I can be a bit dramatic. I admit it. But I have decided that geo-bachelor was a word/concept/condition invented just to piss me off. He is not deployed. Thank God. But he is "decom"ing the boat..and that means he ain't here either.
Pros (aka reasons why its better than a sub)
1 He doesnt have internet in the barracks but I am sure there is a starbucks with free wi-fi in a 10 mile radius.
2.He can send emails that arent screened and sent 3 weeks later AND he can send attachments
3. His phone works
4. He gets sun exposure (ignore the fact that its 100 degrees)
Cons (aka why i hate it)
1. He is miles and miles away (and also miles from an airport)
2. shift work. he has a phone so that he can call at odd hours
3. He just got home from a deployment where they left early and came back late. He just got home!
4. I am stuck here.
5. Most of the boat PCS'd (including my favorite wives) so i gotta make new friends.
For better or for worse, yesterday was our anniversary and to ease the pain of absence he bought and assembled my very own hammock! I am sad he wont be in it with me but atleast i can curl up with the cat and a good book.
He even treated me to dinner and got us more "cake topper" since he was deployed on our last anniversary. so thoughtful. I almost forgot he would be hitting the road today.
Ugh. just when i think i know how to handle this navy thing, they throw us something else.
Living apart sucks. gotta find a way to make tomorrow as awesome as yesterday!
being apart sucks. doesnt matter why you are apart. hope it gets better!
