Ernie is gone.  He was collected at 12pm yesterday.  We’ve been without him for 30 hours 🙁  He flies out to LA at 9:45am tomorrow morning.  I miss him so much.

The new girl is working out really well.  She is smart, she is interested in her work, and she wants to work hard and do well.  I am confident that by the time I leave in 2 months time, it will be practically seamless.  She won’t have skills as far as drafting documents, but that will come with time and repetition.  She has only been there 3 days, but she has already lifted the strain on me.  I am very thankful that she came along.

Mike leaves on Friday.  We have to leave for the airport at around 8am, so tomorrow is our last day.  And I have to work.  I am sad that I couldn’t get the day off work, but what can I do?  Sitting here dreading Friday coming around doesn’t feel good at all, and I almost want it to just come around already, but it is going to be an awful day.  I will be a wreck, so will he, and at the end of it, I come back to this bedroom, which will be completely empty.

Oh, I’m just so sad.  I feel so lost already.  Making plans for things and knowing he won’t be here.  

It’s just two months, best case scenario.  Three or four months in the worst case.  Fuuuuuuuck.

I feel for you. I had similar feelings about spending the summer studying in Prague while my husband stayed in the states. Separation is so hard 🙁 at least it’s only for a little while. Hang in there, you’ll get through it. Safe travels for them both!! <3

I’m sorry, don’t know what to say *hugs* You will get through it, but right now is probably the worst.

I’m glad Eddie arrived safely!
