicate on a daily basis, as I'm always left wondering what's happening in his part of the world.
I finished all my packing last night and plan to take my suitcase over to the airport today to have it weighed to ensure I'm within weight restrictions. One would think that I'd be more excited than I am but instead I feel kinda indifferent. I always get this way when I feel bored with things in my life. Wondering if I'll receive my travel itinerary to Houston today, as most others due in Houston on Sunday have already received theirs.
Still haven't been able to make contact with my parents. I've been calling everyday now since Sunday and they're never home. The last time I physically saw them was on Friday night. They were playing bingo at a local establishment near a place where I pay my utility bill. It was good to see them both out having fun, especially Dad, as its been hard for him to just sit around since he was diagnosed as having suffered a slight stroke. Awwww, my parents and their bingo; oh well, guess it's what keeps them happy.
J seems to be coping well with my pending departure abroad. J is just J and the most important thing to him is his nintendo game and wrestling...*lol* However, I really do think that after I've been gone for about a month or so, he'll realize that things aren't really the same in the house without my being present. I think he'll miss me for a while and be really glad to see me come February.
Still not sure what exactly is going on with my daughters. They each seem to be in their own little world, and again I guess it's their way of coping with Mom leaving them on their own totally for the first time in their lives. But I know God is my husband and protector, so He'll do a wonderful job of making sure everyone I love is taken care of.
Well guess I'd better get up and handle today's business as I've got a few things to wrap up in relation to my leaving.
Okay, I finally received my travel itinerary to Houston today! Looks like I've got a late flight out of Tulsa, and only three more days to wrap up last minute details, visit with family and friends and take a good look around at my surroundings here in Tulsa. It'll be four months five months from now before I set feet back on Oklahoma soil.
Still no word from "O" today. I hate it when he fails to make contact with me because I never know what to think is happening from his end of the world. I took my suitcase by the local post office to be weighed and it looks like I'm within the limits of the weight restrictions. I've got all my stuff packed and I'm pretty much ready to go. I still have a few last minute things to handle like picking up medication, coloring my hair, getting ankle socks, getting postage on the package to ship my cell phone home and getting a polish change on my fingers/toes. If I'm going to be meeting my husband for the very first time then I want to be sure I'm looking like an African Queen...*smiling softly*
Its pretty much rained all day today here in Tulsa, and the rain and cooler weather makes me sleepy, especially since I've been up since 5:30ish or so. Talked with my parents today and they seem to be doing okay. Dad's still visiting the doctors and taking tests to determine if there are any other major problems with his health. Mom was surprised to learn that I'm deploying on Sunday. She thought that I wasn't leaving until sometime in November. They're added to my list of folks to visit with one last time before I fly out.
