Saying goodbye

Wednesday

I woke up after 7. I got up when the alarm rang. I brushed and swabbed, then went to the kitchen to prepare for coffee morning. Michelle had given me some green coffee so I tried that. I did the lymph exercises and read a book for 30 minutes. Then I meditated and tapped for awhile, trying to work out the feelings around Michelle being kicked off post.

After that, I started cleaning the bathrooms, then headed to the kitchen to hear The Phantom of the Opera while I cleaned and washed dishes. Then I vacuumed the den and mopped the kitchen floor. I vacuumed the livingroom and hallways. I took a shower, then did the bedroom.

I turned my phone on and started getting texts. Jenni wanted to know about Michelle. Isadora gave me her phone number. Kurt had a question and Michelle invited me over. I read e-mail for awhile, then took the last of the cheese squares and went over to visit her.

She was in the bedroom packing. I sat and we talked as she packed. The kids were home, but playing with friends. She showed me the legal letters that she got, explaining that she was barred from Dugway and had to keep her distance from the colonel and his family. Interesting reading.

Later we sat in the living room and talked. I didn't want to leave her, but she felt this was God's plan. Casey was in the background and I got the feeling he might want some time with her. So I wrapped things up and left at 7.

I stopped by Jenni's house to set her kitchen faucet to drip. Then I went home. Chris was still gone. I had gotten a text from Steve, so I called him back. We talked about the swap shop. I read some e-mail and Chris came home with a pizza. We talked about this and that. He ate while I watched. Ha.

Eventually we decided to watch TV. I brought water with me. We watched the second episode of The Magicians. He wasn't happy with the first episode but the second one was a little better. After some discussion, we decided to give it one more try tomorrow night.

I got dressed for bed, then worked on my blog. Chris went to bed after 10, but I stayed up a little later.
