Well.. Here I am again.
I just got back from a very hectic 2 week's out. We went to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Let me tell you it was FUN... the only sad part is the whole time I was wishing my wife was there with me =( She'd have loved see'ing me actually dance... (which is a very rare thing, and I'm sorry if this makes you jelous Love..) Yes I got a lot of beads to show off with now.. .and grabbed some that my wife will just LOVE. So at least I get some points out of it...
The day after we got back, is the day that started my big inspection. Coming back after having maybe a good 12 hours of sleep over 6 days is a very funny thing. You don't realise just how loopy you actually are.. yet can be amazed at just how well you can do the job. After countless countless hours of taking my space from a shithole to a nice clean wonderland, I passed my inspection with a 90% (I really do wish I had done better, but I am satasfied with this result).
So here I am.. I've been up since 2am because I had the Rev watch.. and I'm sitting here drinking a few beers and talking to my lovely wife via IM's. Then it hits me... I leave in a few weeks.. will be gone for 6 whole months. It hits me yet I still don't think I can comprehend it.... it's just something 'that big' I guess...
Maybe I'm just in shellshock about it... or maybe just due to having found a friend of mine from the ship hanging by a noose ON the ship has made me push everything back somewhat... I'm not sure either way.
Tradgedy and joy all coming to me in a great heap. The joy is that I will get to be with my wife in close to 36 hours. I will once again have her in my arms and be able to soothe her pains and let her soothe mine at the same time.
But then I leave. Painful thought to know. I get to see great sites, this I do admit... but at the same time I will hate being so far from my wife, and it in many ways pains me to know she will have it worse off than me, because I know her, and I worry that she will worry too much.. LoL
That's it in a quick nutshell. I'm getting ready for deployment.. about to go spend time with my wife and my wonderful stepchild, and I'm also GETTING OUT OF NORFOLK. Thank fucking God....
