I have no idea where she is. I only had a very vague idea where she was when she first went down there, all I really knew was that it was about a 5 or 6 hour drive south of Mexico City... and her last message to me told me she wasn't even there anymore, but didn't say where she was now. Just in a different state than the one she was in. It's a big country to just go wandering around in looking for someone when they could be almost anywhere and you don't know where to look or speak the language.
If I had daily communication with her, I might be able to gather the new location, then I could spend a month getting a passport made, save the money for the tickets and rental cars, and try desperately to refresh my year of middle school Spanish to hope to survive down there until I managed to find her. If I could get the time off from work, that is... which at the moment I can't.
But I haven't heard back anything since my "Dear John... I mean Ed..." email last week, even though I've sent 4 or 5 responses. Her mom wrote me a couple of days ago asking if I had any news from her... she hadn't heard anything herself in almost a month. I was as truthful but as vague as I could get away with in the hope she gives her mom an update with the full truth of what's going on sometime soon.
Going and seeing her is the romantic movie thing to do... but I have no idea with the info I currently have where to even start.
I don't think going to see her would accomplish anything good anyway. There's a time for that kind of thing, but there's also a time to express your support and then let people deal with difficult things in their own way. You'd probably only drive her further away and make things more difficult for her if you tried to track her down.
Kinda lame that she sent you this through an e-mail, though.
She said her phone hasn't worked since she got there. Can't call, can't text. Or if it works, it's crazy expensive on roaming charges. Only email works when she gets her computer or phone near public WIFI.
But yes... I really would have much preferred a call, a SKYPE, or and handwritten letter.
Even with the trip to cranberry fest (bought 15 pounds of cranberries, 1 pound of dried craberries, and three bottles of wine) and a trip to the leinenkugel brewery. we got home in time and cooked a meal for my wife's cousin and girlfriend who were traveling across the country.
They are both from Germany. I made a special trip friday to my local microbrewery for two growlers of limited edition brews. Liderhosen Oktoberfest lager, and a Imperial Pilsner aged in Pinot Noir wine barrels.
Who would have guessed two people from Germany didn't drink.
My grilled Teriyaki marinated Flank steak, grilled asparagus, and Baked acorn squash was well enjoyed by all.

annual training was fun...it went by too fast for me. next up is mobilization and deployment so if you all dont hear from me thats what im up to.

I have to say, one of my current favorite beer's is Pearl Street brewery's Imperial Pilsner, that was aged in Pinot Noir barrels. Stuff is 8% ABV, smooth, and has a nice Pinot noir flavor to it above the normal pilsner flavor. Like drinking a beer, but it tastes like a beer/wine mixer (in a good way) and you got a good buzz going after you finish your first one

Lakefront brewery in Milwaukee has a great Pumpkin lager they come out with. My wife wants me to buy a case of it. Too many pumpkin beers have the problem of you end up searching for the flavors. With Lakefront's pumpkin lager it stays in your mouth with the finish for a bit. All the spices and pumpkin flavors are so savory

Well... I got my results back from my last test at the doctors: I'm negative for MRSA.
That's a relief!
But on the other hand, my sinuses and ears are really bothering me again today. Not quite as bad as they were at the height of the infection... but enough to be annoying again.
So, I know what the problem isn't... but I guess we haven't really figured out what it is, either.
If it gets worse, I'll have to go back again. I really don't want to be at the clinic every couple of days.

Now begins the long process of putting my life back together. Each day gets a bit harder. I imagine it will be this way for a while before it starts to get better.
yeah man you'll find someone better for you someday. =\ i keep having to tell myself that after mine dumped me. hoping this deployment clears my mind from it as i focus on more important things and when i get back i can find someone better for me or maybe during it i'll find someone...just trying not to think so much about how much it really sucks being alone...even when being with someone that doesnt care much about me somehow seemed right cause i was with someone, maybe being with someone that really cares about me will make the wait worth it. just sucks.
got myself 6 month supply of contacts...so happy, i can see so much better now and interacting with people isn't as awkward now that i can see facial expressions from 200 meters away instead of having to be 2 feet from person. cause wearing glasses (bcgs or safety goggles with inserts) i get that feeling like i'm behind a retard mask and nobody wants to take me seriously.

Kind of like how i feel without hearing aids. I have significant loss of hearing in the 4000+ MHz range. Basically I have a hard time understanding anything when it is noisy. and it was hard to hear the difference between bait/gait, coat/goat. When i first got them it was like I finally got out from under fog.
There were some studies that when sounds were subliminal, just below the threshold of hearing often it would cause anxiety to rise and hallucinations to occur. I do notice I have less anxiety now i got BIONIC EARS!!

The keyboard that came with my current three-year-old desktop machine finally gave up the ghost today. The spacebar started sticking, and though I made sure the underside of it and the area on the keyboard it sits in was super clean, I still wasn't happy with its action when I got done. The three years is longer than any of my other keyboards have lasted. Of course, I usually keep a spare keyboard on hand, so I had minimal downtime.
The Sith Lords is downloaded on my laptop now. it runs so much better on this than it did on the xbox. Looks like any downtime will be spent either cleaning my weapons or playing TSL.
got a cheapo mp3 player (runs on 1 aaa battery, 4gb storage...does its job).
packed the bags im taking with me on the plane, decided to get that done today instead of day before so i'm not freaking the hell out last minute. laptop is carry-on not sure about cameras on planes...i got aa nimh batteries not lithium so should be fine i think?
My sis may have induced labor tomorrow or next week slight complication i guess idk. sure she'll be fine though. going out to party with one of my best friends tonight. going to stay at his place and go over to my parents tomorrow mornign to spend more time with my parents and nephew.

At home with wife, who is scheduled now for an MRI on her knee. X-rays show arthritis, and some bone spurs. MRI is going to figure out if she has a meniscus tear and what treatment.
So we are sitting at home after going out to dinner. Gas fireplace is on and we are enjoying a sparkling muscato
completely avoiding oktoberfest this year

She is taking 600mg of Ibuprofen 3 times a day. Can barely walk a mile without limping and being in pain. no, after the MRI we will know for sure if it is a tear or just arthritis. No tear, it should be easier to fix.
We are planning on doing a 3k walk "Turkey trot" this thanksgiving, hoping she will be better then

Seriously, weekends need to be three days long. By the time I'm finished getting all the housework done, it's time to go back to regular work. There isn't an actual day off in there anywhere.
im 28. probably lack of h2o causing my joints...or gaining a little weight, which i will most definitely lose over the next year.

and then I bar-tended at the navy club. didn't even bother to change. yep. I was classy. not the busiest of nights, but the tips were ok considering my first time and all
Curled for the first time this season yesturday. Of course my work schedule is all screwed up. Instead of having Friday and Saturday off I have Saturday off, and Wednesday for curling
Spent most of the time getting the Ice ready and cleaning up. Did get a game in, made most of my take outs, but only made half of my draws/guards. In one end I scored 4.
