Here’s some REALLY bad fairy-tale writing for you all today. Sitting on hold, being hungry, worrying about hubby, feeling tired and icky – all equal completely useless writings:
Once upon a time
In a land far, far away
There lived a princess
Whose prince was in a land
Many leagues hence
She would get word
From him daily
On how he was doing and
What was happening.
And then suddenly there was nothing
And she was sad.
There is a Jamaican quote, I am sure, regarding getting used to something only to ..read more

If you asked me what the trigger was for walking down memory lane today, I don’t think I could tell you. I started with when I first started playing WoW, scrolling through old screenshots of me in-game in those early days. Those triggered some bad memories, because the people with whom I played with at first are no longer a part of my life. It wasn’t so much the fact they were now persona non grata, but more the how ..read more

Since we haven’t been told which day exactly hubby is leaving, we sit and wait this week … wait for a phone call. One phone call that could come at any time – night or day – that will forever change our lives. It sounds dramatic, but I tell you that it is not untrue nor is it overstated. This deployment has already changed us in ways that I don’t know that I would see normally. If it were not ..read more

Coping: the Casing Ceremony was a bad way to leave you all hanging. I am fine. Hubby was marvelous. I collected myself and was able to stride through, head high. I’m still doing that. This is the last week. One full weekend left, a few hurried days next week and then that’ll be the end of that.
He slipped yesterday saying he told someone that he was excited at going … and I smiled. I KNOW he’s excited about going. I ..read more

Suddenly, there’s so much going on that I can barely keep up. Every single day this week has been one of those where I have been scrambling around trying to get everything done satisfactorily before hubby gets home so I can milk more time with him to the fullest.
Monday was probably the sanest of them all. Coincidentally, it was also the date of my last post.
Tuesday was madness, I got up and tried to get work done before taking hubby ..read more

His orders are sitting on the table. It’s a reality then. I guess I was thinking and hoping that something would come up and the whole thing gets cancelled or postponed … stupidly. It was a go the minute we got orders to report to this duty station way back in June of last year. The reality of seeing it in print … is staggeringly sobering. It’s an instant smile-wiper.
He is definitely going.
Frankly, aside from all-of-a-sudden sober, I am not ..read more
