Out and About
Homework has made my days pretty full. For the couple of days Ryan worked a normal shift since his return that I didn't have class I actually had a good chunk of free time during Anya's afternoon nap after all of the housework was done to just do something for myself. But now that nap is my official homework time of the day. Although I'm blogging at the moment in an effort to procrastinate working on installing Linux features onto my computer for my Operating Systems class. At least I won't need secure online backup if something goes horribly wrong because my files are backed up onto the lovely external drive Ryan got me for Christmas. So I've got that going for me.
Anya's nap is a little late today because I took her with me when I went out to lunch with some of the other Marine wives in the area. It was fun though I don't really feel like I got to say much or had much part in the discussion. So I still feel like I don't really know anyone except for the wife I hitched a ride with - Ryan still having the only working vehicle and all. But I'm going to a baby shower for one of the girls on Saturday so maybe that will help. I'd really like to have friends. Though it sounds like a lot of the girls are moving away to other duty stations or getting out of the USMC altogether this year. But more will come; such is the nature of our lifestyle. Lots of comings and goings. I'm just tired of not having any friends to spend any kind of time with and feeling like a hermit. Not to mention it keeps Ryan from hanging out with his friends because he doesn't want to leave me sitting alone at the house feeling sorry for myself. So I'm trying. Here's hoping I forge some kind of friendship with some of the other wives by putting myself out there a little.
I can't wait for Ryan to get home tonight, though. He hasn't been home since he left for duty at 7AM yesterday. And I've missed him. Anya has missed him. I've missed having him to help with Anya. But I've managed. At least he gets a four day weekend this week! I'm pretty excited about that. I have the baby shower on Saturday, but otherwise it's whatever we want to do. Maybe we'll try a movie on Friday or something. I need to get out of the house a little bit and enjoy time out with my husband. We really need to find a babysitter in the near future so we can just go out, relax, and enjoy ourselves for a few hours, just the two of us. But right now that's all just wishful thinking.
And now I really do need to work on some homework...
