Oh, Hello There

I am still alive but extremely busy. Getting to spend a week with Adam in San Diego was wonderful, and now the ever so awesome Helen is visiting from Wales. Also, thirty-one minutes ago it was my birthday which I spent nearly all of hungover. That’s okay, though, because Saturday night was totally worth it. One of these days I’ll write a proper update. Toodles!

  • 365: Week Nine

    I can’t believe it’s June already, and I especially can’t believe I am still keeping up with Project 365! My birthday is in twenty days. Helen comes to visit from Wales in eighteen days, and in eight days I will be in San Diego with Adam! June is going to be a very busy month for me, so I hope I can still keep it up. If I do, I expect there will be plenty to take pictures of. As for week nine, the theme seems to be Nintendo Wii and summery stuff.

  • The Silver Lining

    Just as I was about to throw my hands up in the air and surrender to the universe, I guess it double checked its records and realized I’ve racked up a ridiculous amount of good karma over the last year that I have yet to cash in on. Although the fire on the George Washington could never be considered a good thing, it has turned out to be beneficial for me. The ship’s original three or four days in San Diego have now unofficially turned into one or two months. They’ve been there for almost a week, but the Navy still has yet to give any official word as to what their plans are. The rumors are definitely swirling though. Some people say they will be in San Diego for at least two months and then go straight to Japan. Others say they will be in San Diego for a while and then go up to Bremerton, Washington to dry dock and fix the rest of the damage, and a few have said they are going to fix everything and postpone all their ports till they’re done. All I know is that I’m flying out to San Diego to see my doting husband in a little over a week.

  • Still Not Sane

    I’ve landed myself in a state of blah. After exhausting myself emotionally on Friday, I still haven’t quite recovered. I’ve been laying low and haven’t felt like talking to anyone, and now I’m just trying to force myself out of this funk. The anger has subsided, but a strange sadness has taken its place. My sleep schedule is totally screwed up, and I know that has played a major roll in my complete lack of motivation.

    As for the USS George Washington, I’m sorry I said such mean things about you. I was drunk with rage, and you have a tendency to piss me off. Next time you feel like messing something up, though, how about you chose something that won’t screw me over for once. Handling an international move all by yourself is hard enough when you don’t have idiots losing your paperwork and forcing you into programs that make no sense. At this point I will be shocked if I make it to Japan in August.

  • About a Girl and Her Website

    For starters, a lot of things around here obviously aren't finished. I slacked off and then got anxious to just make the site public, so over time I will eventually finish everything. This little blurb will also be changed, so for now the quick story is that my name is Lynn; I am twenty-five years old; I've been married to the hubby for just about five years now, and in a few short months we will be living in Japan. Despite being faced with ridiculous amounts of stress, life is good, and this is where I chronicle the little bits of nothingness from my life that I feel are worth sharing.
