I hardly think about posting anymore, which is pretty evident by my lack of updates. Now that I have, in theory, someone to talk to about everything that goes on in my life, I don't feel the need to vent on here. I'm still working on the communication thing with Corey though. After all, I spent the last 20 or so years of my life learning to deal with things on my own and it's a bit of an adjustment sharing with another person.
This weekend isn't going to be a good one for me. I have duty and my duty section is working both tonight and tomorrow night. I have to go in around three o'clock to get things ready for the shift and figure out what it is I'm supposed to be doing. The thing is, they (meaning the people in charge of everyone) made me the supervisor of one of the shops (the line shack). I'm responsible for making sure that the most junior shop is doing all of their assigned tasks. My LPO told me to be flattered that I was selected to run the shop in the first place, even if I have no idea what's going on. I just hope we don't get left with a ton of work that the people on the shift before us were too lazy to do.
Another downside to this weekend is that Corey drove up north to San Bernardino this morning, which is two hours away. He's helping out a couple of his friends with re-modeling a house since he's so incredibly knowledgable in construction. It's a very appealing quality :) We both went up there a couple of weekends ago to help, but I obviously couldn't make it this time. I'm more than just slightly bummed that I won't get to spend time with Corey for two days, especially because we haven't spent more than a few hours apart since we became an item. It might end up being a good thing, considering how attached I've gotten to him. We're going to have to spend a lot of time apart eventually with me transferring to a command that is going on lots of detachments this summer and a deployment in January. And, I also wonder if maybe he needs some time away from me. I don't ever want to end up as one of those clingy girlfriends who gets jealous or flips out over the most insignificant details. I've never been like that and I don't want to start now.
Well, I have a term paper to write for my constitutional law class that I've been putting off for awhile. I have about ten days left to turn it in and now that I have a few hours today and tomorrow where I won't have anything to do, I might be able to squeeze out a few pages. Stay positive for me, please.
