Goodbyes Are The Pits

[catalina_francisco]

Have survived the night, dropped him at the airport this morning and am now sitting here hoping the next two weeks pass quickly and he returns safely from Saudi Arabia. I think the renovations will take on a life of their own...I have found smashing into tiles with chisel and metal hammer is very therapeutic, and gets the job done!!

Tried being brave and strong in the face of the tension of this business trip, but finally crumbled last night. LOL, poor man was getting privately worried before that and thinking I was handling it all a bit too well for his comfort and peace of mind. My tears and ranting about it all set his mind at ease though, at least in some way. Thankfully he realised it was not that reassuring to remind me he was staying in a secure compound and how much his company had insured him for so I would be taken care of if anything goes wrong...as if money could replace him.

So thought I would share incase I start acting strange and you all think I have flipped my lid. Feel free to post as many stupid jokes as you want to this thread....could use the smiles. Think the shelves will become devoid of chocolate at the local supermarket too!!

totally fucking unpleasant, I'd be losing my MIND, not that encouraging, but still.

I do agree that excercise combined with eating a pound and a half of M n M's may be the only answer.

It's only 2 weeks, I hope they are safe painless and over soon.

Thanks....figure the heavy work will give me more scope with the mission of chocolate consumption. Has been a couple of tough weeks knowing he was going, getting told a date one day only to have it cancelled the next and then to finally have less than a day's warning. Strange how the body reacts and feels it has become a liquid mass of jelly.

Catalina, that sucks. Just imagine what Christmas is going to be like, though!

*desperately tries to think of jokes*

Nope, nothing. I might appear to be a jokey slut most of the time, but I'm a complete slushy deep down.

Hey, that might've made you laugh!

I hope the time passes quickly for you, and who knows, you might have the house finished by the time he gets back!

That *was* a joke, but you never know, you might get a visit from a troop of elves.

 

[graceanne]

*great big hug*

Wow, I can't imagine. I'd be totally hysteric. Well, not literally, but damn near. Two whole weeks, and he's gonna be in Saudi Arabia! omg

*another great big hug*

*sends some e-chocolate covered cherries*

I'll see if I can find some jokes for you.

LOL, I wish, and from all the messages I was getting about him trusting me to choose what to use where etc., I think he was wishing a bit too. Oh well, should have our kitchen by then which means I can at least cook Christmas Day to welcome him home. Perhaps he can baste me while I baste the turkey.

Thanks......I have already begun on the chocolate and may need to go for fresh supplies before long. I smuggled his clothes he wore yesterday to keep with me, and think on all the things we are planning to do and experience together which all makes me feel more secure he will be back. Failing that I told him if he let anything happen to his gorgeous self there would be no end of trouble coming from me no matter where in the universe or beyond he might try to hide.

When Master was in hospital I made a "nest" in our bed of His pillows and His shirt, it was comforting to have His smell and the pillows felt like He was snuggled into my back. The bed was not made properly for 11 days......

LOL, I had a minor stress out last night because this thing ha been up in the air so long it seems I had been washing everything almost before he had time to get out of it. I paniced and thought I had washed everything, but it was a busy night so he still had his clothing on (well most of it) so I decided it was now MINE!!

[witcha]

Uhmm..sorry don't know any jokes in English and I'm pretty sure the ones in Polish wouldn't make you smile

Can only send lots of fluffy cuddles your way

Now you've done it! I'll be thinking about that as I cook my own turkey this year.

Hugs and gropes, Catalina..

Maybe this month the Subbie Sewing and Perving Circle should meet at your house for some tea and sympathy!

 

[shy slave]

Being apart is yuck to saythe least.
On a bright note at least this time of year the shops are full of chocolate so you should have a plentiful supply even if the kids of europe have to go without.

 

[graceanne]

Got a joke for you.

Why don't witches wear panties?

Why does Santa have such a smashing garden?

Why is Mrs. Claus filing for divorce?

If athletes get athlete's foot, what do astronauts get?

answers in my next post

 

[snowy ciara]

Why does Santa have such a smashing garden?

Because he loves to Ho, Ho, Ho.


Why is Mrs. Claus filing for divorce?

Because of the Ho, Ho, Ho's

If athletes get athlete's foot, what do astronauts get?

Missile-toe!

