soldiergrrrlHe left yesterday at 1645-ish. I just got a comment, and he's in Germany. He'll call me when he gets into Kuwait.
My parents made it, from San Antonio and Dallas, and brandyeileen came to offer support, too. The Centurion was there, as well, as we'd been hanging out before John left. :-) It's hard to explain how much that helps, to have folx around you to hold on to when the world tips over a bit. I didn't cry before he got on the bus, and I'm sure I embarrassed the snot out of him, because as his name was called and he headed for the door of the bus, I yelled out "I love you, John!"
Amazingly enough, I am not comotose with grief or sadness. Part of it is that I just *can't* be. I have too much stuff on my plate right now. Am ignoring the cell phone, mostly, to try and get stuff done. We'll see how effective this actually is, you know?
Um. Let's see. Have a lovely bruise from a drop shot on my left shoulder, and a small one on my thigh. My shield shipped from Windrose earlier this week and I should have it soon. I think we're going to strap it to be ambidextrous, so that I can mess with people's heads. :-)
Got grumped at to start sewing more garb, dammit. :-D I should, and it's not hard, I'm just being lazy.
Oh, speaking of being lazy, I need to start keeping the food diary again. Seriously need to.
Okay, that's it for now.
