Since I last updated, I did get a few rainy lounge around kind of days…yesterday and today. Today wasn’t particularly rainy, but it thundered a few times and it made me happy. That was pretty much the only thing that made me happy today, however.
Also since I last updated, my man and I drove to Minneapolis for two weeks. He had to be there for three weeks in June in order to learn about flying a new airplane. He was then supposed to have 3 weeks off before going to sims, but to make a long story short, some high school antics forced him to have to leave today. It seems as though all the pilots at this airline came down with a mysterious illness at the same time. Anyway, the point of this is that I’m quite sad. We were really looking forward to spending an uninterrupted month together this summer, but it looks as though that won’t be happening now. This will be about a 3-week thing in Denver. Thankfully he has a few 2-day breaks spread out in there - during the first of which he plans to come home and fly me back out there with him. I’m really excited about it because I’ve never been out west before. Minneapolis is as far west I’ve been in the US and that doesn’t even really count as true “west”. I want to see mountains and desert-y areas!
As much as I hate Minneapolis in the winter, it sure is NICE in the summertime. Last time I was there (January or something), it was below freezing and there were about 5 feet of snow piled up on the sidewalks and roads. Weather was perfect this time, though. The big plus was having a car up there, although all we really did was go to the Mall of America when he wasn’t busy in class or studying (which was about 99% of the time). Of course I had to go shopping.
Speaking of my car, that thing has really begun to impress me. We got about 36.5 miles per gallon on the way up there and the same on the way back. I love my little Eclipse.
Perhaps the most exciting thing that’s happening to me right now is that I’m moving again. Not far this time - just down the street. With things such as armed robbery and rape happening in the community in which we live now, it was pretty obvious that we needed to get the hell out as soon as the lease was up. It isn’t TOO bad around here, but I do have to admit that I’m somewhat nervous when my house full of pilots is off at work and I’m here by myself, the lone female. I bought a knife even. You know, just in case.
We’ll be going to a much larger, MUCH nicer place on the 25th. I guess the one good thing about my man getting called to work two weeks earlier than scheduled means that he’ll actually be here at the end of the month to help. The other two guys here were going to help me, but it still bothered me that my own man wasn’t going to be around to help me move things into our own room. I really don’t want other men looking at my thongs!
