i asked Master today what He thought this new company. It seems to me that things are run pretty haphazard around there. He says He likes the company president, that He thinks they will work well together in spite of one trait the man has that does not endear him to Master. Apparently the man works in crisis mode all the time. Master believes it is strictly from lack of experience. i hope so.

As it stands now,Master won't be going to Basra tomorrow. And He may not be going to Baghdad at all. He just received an email saying that the Green Zone will be closed and quarantined from the 28th of June to July 5. No one will be allowed in or out. The Iraqis who work in the Green Zone won't be allowed on, either. This is a defensive maneuver as a preparation for the handover on June 30. Master has all the paper work done from the old company side, but now the new company does not have any more visas. The company president believes the new visas should be here in a day or two. His executive assistant says a week or three. My money is on the assistant. She's been in Kuwait longer than he has. What this all means is that if Master doesn't have His visa before June 28, He won't be able to get into the Green Zone in Baghdad. And the new warehouse in Basra is supposed to go on line on July 15. He will have to be in Basra before the 15th to get things set up and prepare for the handover from the Brits. i don't see how Master can be in Baghdad to train new people and be in Basra at the same time.

We talked again about His leaving, and He says what i believe. Once He gets gone, my heart will rest easier. It's the not knowing that is driving me crazy. He has to go out to Arifjan tomorrow. There is a GNC store out there. i've asked Him to get me some St. John's Wort. He didn't even offer an argue. i have to get out of this funk i am in, for His sake. i can't have Him worrying about me worrying about Him and expect Him to stay safe. This is one thing i can do to help Him. i will be ok with Him gone. i won't like it but i will survive it.

We also talked more about what i will do in case of the big 'IF'. An uncomfortable subject, but one must be prepared.

He now has three bags packed. The 'Basra Day Trip' bag. The 'Baghdad Two Week' bag, and the 'Basra Until October' bag.
i keep telling myself the good thing about Basra is that He can come home on weekends.

i saw a 100 Things list on another journal. i am in the process of making one.
