Here today, gone tomorrow!

Yes, David is gone once again. But he was here for a really long time or so it seemed at the time. He will be gone for another month. It is starting to become apparent that there aren't many days with him before he goes on his "7" month cruise ( it could be seven, it could be 8 or 9 too.) It is just coming up all to fast.

Although I have said before I would rather them go and be gone and pulling in and out of port. It is stressful to have him come home and we have a mad dash to wash and mend all his clothes, get things done around the house and town that I need him for. And it is stressful emotionally. When he is here for only a week or two, it is hard to know whether you are saying hello or good bye, the turnaround is so quick.

This time, it was really hard because everyone else had a month and a half together, and they promised us leave and then took it away, and I really saw what a great team we are. Just the way we can cook dinner together and clean up and tackle all these tasks, all that made us seem like an actual couple that has time together. It was hard saying good bye to that.

I keep on wondering how I do this over and over. And the answer is David. I love him, toa point where all of this military mess is just worth it, for a week here and 10 days there. I stay up here for bits of us being together.

So he is probably going to kill me for showing the world his one weakness. But it is so cute.

ps- something else that is gone is summer. the sun and warm weather GONE! back to miserable seattle weather.
