MrD is stranded in Norfolk through Tuesday until his plane ships him to Afghan-land. My kid sis Roo is keeping him company through the weekend since she's stationed on the east coast. We had sibling support on both ends.
I'll answer you all in advance: I'm fine. If by fine I have yet to sleep in my bed since he left (had company), and plan on not focusing that he's NOT HERE and I'm ALONE. After all, his mother is here and she also sleeps alone so it really reminds me that I shouldn't be moping or selfish in my solitude. If you want to be supportive ask me in 30 days and perhaps in a more creative way like: What have you been up too? What do you have planned with MrD gone? When are you getting your tattoo? Or perhaps anything along those lines ... I'm trying my hardest from the getgo to not stumble into a depressive mode and accidentally rubbing my nose with it isn't probably all that helpful. So far my only irritation is lying in the assumption that due to him not being here I should be BORED. Since when do I normally have free time? Even with him here my standard week day schedule is wake up at 6a, work from 7a-4/5p, do chores, eat dinner, workout at 7p-8ish, sleep between 9-10p. Wherein lyes my idle time?
Anyhoo ... the support is still highly appreciated and I should be snapping back into my regular blog reading shortly. For any requesting his mailing address and care package details, I'll get you that as soon as I have it and I'll also be posting nifty support your troops, general care package sites (including Cup-o-Joe!) in the near future as well. They all need support and to be reminded they are not forgotten.
Thanks again
xoxo
Darla
