So, before Ben left, he was working for this man, Brother Goodwin, who went to church for him. He rarely went but when he did, he got 16 bucks an hour for yardwork, office work, etc. Well, the last two days of work, I went with him, not expecting to be paid. I just wanted to spend every moment possible with him. Well, they asked me if I could work for them while he's gone. With cuts in hours at American Eagle, this was great. Especially since I filled out about 16 applications for resturants to add on as a second job. Ben said to keep busy and working for the Goodwins seemed to be the perfect answer.
I called yesterday, got no answer. So, I just called and they are out of town and I won't be able to start working till tomorrow. So, poo. Well, I call work, hoping they'll use my call in, they don't. Great. Jen's at school. Mom is gone? I dunno where to. Dad is in DC. I am alone. With the dogs. And of course, Ben on my mind.
For some foolish reason, I believed Gunny Jackson when he told me Ben might get a chance to call from the airport. And then believing both Gunny Jackson, and SSgt Clausell that he would call when he first gets there. 15 seconds to say, "This is Recruit Gripp. I've made it to San Diego safely. Thank you for your support. Brains." We even made the "Brains" as a code word for I love you. So, part of me just wants to wait for that. But i feel it's not going to happen.
I guess I'm going to throw on some workout clothes and go bike riding. I don't realyl like to exercise. I don't go to the gym. But Ben wanted me in a routine, so he figured bike riding would be best. God, I miss him already.
