When the day started today, we thought Rodney would be home around lunch time and we would run a bunch of errands together. Well when you are married to the military and are up for promotion - you do what you need to.
The wounded soldiers from Afganistan are arriving in Ottawa later this afternoon and Rodney was one of the few picked to go to Ottawa today to assit them coming home and be in the parade. (Which Im assuming is to honour them) As much as this sucks - this week has been pretty nutzo for Rodney. Tuesday and Wednesday he was on the ranges from 6 till 11, had a normal day yesterday (but with tons of talk of the 5 fallen soldiers and the 1 that died on the Terry Fox Run) and today he is going to Ottawa. Petawawa is a very sad town today! With the wounded coming home and the funerals for the 5 fallen in Afganistan. It is getting closer and closer to home. A friend of ours, Jamie knew 2 (possibly 3 - I cant remember) of the fallen from Afganistan. Her boyfriend and R's cousin's husband is over there right now.
So it looks like Rodney is gone until into the late evening/night tonight. So, my afternoon consists of taking Shayde to the groomer, going to the bank, registering Shayde, picking some things (including wine and coolers), picking up Shayde from the groomer and then coming home and doing laundry (mostly combats) and working on Anatomy. YEEHAW!
I almost forgot. I got a job in retail. Its shitty pay but a 50% dicount so Im thrilled about that. I also have a care giving job interview tommorrow and an interview on base on Tuesday for Recreation Programmer. YEEHAW!!! Petawawa is proving to have more opportunities than I thought. But then again...the bumpy road called my life is starting to smooth out and its much better when riding with someone beside me rather than alone.

-ps- we have been talking more about getting married! :) Still looking at the summer of 08, but it will be tough, Ill be start at either Ottawa U or Nippising that fall for the Bed program.

Glad to hear the you got a job. It may not be what you want, but good things come to those who wait.
I wouldnt say it isnt what I "want"...it just isnt what I have experience in. But it will be good to get some different experience under my belt. I dont want to be a jack of all trades but I like to learn new things and Im hoping it connects me with some really great people.
And yes...good things DO come to those who wait. I may not have been patient over the years, but I have found an amazing man, in SO many ways, and I feel like I have finally found home. Such an amazing feeling to be at peace with certain aspects of my life.
You seem to be friendly person, so retail isn't going to be that hard for you.
I worked retail for a couple of years (as well as fast food while I was a teen) and the key to succeeding is being friendly.
It's important that you connect with your customers. If the customer doesn't feel welcome in the store, they are less likely to buy anything.
I can certainly understand how you feel about your significant other. I feel the same way about mine. We just connect on certain levels that I haven't been able to do with any other person.
We often find ourselves finishing each others sentences or thinking the same thing at the exact same time.
It's extremely comforting to know that I have the love and support of another.
Thanks for the comments! Please...dont feel that you have to post annonymously!!!
I consider myself friendly, maybe TOO friendly..Ive been taken advantage of in the past because of my pleasing and accommodating nature.
Im fully expecting to do fine with the customers...and Im sure Ill get the snotty ones every now and again..but nothing can be as bad as the call center.
I post anonymously because I don't have a blog.
its hard to tell if all of the anonymous posts are from one person or each is someone separate...at least sign with your name...not a biggie...if you are a Julie...there are tons of Julies in the world.
Come on!
Keep posting on a regular basis and we'll see! LMAO!
post some more please
