Almost time.

I know that the time Nick was gone is nothing compared to a deployment, but that doesn't necessarily make it easier. To a point, yes, cause you know they will be home at this specific time not too far off, but they are still not with you, and thats never easy.

But its almost over! Of course I am not at liberty to say when he is coming home, but its indeed sooner than later. I am pretty excited. 3 weeks. Not long. Not short. Glad its coming to an end.

This was our first TDY since we've been here. Which by the way, we've been here over a year now, crazy how time flies! Crazy. So being the first separation since moving here. I was nervous. Cause no family to keep me company, I mean last time he was gone, I lived with my dad. So that wasn't the same as now.

I am VERY thankful for my fur babies! This house would feel so very empty if they weren't in here with me. They are always there to love on and cuddle with when the time is going slow and the house feels lonely. As much as they are annoying at times, I wouldn't give them up for anything! Thats a fact!

I've been going to aerobics. I love it. Its nice when someone tells you what to do and you have to do it! I quit ER watching. Not cause I didn't like it. But just needed a change. I'll go back to it sometime. I can't wait to start cooking again. I have only used the stove twice since Nick has been gone. Sanwiches and cereal. Haha. But I love both so it works. I love cooking. But no point for just me.

Today, I came home, and the remote was gone and pieces of it were spread about, including one battery. I did indeed think Kaci {Kodi doesn't chew and she is a pup} ate the battery. I started freaking out. Tears and all. Only because I was of course thinking the worse...'what will the battery acid do to her stomach?....did she chew it or swallow it hole?...did she throw it up already?.... All the bad things of course. So I called our vet. He gives out his cell phone for this reason. I love it. He was a but nervous, but of course didn't say why..but I could tell. He wasn't in the area so he said to watch her and bring her in at 6p when he was gonna be back. Well I had already checked under the couch but decided to do so again, what did I find. The rest of the remote including the other battery!! BREATHE was what I had to do now. I was so relieved. Whew.

See. These are my babies. No joke about that. That was my action for today. Haha.

That is her favorite spot. Under the recliner. Wondering how many times I've smashed her?! Lots. Haha. Especially when she was tiny!
