It's been a while! And the reason for that, of course, is that Aaron came home for three weeks.
A lot happened in that three weeks, a lot of decisions were made. For example we found out that Aaron will have to back pay tax on all the money he has earned in the last two years... yuk. We also decided that a) Aaron would transfer back to Australia (Karratha) due to the tax situation and b) I would start working up north full time to get a little bit extra in the bank.
Luckily my work is letting me transfer so I dont have to change companies which is awesome, I am so happy about that. And I will get to see Aaron more often as we will be working in the same town, 3 out of 4 weeks a month!
This should all be happening in July, after our trip to New York, so Aaron had to go back to Iraq for one last stint. And it sucks. In reality, I know that I should be stoked that there is less than two months to go before he is back in the country for good, but it's really hard right now, because he is out on rigs all day without being able to contact me. He can't even send text messages because stupid Iraq has dissabled the messaging service on all mobiles in the country! The most I can hope for is an email and a few facebook comments when I wake up each morning.
Today he came online, 10.30am here, 5.30 in the morning his end, but obviously he wasnt getting my messages because after a while he said "ok, I guess you're busy, gotta go!" and offline he went again. So, yet another day goes by without me getting to talk to him.
It's getting really frustrating and I'm starting to feel really lonely, especially because I'm up north this week, and none of my friends are around to hang out with. I go back to camp at the end of the day and know I'm just going to sit in my room alone and go to bed early, with no one to talk to, and it's making this week drag out something terrible.
So if you feel at all inclined, please send some love my way! I could really use it this week.
