jdmkleinI got up early this morning, about 5:30. The sunrise was beautiful. And i caught the Dhows going out to fish. i think i counted 15 this morning. The air is clean, the dust settled, finally. The sky was a nice blue with thin, wispy clouds. Max and i stood on the balcony and talked about the boats and the cars and the workers walking by below. He enjoys putting his paws up on the railing and looking at the world on two legs, i think.
i have noticed i don't have much holiday spirit today. i have a feeling it won't be much around at all this year. Not like last, at least. Master is home, but not feeling well. i think the stress of the work up there, the stress of being up there, and then the stress of having to come back here every weekend is getting to Him. Tbat makes me feel guilty.
He told the other day He has turned down the site manager position. i'm happy. It would mean being assigned to Baghdad permanently, or as long as the contract lasts. More money, He is turning down, and prestige, and a chance to hobnob with the biggies. i'm sure the location is part of why He said no, but He also said i couldn't be there, and it's too far away to come back for the weekend.That makes me feel guilty too.
It has been too long since i have had any pain. One would think He would see that, and if He valued me, would take care of that. That kind of thinking makes me feel guilty, too. i am not surviving the catholic guilt thing very well. i have all kinds. You name it, i have a guilt for it.
i got all my work done, then a student sent me her homework by email. i will do that tomorrow morning. The laundry is done. There is one basket of my clothes left to fold. Tomorrow i will do Master's. Last night i made the pie crust for Master's pecan pie. This afternoon i rolled it out and put it in the pan and let it rest. Since Master isn't feeling so chipper, i put the pie together and baked it. It must be a southern thing. i don't think it turned out right.
He put the ribs on the smoker before we took the dogout for his run. The fire went out, so ribs are on the menu for tomorrow night. We will have hoppin' john tonight. But there is plenty for tomorrow. And when He goes up north on Saturday, He is going to take the rest with Him, and the pie.
The plans have changed yet again. No hoppin' John. no pie, no ribs. Jello is on the menu for tonight. Master is going to take a calgon bath, have some jello and go to bed. i hope He is better tomorrow. i worry about Him.
He picked up His tickets for Texas this morning. He leaves in about 3 weeks. Will be gone for about 3 weeks. The good thing is, He doesn't have to go to Baghdad for the three weeks before He leaves. And He will be back on Dec. 29, for New Year's Eve.
