prosodic | *sigh*

Since there seems to be some confusion, we do not move to Washington until December. We were there only to find a house. The Air Force moved our stuff because it will take about 6 weeks to get there from here, and we want to time our stuff so that it arrives about the time that we get in the house.

Lance still has work to do here. He's not supposed to report for duty at his new job until December 20th at the latest.

Anyway...we are back in Germany after about 24 hours of travel by planes and trains, and sitting around in airports.

Having a house in Washington does a lot to take the edge off of my leaving here. It will still be emotional for me and difficult to leave my friends, but having a house waiting for us sure makes it a bit easier. And I'm more annoyed than I am happy to be back. We had to go to Schinnen right away to get food, since we had nothing at the house. Lance decided that we would order a pizza to take home since my idea of dinner was going to be baked potatoes and tomato soup. But it took them forever to make our pizza and we were there much longer than we wanted to be.

And then we came home to an empty house.

I'm still dying to take a shower, but I have no clean underwear at the moment, so laundry is going. The first load should be about done and then I can take a shower and hopefully go to bed not long after that.

We get loaner furniture tomorrow. Then we can set up my computer and I can be back online as normal. You don't know how happy this makes me. It's the little things.

As of next Monday, Lance and I will be on niece watch. Eva was (is?) in the breach position and the doctor was hoping to turn her around today. Failing that, Cristine will have a c-section on Monday. If he is successful in getting her turned around, Cristine will proceed with a natural birth, but the doctor will not allow her to go any later than the 19th. I hope for Cristine's sake that she doesn't have to have the c-section, but it knocks me out to think that I could have a niece come Monday.
