prosodicThe insanity-inducing boredom rages on. Lance has the car today, so I'm housebound, although the weather is gross anyway, so I probably wouldn't go out even if I had the car.
Spent the morning job searching. That's lots of wasted time, seeing as how I seem to be qualified for nothing. But I have plenty of time to waste anyway.
I've spent intervals cleaning bathrooms and shredding papers. For the shredder is going with the movers on Monday, and we must get rid of the shred pile.
Now I am enjoying a tasty but nutritionally bereft lunch: a pre-made pizza crust baked with margarine, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and parmesan cheese...topped with some of this Fruschetta dip/spread that I have to use up (basically a bruschetta dip mix with mango added, mixed with extra virgin and water).
My grocery list for the coming week takes into consideration that I will be eating on my own most of the week, and using whatever I already have here...so the grocery list is short. At least we're saving on groceries in these last weeks.
Monday, they take away all my kitchen stuff, among other things. I have old pots and pans saved in the basement. I will have to get paper plates and plastic cutlery at the commissary. I can borrow stuff if I need it.
I'm going out as much as possible next week. I hate that Lance will be TDY. This is a horrible time for him to leave. It's not a big deal usually. But this boredom is already unbearable, and now I won't even have him to talk to.
All this moving stuff is starting to become a huge pain in my ass. Military moves are dragged out for eternity, especially when they are overseas moves. What I wouldn't give to just pack stuff up in boxes, throw it all in a U-Haul, and drive to our new home.
It'll all be worth it in the end, though.
Exactly one month...9th of December.

Anyway, last night I met up with Andrea at the Alliance Theatre on the NATO base in Brunssum to see their production of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None." Andrea's husband is both stage and sound manager for the production. This was the first performance, and generally the least attended, so they could work out whatever kinks came up during the performance.
Yeah, there were some. And there were things that were unintentionally funny, or maybe it was just Andrea and I giggling over stupid stuff for the sake of giggling about something. We enjoyed ourselves, anyway. And I'm not familiar with Agatha Christie's canon, so I was surprised at the plot. I thought it was pretty well done, given the limited resources and the smallness of the theatre community here.
Andrea and are getting together tomorrow for the Da Vinci Expo in Brussels. Can't wait for that. And we'll probably be getting together multiple times next week...I've been invited over for movies and margaritas, and it's sweet of them to try and keep me entertained during Lance's absence.
