I Know What I'll Be Doing This Summer

[i_17bingo]

This isn't the first time I've driven home from the airport, knowing I won't be seeing my wife for months; it's the fourth. By now, we've gotten really good at the packing and the financial planning and the chaos and me spending the next several days cleaning up the house. But I would be naive, not to mention stupid, if I believed for one minute

Ooh, glad to hear you've got a dentist to worry about, that will keep you occupied!

I'm sad you're going to be on your own for the next while. What is it your wife does that she needs to travel for so long for her job? (And if I missed it, or this isn't information you want to supply, I apologise in advance).

I haven't mentioned it before; at first she was a grad student on a Fulbright (you know, back when the US still HAD Fulbrights), but now she works for the federal government as a librarian. A tattooed, globe-hopping librarian who Cconsults with various executive departments/bureaus/agencies.

My wife is AWESOME.

Wow, she really is - it's just a shame you have to share her for so long :(

Oh wow, that's a long time away.

Feel free to vent here! I'm sure some days will be tougher than others... hopefully not too many though.

I hadn't planned on using LJ for that, but I think I just might go for it. It would help me, like a lot.

Oh, do! If there's a plus to this, it's hopefully that we get to see you more :D

I'm going through your LJ looking for the entry I told you to submit for the Idol book, but when I saw how many comments this entry had, I decided to have a look since I was, after all, the first person who'd commented...

Anyhow, hmm, interesting that you haven't needed to vent about this yet, huh?
