The Blues

Well good morning/afternoon, world.

Today is the very first day that our looming deployment has really affected me. It started last night, like a little itch. Today it's a full on rash. I need to shake it off, to get over it, and to not scratch it and make it worse.

As if to rub the looming deployment in my face, I had the pleasure of getting up at 5:30am to take Don's seabag to the drop off point. I guess it's really real. The upside was that before I even had my car door open, three guys were rushing over and took care of the massive, leaden bag. If I had had to struggle with it, I honestly would've cried.

So, now it's time to move on to things that make me happy: walking the dogs, drinking scalding coffee, and craft time!

I know I'm loved. I'm well cared for. I have the best of friends and the most wonderful family. I have most of my health, most of my sanity, and four pumpkin spice candles crying out to be lit.

I can turn this icky day into a good one. I know I can! =]
