Well, besides kidney-related nuisances, things are pretty good here.
My darling husband home from Iraq and he's coming up next week to visit while on leave.
An unsure-what-to-call-it thing that I'm constantly at a loss about but thoroughly enjoying...
Shared giggles with a close galfriend.
Missing some other friends but hope to visit with them shortly.
=====
Brazilian waxing, manicure and eyebrows done tomorrow.
"Playing dress-up" Friday with my whatever-he-is.
Subjecting my galfriend to Alien (as a start to showing her the series) soon.
Spouse showing up Monday sometime.
=====
Now if I could just fall the heck asleep.

Kidneys, VA, Dammit
LadyHillary and AbusablePainToy are coming in a little bit to take me to the VA ER. I've been fighting what feels like a kidney infection for about a week now and it's not going away...
I know I need to get it checked out and medicated before it can get serious (I've had bad cases of kidney infections where my kidney's swelled up and I was unable to walk), but -as I told Hillary- there is just something so terribly wrong to me about going to the ER when you can still walk upright and/or breathe.
So I've been putting it off, as the only option with the VA is to go into the ER/no-appointment-clinic. Each day I've been in various states of "ouch" (from "well that's not right" to "fuck, I can't stand up straight and can't pick up anything off the floor"). Today's not the worst, but talked to Hill some and had to admit to myself that I need to go and get some meds and get it over with.
But dammit going to the doctor is no fun. And they're being sweet and going to the ER with me, so they'll be subjected to the boredom of it with me.
Hopefully it won't take us forever, I'll get antibiotics and be feeling better in a couple days.
Le sigh.

In Dallas With Chael
We drove up from Houston yesterday after getting his truck from his mom's house. It was a loooong day of driving.
But it's so good to have him back home, in the States, and with me. He'll be here just a couple of days more til he has to return to Ft. Hood for work. Then maybe back for the weekend, it depends.
We're getting back into our back-and-forth visiting habits and thoroughly enjoying being together after such a long absence.
LadyHillary and AbusablePainToy came over last night and we all spend a lovely night talking and hanging about and such. It was, as always, good to see them and I know Chael enjoyed getting back together with friends.
Plus, I thoroughly enjoyed Hillary's face in those minutes before they left for home lol.
Errands today, must try to get his truck registered. Then maybe an outing tonight. We'll see.
Things will be in flux for me for a while as everything gets back into a regular schedule.

Heading Out
Just woke, am about to get around and head south to Fort Hood. We talked on the phone last night and decided after all to get a hotel room, so I'm to go do that and bum about until it's time to go see him come home.
3.5 hour drive here I come, just have to get around and load up the car with odds and ends he needs/wants.
