I am in such high spirits today! For a number of reasons, really... but I don't think I've felt this good about anything until now. Especially since Daniel left. One of my top reasons I'm so giddy right now is because I got to talk to him last night!!! Usually (or well, after last weeks call) I expect to be completely overwhelmed and depressed after his phone calls...but hearing how excited he was about the letters I had sent him, hearing how much he wanted to show me around base, just hearing how much BETTER he sounded made my heart feel full. :) I also was informed that we tend to write letters to each other around the same time at night. That made me happy. Its like we're spending time together even though we're apart. He sounded so much better last night than on Christmas Day. He was more animated, more excited to hear my voice, just so much more in control. I felt SO MUCH relief after that phone call. He wasn't sick anymore, he was actually kinda enjoying himself (weird, right?!?). He said he lived for my letters! lol and that he was sad when mail came and there weren't any for him. :( which is sad because i mail out a letter a day... in hopes that he'll get at least something every day. Oh well, i have no control over the USPS. I am also giddy because he said he sent out the "Spouse Paperwork" a few days ago and that he put a little something in there for me...no telling what it is.... but i am SOOOO ready for that to come! He also informed me that he has tried to write me every day. :) So i should have quite a bit of mail coming this week seeing as I've only actually recieved 1 letter from him in the 16 days he's been gone. lol. The spouse paperwork means I can go get my DoD card (spouse military id). :D
Another reason for this happiness is that I started Weight Watchers yesterday. :P I have officially jumped on the bandwagon. I need structure, and that allows me structure. Plus, I finally had the money AND the tools (iPhone) to make it easier to do. I LOVE the scanner app. I looked like an idiot in target this morning, but I love Love LOVE it. I also enjoy being able to update my tracker from my phone. :) its nice. But i'm so excited. I got a 3 month membership. I'm also going to the gym again. (oh how i've missed it!) Im gonna start back easy this week (only 30 min on elliptical) and then once I get back in the groove (from the holidays and getting my work schedule back in order and all taht), then I'll start working back up to an hour. I'm glad I only did 30 this morning--I was DYING after that. lol. goes to show you what laying around being lazy and being sick can do to you. I used to be able to do an hour and not feel winded at all when i got off. Holy crap. I shouldn't have allowed myself to go so long without doing it. haha. I also plan on implementing some light weight training once I am no longer working. Its easier right now to just do the cardio, but once I have some extra time, I'll start scheduling my cardio/weight lifting days. I also plan to start swimming again. eventually. Another one I miss. lol. Surely 30 minutes of elliptical is better than none, right? I feel like I'm failing if i do anything less than 60 minutes, but I know everywhere else states that 30min/day 3days/week is a good starting point. (even though i've started a lonnnnggg time ago...haha). I just idk. i guess cuz i've done an hour so often I just feel like 30 minutes isn't gonna do anything.
As far as surviving without my husband? I'm doing alright. A lot better today than the past 2 weeks, thats for sure. 6 weeks and a day until I get to see him again. It cannot come fast enough. I am so thrilled about how excited he is to see me. He said that he sees Airmen on their graduation day while they're doing PT or going to various appointments on base and they are escorting their families/wives/ect around base showing them and all he can think of is "I HATE YOU!" lol. he apparently wants me there as much as I want to be there. Good. As well it should be. hahahaha. anyways. well I need to go start getting ready for work. Just thought I'd update you guys. Back to the grind. Back to reality. yuck
