As The World Turns...

All I can do is try not to fall off into oblivion. I am so glad tomorrow is Friday. I will get off work at 3 PM for my annual exam. Yeah! I'd rather have my insides prodded than be at that place. I guess it's not so bad, but that statement is true. I only took the last 3 hours off so I go to lunch for an hour from 1-2 and my appt is at 3:45. I will have some time to get some stuff accomplished before I go.
I had an ok day. I didn't "hear" from my husband today. I miss his voice and now that I've had a taste of Skype, I miss seeing his face. But I did get 4 amazing cards containing letters in the mail today! Thanks honey! You are always there for me, even half a world away!
I realized today that I forgot to include something in husband's box. Just hope he can deal without til next time. I am seriously trying to get some stuff accomplished. It's happening, I guess, slowly but surely.
I changed my mind about the FSA. I dropped it to 1,000.00 a year. I can't guarantee we'll spend the 2,000.00 I originally opted for but since we have a 700.00 deductible this next term, so we'd only have 300.00 to make up and surely we'd do that. I hate this stuff. I was so spoiled by our old contracts. This sucks. We have to meet the deductible, then we pay 10% of the remaining cost of the visit to the doctor until we reach 1,000.00 out of pocket, then everything is covered at 100%. Ugly. Just hope all of us stay healthy next year. And hope we don't have another deployment baby! :)
I did get excellent news. The NACCRA group is going to pay 50.00/child toward my daycare bill each month. Not anywhere near what I was hoping for, but I'll take it! That'll cover at least one or 2 other utilities or an extra car payment each month. So, I'm excited! It's a lot of paperwork and stuff but I guess it's worth the trouble.
Cold weather is coming in. Supposed to be worse tomorrow than today. I think it was like 38 degrees when I got home from work. Brrr. This is hubby's weather, not mine. I missed my Private Practice TV show tonight because I was on the phone with HP trying to get the printer to work in the bedroom for the paperwork and with Time Warner, trying to get the kids PC to work. This evening has just been tiring. We ate left over spaghetti and a 5.00 pepperoni pizza from Lil Caesars for dinner. I was just beat!
They are finally replacing the carpet at 2401! Hubby, you know how long that carpet has been there! So we have to remove everything from the floor before we leave tomorrow and take home our breakables. So, I must remember to bring home my beautiful roses! They have started to open up and you can still smell them from several feet away. I must say I have been extremely pleased with this most recent delivery. It was beautifully arranged. The flowers all bloomed at the same time. They smell spectacular. They are amazing. Thanks so much, baby! You know my heart.
I signed up for the 12 days of Whataburger free gift offer. Tomorrow's is a free breakfast taquito. Too bad I probably won't be able to get there before I go in in the morning. So we shall see what the next day has to offer. This will be a good thing, counting calories sometimes, you know.
Saturday Elliebear has her Christmas concert at the local high school. I wish hubby was able to hear her play, she's getting better. But still sounds like a beginning 5th grader who doesn't practice enough. :)
I am glad to be keeping busy. It makes the time go by faster. Need that! Brings me closer and closer to touching my husband again.
