9 SLEEPS 16 TOTAL TILL I AM HOME.

Had an awesome day today. Last night I tried to go to bed at midnight and then I called Paul and Logan when I couldn't sleep cause I missed them. They had just got back from church and they came online and we had a video chat for an hour or so. It was sooooooooooooooooooo great. Logan was his adorable little self. Even saw Tikka. Was really really good. Then at 0100 I went to bed and was woken up at 0930 by someone moving in to our tent. I decided to get up. So I packed up some more of my stuff and then I finally showered and got ready for work. I grabbed lunch and went in to work. As always I was a rockstar. Tons of stuff for me to fix and sort out. Was really really busy. I finished at 1850 and borrowed the vehicle to drive home and pick up my last box to send home, grabbed it and mailed it home. Then I drove back to work and returned the vehicle and then went in for a little bit.

They sent me my itinerary for my flight to comox on the 25th. They booked me on the westjet flight leaving edmonton at 1300 arriving in comox at 1345. I was super pissed because I know there is flights before that with Air Canada. I quickly went online and found that there is an Air Canada flight leaving edmonton at 0620 and arriving in Comox at 0915 via a stopover in Vancouver. I emailed them and asked if it is possible for them to put me on that flight instead. Hopefully I will find out tomorrow what they will say. I think they thought they were doing me a favor by booking me on a direct flight but I was previously told that the booking priority was first available flight. The other person going to comox as well is happy with the flight. We will see what happens. I will be ecstatic if they book me the 0620 flight. I want to get home as soon as I can. Time will tell. The problem is that I think the westjet flight was only $79 before tax and the aircanada one is $197 before tax so I doubt they will change it.

Then I biked home, did the laundry run and then came home. It was almost 2100 be that time. I watched some L word till 2210 when this guy popped over for my chair that I promised him. He bought me a huge lindt chocolate bar in exchange for the chair. He actually gave me 2. One was dark chocolate with hazelnuts so I shared that around at work because I hate dark chocolate. The other one is super awesome milk chocolate with hazelnuts.

After he came by, I went to the gym. I did 60 minutes on the bike for 1018 calories and 6.19 miles. then I did 40 situps and then 15 pushups and then 8 pushups. Was great.

Then I grabbed a shower and now I am blogging and watching the final episode of season 6 of the L word and then bed time.

Had an insanely busy day. I went to bed at around 0100 or so maybe later. Got up at 1040. Manged to chat with Paul a bit till 1130 and then grabbed a shower and headed to work. Work was soooooooooooooooo insane. I put out fires my whole shift and didn't finish till 1945. It was a million things at once. The weather was horrible today so a whole bunch of flights got cancelled and had to be scheduled. Man was I soooo busy. Biked home after work and it is finally nice to relax. Watching some L word. The weather was so crazy today with the wind etc it is cold out and I took my sweater to the laundry so I am not going to the gym tonight.

Just gonna relax with some L word and hopefully get a good night sleep. Maybe if I get up really early, might be able to video chat with Paul and Logan again.

Had a really good day today. Went to bed at 2330 or so. I ended up waking up at 0630 to go to the washroom. I tried to go back to sleep and then gave up at 0715. I called Paul and then we went online and had a videochat with Paul and Logan. It was awesome. Logan said so many words. "bravo", etc. It was soooooooooooooooooo great. Logan was running around and playing. Tikka was in the "doghouse" for eating Logan's supper off of the coffee table while Paul and Logan were in the other room.

Then I went to breakfast, then showered and managed to go back to sleep from 0930-1040. Then I got up and got ready and headed to the market. I picked up Season 6 of the L word, and Bring the Pain S1-2, The Chapelle Show S1-3 as well.

Then I went to work. It was good. Was super busy. I was so busy I missed going to lunch. Luckily I had a pack of microwave kraft dinner so I had that. We also had this awesome yogurt in the fridge so I had that too.

After work I biked home, then did the laundry run and now I am watching an episode of the L word. Then at 2000 I'll go to the gym and read my book on the bike.

I have 12 more sleeps in the sandbox and 19 more till I am home. Can't wait to get home to my boys.

I went to bed at like 2320 last night. Got up at 0930. Was able to chat with Paul online for an hour or so. Was great. Him and Logan are doing awesome. I am so happy that they have bonded so closely while I have been away. Logan is such a polite little boy with his pleases and thank yous. I am soooooooooooo proud of him.

Last night Paul had hockey so Logan was with a babysitter.

After our chat I grabbed a shower and then headed to work. Work went well. I had alot of stuff to do and tie up some loose ends. Was really good. Finished just before 1900, biked home, went to supper, then I went to drop off Brian's tacvest (Laurel's husband). Someone had taken it by accident and I was able to get it for him and bring it to him.

Then I watched a couple of episodes of burn notice. It is really good. I am gonna get ready and hit the hay early again tonight. Probably by 2320 at the latest.

Tomorrow is the market and I am very excited. It is my 2nd last one. Then tomorrow night I should be mailing home my last package. Then if I buy anything else it will have to go with me in my bags!! I am getting anxious to get out of here and get home.

I can't wait to sleep in my own bed, and hug my hubby and my son!! To see my cat and dog, and all of my friends!!!

Had an alright day. Got up at 0930 and phone Paul. We had a good chat.

Last night Paul took Logan to the movie night at the base. It was G.I, Joe. He said Logan had a good time. At one point Logan stood up on the couch and then farted really loudly and then started laughing. That’s my boy!!

He was also dancing on the stage for a bit.

They didn’t get home till 2100 or so.

Work was alright. I’m looking forward to getting home. I got a massive migraine at the end of my shift and I still have it. I’m gonna go to bed at around 2300 tonight or sooner depending on how I feel. I came home, did the laundry run and then watched the last episode of the L word season 5. Was good.

Then I went to supper and now I am blogging. Then probably bed time.

20 sleeps till I am home!!! 13 more sleeps here!

Had an alright day today. Got up at 0930, phoned Paul and had a good chat. Then I showered and got ready for work. Then I noticed it was only 1100 so I started packing up my stuff to go home. I think I am only gonna have one mob box now. Did quite a bit of packing so that was good. I will be shipping my boxes 2 days before I leave so making sure that nothing important is in there cause I won't get it for awhile.

Work went alright. Was busy. I didn't get out of there till 1910 or so. Biked home and watched some L word.

I'm gonna head to bed soon. My arms are very sore from the flu shots yesterday.

Paul and Logan had their's yesterday too. Logan was a champ and didn't cry. He needs another one in 3 weeks. Logan fell asleep on the way home after the shot. He was very tired. They waited 2 hours for Logan to get his shot.

Paul also said that Logan went potty at daycare. Brenda asked him if he had to pee and he said yeah so he went.

Logan also loves the halloween candy. Paul has to ration him.

Man I miss my boys.

21 sleeps.
