It’s the eve of my birthday, and even though I was hoping to be able to see Girl by now I have good news… I may have finally gotten a nice paying job, and with it I have paid vacation…. that means I will be able to see her soon. *fingers crossed* I did well on the interview and start next week. Lets hope this works out.
I miss her so much.

I have been busting my butt since getting fired last year. I am working again but this time only part time, and it’s just not enough for me to save up anything to see her. So work isn’t working out for me right now.
It’s really stressful not having any money. I am sure some of you can relate, but the worst part is not being able to even plan a date. I want to be with her so bad it’s driving me crazy. It has been so long since I have held her in my arms, it’s maddening. I am looking for a second job hopefully that will be enough to see her soon.

We’ve decided to move from a little server with Wordpress to Tumblr. It’s easy, no software to upgrade, and we can interact with other LDR-ers a lot more. We hope you enjoy our posts.
www.5242miles.com will be our URL!

We’re jobless no more! After -long-months- of not having a steady income, we are both working! Which obviously mean WE CAN PLAN A VISIT ONCE AGAIN. Not having an income can be a problem in any relationship, but it’s a very important issue when you’re in an international long distance relationship. Plane tickets, passports, visas, so many things to consider! We won’t be able to see each other in December like last year, but we’re trying it’s the earliest we can. Being apart for over a year has been hard on us, and we choose to not use this site to bitch about it, heh. Girl.#36 — Eeeeee!

Sorry there haven’t been a lot of posts lately, I just haven’t had internet and the little net I could use here and there I’ve dedicated it to talk to the Boy. But we’ll be back to a regular updating schedule this week for sure. ♥ Girl.Welcome to the Internet!

Music makes us feel closer. ~ A couple of posts ago someone recomended us a song (I did like the lyrics very much!), and it made me want to share our playlist on the site. Daft Punk – Something About Us (Our song) Incubus – I Miss You (This one makes us both cry) John Denver – Leaving On A Jet Plane (To be honest I like this version, even if I’ve never watched Glee) (All are random links on YouTube except for Something About Us… that’s the link he sent me when we first started talking.) ~ Girl.#31

The last few weeks have been really hard, and I haven’t been able to sleep much lately. I go to bed at 2 am just to wake back at at 4 and I don’t fall back asleep until almost 6. Part of it due to stress, the other part is due to the lack of knowing what will happen day to day. I have been trying like crazy to find a new job so I can save up to see Girl this Christmas like we want to, but I am running out of time and have been forced to apply to something I didn’t want to do. It’s all in an attempt to make as much as I can to see her as quick as possible…. Night after night, for weeks now, I say good night to her and go to bed only to wake back up a little bit latter. Thinking too much about what might happen if I don’t find some work soon.. Just when i think I’ve lost it, I look at a gift from her. An early birthday present and think to myself her saying “Everything will be OK, we will make the best of this”. With that thought I snap out of the rut I am in and start thinking better thoughts. She is my compass through this ordeal, keeping me on the right path. Its now 5 am. I am off to bed trying to get to some sleep. Man, I wish she was here with me. I don’t think i would have such an issue sleeping if my bed wasn’t so empty. Boy.Been thinking

There has been a change of pace in my life. I have recently been let go at my job so that kinda puts a damper on things. But the Girl and I see this as a way to move on with my life. Anyone who knows me knows that the last 4 years hadn’t been easy on me. The only saving grace is that I fell in love with her. She helps me in ways that no one else can. This is why I have decided not to let this get me down, and once again, “with her support I feel like I can do anything”. I have found an interest loose leaf tea, and it gets me off my ass in the morning during this hunt for a new job. When I was visiting Girl I was introduced to this regional drink called Mate. THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! I liked it so much I wasn’t going to go home without bringing some with me. Needless to say, getting 3 packages of Mate thought the airport was a fun trip *thumbs up to TSA*. I drink it all the time from the gourd I got when I was down there (I use my bombilla so much the coating is now tarnished). Mate is so much healthier for me than those damn energy drinks I used to drink all the time; it keeps me active for much longer time, as much kick as a cup of coffee without the jitters. Back to loose leaf tea, I have found several stores that carry it here, and I’m amazed at the wide range of flavors they offer. I have a friend that used to work at a tea shop and he gave me an infuser with some samples of tea in exchange of some Mate. The green tea he gave is amazing, I liked it so much I went and found some samples online to try as well, as you can see from the picture. I am also cutting out most of the processed crap that was in my diet, trying to eat and drink better. This is all part of me trying to make better choices and live a healthier life for her.
