No, I don't like this town. I guess I've never been excited about WI-sorry WCW! Although I do have a history of ending up hear on my butt until I can get myself together again. It happened in High School when I came to live with my grandmother because my mom and I were at each other's throats. It happened in college when I went to Washington D.C. for a summer internship that ended up falling through. I didn't want to go home for the summer so I ended up staying with my grandmother and commuting to Minneapolis for a different internship. And here I am again, this time because I WANTED to be close to my mom. But, it's just not the kind of place I'm used to. There's not a lot of diversity to keep me interested and alive in a place.
When I was in AK and H first left, he suggested that I take S3 and move to my mom's. At first I thought "no way, there's nothing there for me." But, as things started to look worse and worse with H and I got so scared, just having left my job and completely financially dependent, I decided to move here after all. I knew jobs would be easier to come by than anywhere else in the country I have family or friends. And I knew I would need some kind of help emotionally and logistically too.
Once I got a decent job and got my head together, my decision to stay here was based on the idea that S3 and I would try moving with H again to his next duty station in a couple years. Since that's been confirmed, it just doesn't make any sense for me to quit the job I just started a year ago, go somewhere new for a couple years, only to move again. It just made more sense to hunker down, get some more work experience to add to my education heavy resume and wait it out.
Luckily, anywhere H is likely to be stationed next will be by a large body of water. And that is a big attraction for me.
Well, it's time to get ready for work. I feel pretty cruddy and I spent yesterday evening with S3 at urgent care and the pharmacy. He must have been feeling pretty bad the last couple weeks and now he has all kinds of cold sores and his face has swollen a little. I think illness has A LOT to do with my bad PMA lately. S3 has medication and I'm hoping it will clear everything up and we can get back to a lower stress level. Wish I could just stay home today but I have an employee evaluation today (wahoooo!)so I gotta go face the boss.
I did do my first year of college at UW-RF when I moved from CA to live with my grandmother in WI. But, right now I'm working at UW-Stout, a few towns over.
ppsssttt - I saw my first robin today. Are you still buried in snow? And while I was leaning over the couch looking out the window to see the little birdy, H came up behind me, straining to help me see the robin... I won't hijack anymore. (this time)

Oh, please...hijack away. Atleast my thread will see some action.
I've been remiss in posting. I'm so freaking busy!
Nice to have those sweet little moments with H, isn't it? I hope he comes to his senses one of these days before he loses you, WCW.
As you know I was complaining about my H not calling me on your thread yesterday. Well, he called last night a couple hours after I posted. We had a pretty nice talk. It was mostly about money and investing and S3. I'm itching for some more intimate talk but don't know how to start it. And usually when he calls he's not in a private place. But, on the bright side, I am just amazed at how well we talk about money. It's good to be able to say that that's one issue we've usually been able to communicate about. And we're usually on the same page about it.
So cool! Now you know, next time you're wishing for a call, just come on over and whine on my thread...if it works - do it!!
So you had all sorts of good talk, except intimate. He's not in a private place to talk. How about email? intimate email? didn't you do that before with good results? When is his next visit home?

WWCW I've tried to post a reply to you twice. The first time I hit the return key and ended up losing everything. The second time I got all the way through, but I don't see anything...I don't have the energy or patience to repost. So, I'll get back to it later hopefully!
I read everyday. Just don't have much to say because I don't hear much from H, and when I do, it's hard to "connect."
Hey Opti, any chance you could take some time to bounce over to Support for Marital problem board and read up on Amethyst68? H is military, maybe you can pick up on something going on and could help a bit.
Hope things are okay with you. Just to rub it in, snow is all gone, and where there isn't mud it's turning green.
