more of the same

And so it continues….hubby in China, me here, and a complete disconnect between us.
The calls have been more sporadic lately b/c of cell phone bills and long hours at the plant, so we go days between contact. When we do catch each other, we are tired and testy, seemingly unable to be […]

not much to report

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

Hubby is still in Ningbo, China, working on the installation of a machine for Borg Warner, an important customer. Things are going very well. All the issues with the machine have been minor ones and easily fixed. Once things are wrapped up there, he will fly back to HKG to […]

a fun day with the kiddos

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

This morning I had the pleasure of taking four anxious, scared, and in one case, hysterical children to have shots. The excitement for the move to HKG was tarnished a bit when they discovered the two events were related. “You mean, we have to have shots to move to HKG?! Why in […]

new video

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

There have been some new additions to the apartment, furniture wise, so hubbyman made a new video. Check it out.

Two things of note on the video…
1) Check out the cabinets in the kitchen. Hubby and his brother are famous for leaving cabinet doors and drawers open. They never close them. […]

Separation is hard.

all I want is a chair….

Friday, October 12th, 2007

Hubby has not had any furniture in the apartment.  At all.  He resorted to borrowing a dining room chair from our landlady so he could sit at his desk.  (The desk is built in, that’s why he has one).  Anyway, it’s been pretty uncomfortable, and he’s really needed an office type chair.  He had been […]

a nice way to start the day

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

I woke this morning to a phone call from hubby, (always a nice treat) with some quiet time to have a nice conversation.  We even got to “see” each other using the webcams and Skype.  While I was on the phone with him, the regular phone rang, and it was my friend B, from Hong […]

irritation and annoyance

Monday, October 8th, 2007

Hubby has been gone since September 23rd. Frankly, it has gotten old and we still have many weeks until he’s home.
We aren’t communicating well because we have no reference point or common background right now. I never realized how important that was. He’s living his life in HKG and I’m living mine […]

a place to lay your head

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

The hotel hubbyman has been staying at was booked solid for the rest of the week and the weekend.  If he wanted to stay, they would have charged him double the rate he was paying and he could only have the room for another day, not even the weekend.  So, hubbyman is now living in […]
