All work and no play...I miss my boy
Argh!!! Keep praying for Mike. He just called me (finally! - later than he has been the last few days). They're STILL having issues with the system he was working on.
He said another guy flew out from Houston today to work with him at this plant in Louisiana, and now both of them have no clue what's going on. They worked all day, up until now (7pm central), and whatever it is is broken. So tomorrow they're calling the manufacturer of whatever the malfunctioning product is. Everything was working until he upgraded the system to their new requirements BUT they should have known this other part was out of place with the new system, and they should have had that updated before he upgraded. So, he's going to call his boss, and then call me back later.
I can only hope he might be returning to me tomorrow, but I'm not going to get my hopes up. *sigh* Please continue to pray and think good thoughts for him. He really appreciates it. And thank you all so much.

I heard from him a little while ago, and he's not getting his hopes up for tomorrow, either. We're looking at *maybe* Tuesday...or later. I miss him. It's just really difficult. When he is finished for the day, he's too tired to really talk or chat, so we chit-chat a bit on IM, and then say "goodnight" on the phone, but it's frustrating the both of us, and I can feel the strain. Tonight when we talked, I was adamant about how I'd deal with the situation, and he thought I was getting angry, but I wasn't. I just expressed my frustration. We didn't expect he'd be gone this long. He doesn't have many changes of clothing, has had to do laundry, is tired of eating out, and living out of a hotel room. He's tired of sleeping alone in a bed without me, and tired of not feeling like talking much when we are even able to. If we'd known he was going to be gone for this length of time, both of us could have handled that. But this has thrown everything off kilter. It's difficult because we weren't expecting this to be such a long work situation, and it just keeps getting more lengthy. I just miss him. *sigh*
Well, this made me smile. Thanks readingmezzo!
