That's right: Moose A. Moose strikes again. This month the theme is taking a trip. This song is decidedly less annoying than "Beside the Seaside," but obnoxious just the same.

Today Mark switched to the night shift. So rather than getting up really early for school and coming home sometime around 6PM, he slept in this morning and then stayed at home until around noon, when he left to go swim laps and work out at the gym before class starts at 3:30. I'm undecided on how I feel about this new schedule. He should be heading home tonight sometime between 12midnight and 1:30 or so. Depending on how the "day" goes and how nice his instructor is feeling.

Amaris is related to Miss Cleo, I think, because she adjusted to his new schedule over the weekend, it seems. Before we were even on the new schedule. She started taking naps again, but the naps start around 5-6PM, and go until 7-9PM. And then she's up till like midnight. I guess I can't really complain about that, since I'd be awfully lonely if I were up all alone until Mark came home and she went to bed at "normal" time around 9PM.

You know that whole "hurry up and wait" thing people always joke about? It's completely true. I am sitting here anxiously waiting on everything to do with this upcoming PCS. I think to myself, "I'm going to get this under control. I'm going to plan it all and figure everything out." And then I sit down to do it and I run into a thousand road blocks. I can't do anything about our airline plans. I can't estimate our move-out date from this house. I can't get in touch with the Okinawa housing office until we have orders. I can't organize a yard sale all alone and Mark isn't really very interested in helping...

It's so frustrating. Really. I like to try and have things planned out. I like feeling like I have a handle on the situation. I like it when I can write down details and have my ducks in a row.

Currently, I have a bunch of sheets of blank paper and a facial expression to match. And while I can find several informative websites on Okinawa (my favorite so far being time2pcs), the information really doesn't do me a whole lot of good until I am actually DOING it.

I have a headache.
