5 weeks to go...

Scott will be home in just over 5 (long) weeks! This has been a really shitty deployment. Too many bad things happening while he is gone. However, I am trying to forget all the bad. It is not easy. I am trying to stay motivated and optimistic, really not easy! I miss my husband, he really is my best friend (followed very closely by Dale, very VERY closely).

I am riding my new bike a lot, walking the dogs whenever the weather permits, eating as healthy as I can, and really working at getting in the best physical condition. I feel a lot better. I am hoping it will help my psyche too :) Is it possible to force yourself to be happy and appreciative? Well, it will be if I have anything to say about it.

And on a good note, I have things to look forward to between now and Scott's return. Cherry picking with the Nanbu Ladies, Sendai shopping with Terra, lots of hiking with Jackie, and once my resignation day arrives I will be getting my craft room organized - that alone is exciting! So, yay for optimism!
