30 days!

We are officially at the 30 day mark. Not sure if this is a good milestone or a bad one.. because I can look at it one of two ways.

1.) 30 days down, a whole month has gone by, 1/12th of the way through this damn deployment.
                                                             or
2.) 30 days? Son of a bitch! 11 more effing months to go!

So you see my dilemma. :) As you can tell I've been having mood swings.. although someone came up with the PERFECT word for it.. deploymones. So true!

Anyways, sent Randy out two more care packages which I think he will be very happy with. Lots of junk food, haha but delicious stuff that I know he will love! And that is all that matters. I just want him to be happy over there despite all the circumstances. I want him to know that he is very well loved and missed and there are lots of people that want him to come home safely. I hate that he is away. I hate that he is in a war zone. I want to know that he's going to come home to me safe and sound and just the way he left. I'm so heartbroken him being gone.. and I'm very stressed out. I have broken out with so many pimples lately! It's horrible. I look like a damn teenager.. and no matter how many times I wash my face it just seems to be getting worse. I miss my clear skin! :P Though at least I will say that I haven't had to take a sleeping pill the last couple of days or the anti anxiety medicine. So that is good.. I'm sure once I get back home though I might need a little help again. Just because I'd be back in our bed and in our apartment all by myself.. except for the furbabies of course.

Speaking of them. I have decided to get Harvey neutered. We haven't done it yet because Randy didn't want his personality to change.. because when we had Lily spayed, she changed so much.. she went from being such a loving cat to honestly a little bitch.. but we still loved her the same.. and lately she's been acting all sweet again, but this is 3-4 years later. Anyways he/we didn't want Harvey to change.. well after a little research and money being a huge factor I decided to get him neutered while I'm up here. My vet in Kansas said to neuter Harvey it would cost about 90 dollars. Up here, to neuter him, is going to cost me 12. SO, I'm going to be saving 78 dollars.. plus I can get him his shots and those are only an additional 15 dollars. I feel bad for the little guy but it will get him to stop spraying and hopefully make him a little happier around these other cats here. I dunno.. I'm worried about him even though I'm sure he'll be fine. They say cats who are neutered/spayed live a lot longer and have less of a chance of developing testicular cancers and stuff. And I want my Harvey around for a very long time. Who else is going to sleep on my pillow? So this means I'm going to be leaving a little later than I had planned.. since he's going to have it done on Sunday. I need to make sure that he is fully recovered before I pack in him a car for 2 1/2 days.

Anyways, I better get off this thing. I taught Biff how to sit and I got it on camera so I need to go upload the video to youtube so Randy can see it. He'll  be so proud of his littlest!

Oh and 8.2% done with deployment! :)
