7 - Preparing for Ben's Homecoming Edition

1. Evie is still sick! Still! It will be a full week tomorrow. I think I see an end nearing but I am afraid to talk about it lest it backfire and Evie stays sick for even longer.

2. Ben left Africa today, 130AM Africa time to come home!! I am sooo happy!!

3. He has five layovers, and some are in really cool places like Ireland and Italy. I told him to get me postcards from all his layovers.

4. I am really trying not to think about Ben being here in just 3 days. It is unreal to me.

5. We both agree that this will be our weirdest reuniting in the 6 years that we have been together. Everything is so different now. When he left we were in the townhouse. Evelyn could sit up but that was it. I was still pumping for Evie. It was winter time. It's just all so different. All in good ways at least.

6. I am preparing for Ben's homecoming. I bought ingredients for Ben's favorite dishes (hummus and Kathleen's spinach souffle). I started doing laundry today, bed linens and clothes and towels. Tomorrow I am going to get Ben's Jeep an oil change and get his car cleaned up inside and out. I started cleaning the bathroom tonight but I am not done and I still need to vacuum the whole upstairs. I am getting closer to done. I am trying to kind of pace myself so I don't run out of stuff to do and go crazy between now and Monday.

7. Triathlon training has ceased since last Thursday. I really want to get back to training but since Evie hasn't been sleeping at night, neither have I. My only chance to sleep is in the morning when I would normally train. Hopefully I will be back to training by Sunday.
