I keep forgetting that they cut the grass every single Monday now. It’s one of the dubious perks of having a deployed spouse and living on-post. I don’t have to worry about managing the yard, because the housing people take care of it automatically. Why dubious?

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.

Soon after I got better, we noticed that Bear was acting stranger and stranger. He would wail for no reason, wander around sniffing at strange places, wailing. And I know it was crying and not plain meowing now, after the fact. At first we were just annoyed because we thought he was begging for food. We’d feed him, he’d eat and he’d start wailing again.
