Morning campers.
How is everyone this morning? I am doing fine here. Do you know it is only 4 weeks till hubby comes home?? Talk about how time flies. And not always when you're having fun.. ;-) I am starting to get excited. I can't wait to have him home for good. well at least for a couple of years anyways.Of course he will be doing some traveling here and there but no long detachments.
I appreciate all of the kind comments regarding my last two entries. Amazing how therapeutic that was for me. It is very hard for me to open up like that but when I do it feels so good. Wish it wasn't so hard for me to talk about certain things. I strongly feel that I have blocked things from my past. Or changed them in my mind to help me deal with them. Part of me wants to find out what I have blocked and the other part tells me to leave well alone.
I have been quite busy. I have spent some time in the yard. Trimmed back all the hedges. Mowed the front lawn. Raked leaves. Felt good to get outside and do some physical work. My darn arms and shoulders have paid for it though ;-)
Have got some Christmas shopping done. While we are on the subject I would love the addresses of anyone who would like to exchange Christmas cards with me. Just email me and we can exchange information.
Work is getting busier and busier..and with that comes some stress..our new office manager is not 'catching on' as quickly as the dr's would like..we are a paperless office..no paper charts..everything is done via the computer..she is having a hard time mastering the program.. I feel so bad for her and I think the Dr's should send her for some formal training..they say it's not in the budget...things are tense again in the office and I just hate that... I try to make the most of the 2 days I am there...but you could cut the atmosphere with a knife... :-(
I see a few of the Journals are lisiting their 30 days of Thanksgiving..a nice idea...and exactly why I try to list my 5 good things on a daily basis..I find people can easily complain..they don't even have to think about it..but ask them to come up with a list of things they are grateful for it takes them a few more minutes...sad but true...
On that note I shall get to my five... have a great Thursday everyone...

Thank you so much for stopping by my journal :)
Thats wonderful news that your husband will be home soon. God bless him and all of our military!
I read your entries about your mom and I'm sorry for your loss. Sometimes it helps to write about it even though its really hard.
Have a great day!

I know how depressing those short deployments can be, but then again I also remember how exciting it was for the returns home! Writing is indeed good therapy! At least thats' what I have found. It's good for whatever ails you.

I hope the next 4 weeks go in quickly for you, and you can get some red hot Christmas lovin'!!
Have a great day.

I know what you mean about blocking out memories. I have chunks of my childhood missing. Only I don't notice until my sister asks me to remember something. And then I am stuck. Truly don't remember.
Thanks for reminding me to go pour my coffee!

aww so glad hubby will be home soon love Vicky :)
I know you cannot wait to have hubby home. And in time for the holidays too. I'm excited for you! I haven't been getting all of my alerts so I will have to go and check out what I have missed the past few entries. Thank you SO MUCH for stopping by my journal and visiting me.
i think you are mentioning a repressed memory in this entry and their is a reason we block it. We couldn't handle it and we would be crazy if we knew. I say, don't uncover it and go forward but I have to read the former entries to know for sure. If it's affecting the quality of your life, perhaps go tenderly into it and with someone you trust. Mine pop back up on an as needed basis.
Take care and I'm off the visit your other entries.

Ican remember when you were talking about ,him going now wow nearly over ,you've nearly done it well done ,love Jan xx
Its nice your husband will be home soon. Is it for good? Paperless office, how does it work, I beg you to tell me quick! We are surrounded by paper in our office and emails have made our lives hell. Hugs. Terry xx
I know you must hubby a lot. I would think the first few days would be nice and then it would just be a really long awful wait. You have been so patient and strong about him being gone. I never hear you complain. Hugs,
Lisa
I'm glad you wrote the last two entries sometimes the hardest things to talk about are the things we need to talk about the most.
I'm so happy your husband's coming home soon!
God Bless

GM Sunshine!
I'm late getting to your journal, sorry about that :).
I agree that id does take most people longer to think of the good. It seems they are always quick to think of the negative. I can't say that I'm NOT guilty of that!
So glad for you that hubby is going to be home soon. You must be thrilled! I admire you and your husband for being able to be apart and thank him from me for serving our country please :).
Your poor office manager. Going total paperless is not easy. I'm studying medical transcription and keep abreast of new AHIM technologies. I wish her luck. Maybe the AHIMA membership would help her? They have some really terrific "webinars" available that she can do at home and if you are a member, they're really priced reasonably.
Have a great day!
Huggers,
Gayla
