Only two weeks until he's gone for 3 months

My sweetheart is leaving for a training course in two weeks and won't be back until it's nearly August. We've been apart before due to deployment, training and other stuff like that, but it never seems to get easy. This time I'm feeling an especially large raincloud because when he gets back, he's moving to another state and it will be several MORE months before I can follow.

We use Skype and email daily when he's gone to keep in touch, but there's a small chance that the lodging he'll be in might not have internet in his room. Needless to say we'll both be extremely unhappy if that is the case!

Do you have any tips for dealing with long-distance periods in relationships?

Day off dilemma - what to do?

My days off are usually Mondays and Tuesdays, but I worked yesterday and have today free instead. For some reason it's really throwing me off! I didn't schedule much because I originally had an event, but that's since been cancelled, so now I'm stuck with my wheels spinning. I think the gloomy weather we've been having is also taking a bit of a toll on me.

My restlessness is your gain - you can use the phrase "Wednesday Weirdness" as a bonus entry into one of my current giveaways.

Next (eventual) Stop, San Antonio

We just found out a few weeks ago that we're moving to San Antonio. My husband is in the Air Force, so we go where they tell us. He'll be moving out first some time this Summer; I still have some school left so I'll be in Oklahoma for several months after he leaves. We've been apart before for training and a deployment, so we're not too worried about the distance relationship thing, but it's always hard to be seperated.

This will be our first Permanent Change of Station, or "PCS". I'll be posting bits of our moving adventures here over the next year or so, so stay tuned!

My most interesting job so far: mermaid (see above)


Since I'm now officially not in school this semester, let the filler job hunt begin! I have an idea of where I want to work for the next few months, but I'm unsure if they're hiring or if I can get enough hours there.

Today's main task: scope out potential job and, if possible, get hired.
