So, today feels normal. I've gone to work, normally, etc. Except today is the first day that Lucas (Mr. Femalegamer? Malegamer, then, I guess?) is off to pursue a law degree. He's going to school 3+ hours away, because that's pretty the only choices. He'll be living in an apartment there Monday-Friday, coming home Friday nights and leaving Sunday evening.
This is going to suck, and I dearly hope that it's worth it.
I'm someone who likes stability. I just celebrated ten years at my job last July - my first job after college. I love to have schedules and I hate being late to things. I want to know when we go on vacation what museums we're going to and which shows and try to have it all figured out. I think some people would be surprised about that, given things like my house looking like it regularly gets tornadoes, or watched me panic when I run out of time.
I didn't say I was always good at said scheduling, just that I try to do it. Right now I'm working on my banner that I need for Labor Day weekend. I've been trying to get it started for some time, but other things keep interfering with my carefully worked out schedule. I think I'll still get it done, but there were other projects I wanted to do before then that will either not happen, or I'll be getting help. (
sorchekyrkbey is helping me with a new dress for my knighting there.)
Anyway, I feel a little bad. Because I miss him so much, and I want to be an example of a strong, independent woman, not someone who falls apart because she won't see her husband for four days.
Happy Monday.
