No, not Gods voice or the little voices in my head. I called my man for the first time today since he went to Africa. I felt weird calling him at first because I never know what he is involved with and if I would be calling at a bad time. But I was really missing him and took a chance just to hear his voice. So I called and it rang about five times and I was beginning to hang up when I heard a click and his voice came on the line. Knowing it was me calling him, the first words out his mouth we're "I've missed you, so glad you rang." Once I realized it was a not a bad time to call and he was happy I called, I was able to settle myself down and enjoy the conversation with him.

He said he's doing well, but he's knackered and could really drink a pint. He said there is a little eight year old boy they named Wafer who he treated and now follows him around all day. I told him about my upcoming trip to the states and about some things that are going on in Dublin. It was a good phone call even though it was short. I could have talked to him for hours and after hanging up the phone, I missed him as much as before I called him. But at least I heard his voice, heard his laugh, and we shared a moment of our day together.

Time for me to start packing and get ready for the plane flight to the states.

Back To The USA

I'm going to go back to the USA for a week for my job. I am going with three others to try and get some funding and to meet with a couple of possible clients. It will be good to be back in the States for a few days. We're going to be in Washington, Dallas, Los Angeles, and a few other locations not yet finalized. I wanted to get back on a ship this upcoming week, but when I was approached and asked to join this group for the trip to the states, I could not say no.

I'm hoping that I will be able to visit back home for a day when we go to Washington, DC. I have been given the unofficial title of event planner for our free time hours. They want me to find fun stuff for us to do at each stop. They keep coming to me with requests. I'm starting to feel like Julie the cruise director from the Love Boat.