No applause just throw money!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh this brings back so many memories.....unfortunately we will soon be back to distance contact, though hopefully for only a small period of time.
Catalina

I saw this thread and remembered you saying something about this.Just think how much fun you will have when he returns. When you feel down give yourself a present, a massage or a manicure,you simply cannot feel sad when your waited on hand and foot.I hope time flies quickly for you

 

[Desdemona]

Catalina, I'm sending prayers, positive thoughts and hopes to both of you.

 

[catalina_francisco]

Thanks everyone. He has phoned several times already and by chance was seated on the plane next to the big knob of the organisation he is going to help out. When they got talking and each other found out who the other was, he was formally invited to dinner at the guy's house while he is there. Oh, how I wish I were there to explore and enjoy these cultural ways so different to ours, not to mention see the buildings and scenery I have seen in pictures that just look divine. He is not overjoyed with the luxury (not...lol) of his room in the security compound, but guess you can't expect 5 star standard when it is designed to try and protect your butt.

I am remaining positive though I found myself sitting last night wondering what to do with myself. Have heaps to do but didn't feel like doing any of it and felt like the house was empty. I plan to drag my son downstairs tonight to watch the final of Strictly Come Dancing, though as Julian Clary is a finalist, and we have been fans of his for eons (I raised my kids on his comedy and camp beauty), I don't think it will take much dragging. We will be glued to the screen, holding our breath, for an hour or so and then will have to replay it on video for sure.

Oh, and after getting lost for almost an hour and finally finding the supremarket (haven't lived here long enough to find it in the backstreets), I resisted the urge to clean out the chocolate shelves, even bought some healthy food, and a small chocolate treat in anticipation he will think I have been good and deserve it!!

i hope you are doing ok catalina. Maybe these will atleast bring a smile to your face


THINGS THAT HALLMARK CARDS DON'T SAY

My tire was thumping.

I thought it was flat

When I looked at the tire...

I noticed your cat.

Sorry!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Heard your wife left you,

How upset you must be.

But don't fret about it...

She moved in with me.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Looking back over the years

that we've been together,

I can't help but wonder...

"What the hell was I thinking?"

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Congratulations on your wedding day!

Too bad no one likes your husband.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

How could two people as beautiful as you

Have such an ugly baby?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I've always wanted to have

someone to hold,

someone to love.

After having met you ..

I've changed my mind.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I must admit, you brought Religion into my life.

I never believed in Hell until I met you.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

As the days go by, I think of how lucky I am...

That you're not here to ruin it for me.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Congratulations on your promotion.

Before you go...

Would you like to take this knife out of my back?

You'll probably need it again.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Happy Birthday, Uncle Dad!

(Available only in Tennessee, Kentucky & West Virginia)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Happy birthday! You look great for your age.

Almost Lifelike!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

When we were together,

you always said you'd die for me.

Now that we've broken up,

I think it's time you kept your promise.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

We have been friends for a very long time ..

let's say we stop?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I'm so miserable without you

it's almost like you're here.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Congratulations on your new bundle of joy.

Did you ever find out who the father was?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Your friends and I wanted to do

something special for your birthday.

So we're having you put to sleep.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

So your daughter's a hooker,

and it spoiled your day.

Look at the bright side,

it's really good pay.

She kept sitting on pinoccio's face and moaning "Lie to me."

 

[catalina_francisco]

LOL, thanks for the laughs Sierra and graceanne..came in handy this morning. Have been racing against the clock all week to get this kitchen ready and am still behind and aching all over so what happens?!! First thing this morning the power disappears. Of course the power box was different to what I am used to and in Dutch so that was little use, my phones had been knocked loose and I didn't realise so I had no phone contact (though who would I call when I don't understand what those recorded messages are telling me to do ). Phoned a certain man on the little credit left on the mobile and that didn't help. Tried to think positive that perhaps all the houses had lost power so would just have to wait...but that never works for me for long.

The one neighbour I have met was out so got brave and asked her neighbour if she had power which she did, then got her paniced for me as she said her husband takes care of all such things and she wouldn't even know who to call. Finally saw another neighbour out shaking her mats so tried again. LOL, she immediately called her husband who was only too pleased to come take a look and show me how to tell if it was all working. He found the problem in 5 minutes and with a chuckle had everything burring away in no time. ROFLMAO, one way to meet the neighbours, covered in plaster, hair a mess, and needy. Sheesh, think I wiull have to have a coffee morning once the house is presentable. So back to plastering and painting and trying to step around all the bits and pieces.
