200 days.
6 months, 16 days.
28 weeks, 4 days.
4,800 hours.
Essentially- a long freaking time.
In the last 200 days I have:
-Redecorated my living room
-purchased an iPhone
-survived Easter with a stomach bug
-flew to California
-traveled home to Pennsylvania twice
-decided to move to North Carolina
-successfully completed a solo PCS move in the middle of a deployment with 2 cats, a dog, and my mommy.
-lost 15 lbs (I still have 5 freaking more to go.)
-saved enough money so I could be unemployed and incredibly bored until a good job comes along
-Unpacked 136 boxes in the new house. (I left the one labeled "Hats" for the boy to take care of.)
-Exchanged lots of emails, letters, packages, and pictures with my guy, and received many calls from an "unknown" caller.
It has been a long 200 days. Not as long as past deployments- I've said it before, but this non-combat deployment aspect makes a HUGE difference on my stress levels- but still long enough that I can feel myself slowly going crazy with anticipation. I am very ready for this deployment to be over- mostly so I can see if my husband and I are actually capable of living under the same roof again. After 3 years of doing the geo-bachelor thing- we are taking bets on how long before we both get sick of each other!
I am ready for him to be home to see where he lives- I sort of feel bad that at the moment, he needs directions to get to his own house. I am ready for him to see his dog. I am ready for him to take out the trash, walk the dog, clean up the kitchen after I cook dinner, help me with laundry, help me with cleaning... the list goes on and on.
I am just ready for us to be a team again. I am exhausted, and really ready to hand off some responsibilities. As easy as I make it seem as I manage every aspect of both of our lives, I'm tired. I'm ready for him to make me crazy because he seems like he's not listening- then repeats every word back verbatim when I yell at him about not listening.
In a few days, it will be October. Then I will finally be able to say that my guy will be home NEXT month!
