Seraphim Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I know you are worried about the immigration stuff but I believe it will go well. My gf just got her landed immigrant status . She has been here 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Oddily enough the visa isn't worrying me, just the whole him getting in to visit thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptomisticGirl Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Just hung up with L for the last time on Face Time (and therefore the last time I will see him until he walks through arrivals). He'll obviously text me at key points tomorrow (when he leaves the house, when he gets to the train station, when he gets to London) and we will skype for 10 minutes tomorrow but other than that that is our last communication until he board the plane and flies over.

annie24 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 exciting!!!!! sorry about the car troubles. they are a money pit, aren't they? i've never owned a car. i've just always lived in a city and used public transportation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 They are. I mean they car is over 10 years old - almost 15 - not shocking. And the things that are going wrong with it (aside from having to replace the engine) are routine things you would need to fix with having an older car. However when they happen in rapid succession when you have other crap on your plans, it feels like the car does nothing but break down! L doesn't have one. He's owned one before but when he moved to were he is now he is so close to work and other things it made no sense for him to pay car insurance and such.

It was our second brand new car in our life. I backed into it hard in the driveway on Wednesday. Apparently I was insane. I have never done that in my life!!! I caused superficial damage to my van but his car seemed ok. Well yesterday he put $25 worth of gas in his car. Today it is empty!!!!! He only drove to work and home and he works 1.5 KM from the house!!! So my guess is the gas tank has a leak. He has to put that baby on a hoist and see what is happening.

OptomisticGirl Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Holy cow yeah, thats a lot! Since I live so close to work and town now I can put $50 in the tank and it lasts me a month (if I don't make a trip to SC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphim Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Oh no I mean he can walk to work from our house he is that close so the tank should still be at half where he filled it to. He works about a mile and a half from our house. He can see our house from the air field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaissancewoman101 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Just an FYI, depending on how much the dosage is and the length of time you are on it, prednisone can cause an increase in appetite so watch out for that. Prednisone also causes water retention, and can keep you up at night since it is a stimulant. I usually get prescribed prednisone wheny asthma acts up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Well the keeping me up at night won't be an issue since I already have insomnia, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 I am pooped. Since the doctor wrote me out for today I decided to do my deep cleaning today - Lord I thought I'd never get done! I have washed and dried clothes all day (since I was rewashing everything). But the house is spotless from top to bottom! Only thing left to do is vacume tomorrow night after work and clean my car out. The hives have completely went away, although I have been keeping an eye on my arms through the day to see if they crept back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptomisticGirl Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Woke up at 7 am with a headache, probably because I left my glasses at work Friday and didn't wear any at all yesterday. I dug out my spare set, took some Tylenol and put some Icy Hot on my neck. 2 hours later headache is presto! Trying to get myself in gear to go clean the car out (which also means vacuming it), taking the car to AutoZone for them to check to make sure one side of the battery thing is connected properly, and going to the store to find my husband's tea. Then I'm off to work, last day for 2 days. L is on the train on his way to London now. I can't believe he will be here tomorrow. 29 more hours.

hers Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 What are your plans for when he gets here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 We'll come back here, grab something to eat, and then come to the house. With him being up for so long (and me too apparently) we will probably get an early night. No plans for tomorrow except grabbing Chinese with my boss and another co worker, maybe going and seeing my mom for a few hours, depends on how L feels. I work Wed. and Thurs. and then Fri morning we are heading to SC to spend the weekend with my uncle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
