I just caught myself literally singing "i can do my taxes! I can do my taxes!"
but dear god it took forever to get our hands on Alex's W2. Between the two of us we have 7 (thanks Mervyns for sending my another one) W2s and 1 1099 or something like that, wish me luck, this should be some interesting filing.

Let's see..
Well.. things haven't really gotten a whole hell of a lot better since last post. Found out that Alex will be leaving this weekend :( I really have no idea how I am going to handle that one..
My short term memory has gone to hell, I'm pretty sure I missed my insurance payment and I can't get myself to give a damn, walk to the kitchen, find the bill and pay the damn thing. I wrote a to do list for tomorrow. It's on there. Also have to find that solar panel for alex (since they'll only have 4 hrs of electricity a day. blech)and ship his care packages (he hasn't technically "left" yet and I have 2 boxes going out. But that should tide him over for at least a month, maybe 2 and i bought so much stuff when I went to the commissary today that I have enough left overs for a third box). Donating blood tomorrow at Kaiser. I've known for years that I should be a donor, I'm O- but always been too nervous/scared. Well nursing school took the fear of needles out of me and besides I bleed like a stuck pig. I will admit part of the reason that finally got me to go is Alex, the military is currently buying up stores of O- since it's the universal donor. Just kind of struck a chord with me that I would be saving someone, maybe not Alex (bc he better not need blood damn it!) or even someone in the military, but it would be someones spouse, child, sibling, parent.
I wish I could sleep.. but hey sleep is a crutch right?
Engagement pictures are looking AMAZING. I would highly recommend her to someone but on one condition, you have to be ok with looking fabulous! to paraphrase kristin, you could roll out of bed, forget you were having pictures taken, and never even brush your hair and she'd make you look amazing.

Well... This sucks..
So I always told myself that I'd try to use this blog to be therapeutic when the time came for Alex to leave, and way before I wanted it to, the time came. Last night my, my brother, and his sister, dropped him off at Oakland airport and I saw him, hugged him, kissed him, and cried all over him for the last time for 7 months. For those of you who don't want to count, that's November.
This past week with him home was a lot of fun though..let's see.. Monday... went to dinner with another Marine, and got lost in SF. Tuesday was corned beef and cabbage and car bombs at jimmys apt. Wednesday.. i had class, we checked into our new hotel room (OMG the W in newark is AMAZING) and went to becks. We also took engagement pictures that day, more on that when they come in. Thursday we went and saw Wicked, it was the bestest play EVER. Let's see.. Friday... Friday... what the hell did we do friday... OH hung out at the gun shop, then went out with another couple to dinner at claim jumpers and then to the shooting range. Saturday surprised alex with lunch with his family, and then later we went to the saddlerack with kristin, brian, jim, lindsay, johnny and... lindsays friend who i can't remember. Sunday we hung out at Lindsays and played Guitar Hero, Monday we exchanged Guitar hero because Alex broke the cymbal, had lunch with Mary Jane, and got a Wii, Wii fit and a bunch of other crap. Yesterday was pretty much spent with alex packing, updating his computer, etc.
I am numb.
I did the smart thing (old advice from Kristin) and got the good tissues. Because of course, on top of all this shit, I'm sick as well. phlegmy cough, can't stop blowing my nose, it really was to be expected though.
So this morning I woke up with a migraine, a stopped up nose, eyes so swollen I could barely see, and a broken network card in my laptop, so it is no longer wireless.
I just may get a net book.
I guess that's all for now. I will break down again soon, so stay tuned.
