There really isn't very much to say right now. Saturday is the very last possible day we could be told our next assignment will be overseas. Not very likely at this point. Still, a slight bit of hope remains. Otherwise we will be going back to America in March, we will find out the possibilities available in Oct and our actual assignment in Nov. Military life means waiting.
Summer is winding down. Everyone seems to be making a last ditch effort to enjoy the sunshine before it is all gone. We have been to one picnic after another at the lake, plus birthday parties, etc. Lots and lots of socializing, running around in the sun and having fun.
Last weekend we rented a cabin on the beach. We invited friends and Jeff's co-workers for dinner. We had a bbq and campfire, everyone went home and we slept in the cabin. It was lovely. We were walking distance to our house so we were able to walk home at bedtime and let the dog out, instead of paying our neighbor $20. First thing in the morning Mandy couldn't wait to get out of there and went home and let the dog out again. So there we were, we had the cabin until 11 am. It was around 7 am. We had all the food and hardware to cook my famous camping breakfast, potatoes, ham, onion, bell pepper - take some out for Lily and then add some eggs and cheese for the rest of us. Jeff went on and on about how lovely the cabin is, how much he wants our eventual home to be a tiny wood cabin just like this one. On and on. Then he said, so do you want to go home now. He kept asking if I was ready to leave. He said I could cook breakfast at home, why don't we go. I am enjoying sitting and watching the lake. The peaceful lake, but Jeff wants to go home. He made me go camping, he made me sleep in a tiny little cabin with the world's most uncomfortable bed. Lily is having a blast with three playgrounds to choose from and all the sand. But, Jeff wants to go from his dream cabin to our house that he complains about all the living time. He drives me crazy. So we went home. Jeff got to watch his football, I cooked everyone breakfast and we all took naps.
The rest of the base was busy with the air show. This year more than 125,000 people came onto the base to see the airshow. I sat in my lovely house away from the crowds and relaxed. Every year Jeff has to work the entire day during the airshow, this year he took leave to be able to go to the show, instead he watched football and napped. I hear it was lovely.
Lily's allergic reaction which was the result of my horrid mothering and allowing her to taste some Japanese food at the Nebuta festival, it is finally completely over. She is back to her old self. Very lovely. In the last week or so it seems like she has matured about two years, but actually she is just back to where she was before the reaction. She talks instead of screams. She cooperates. Her behavior is lovely. No more thinking a little bit of this or that probably wont hurt anything, I get the message!
I am busy with two classes. I have tons of homework due and I am procrastinating. So far nothing too difficult.
