Anxiously awaiting long term Patience!!

[JWS]

Well interesting turn of events. SoCal had a bit of an earth quake today, so I called to see if she was ok. We played a bit of phone tag but after awhile I got to talk to her.

She said it was nothing and was very bubbly and happy on the phone because it was kind of exciting and everyone had called to see if she was ok. Then we talked about the car and I told her the shop does not do sat appointments but they have an early morning Friday one. So she is coming up on Thursday so we can drop it off that night, then while it is getting fixed we are going to a friends BBQ after work, and she seemed to be looking forward to that. She was at the pet store as we talked so we chatted about the pets, then since she seemed to be in a good mood I told her about my day at work and she seemed to really enjoy that. Then I told her to let me know if her plans changed and that I had to go.

She was ok with ending the conversation but I know she could have kept talking so I got to leave her wanting more. It was about 6 mins but it was fun and happy.

Pisces- I don’t mind talking about my job, in fact you can’t get most pilots to shut up about themselves. I fly fighters for America’s most capable combat power but I will keep the specifics out to remain anonymous. My job is great and some days it feels like work but anytime we are in the air it’s really hard to believe that we get paid to do this. It is high stress though and line between coming home with a smile on your face or not at all can be very thin. The constant reminder that people die in this business always weighs heavy on our minds, and that of our spouses. In that respect I can relate to your H and his stresses, but where as he works deals with the worst people in the country I get to deal with America best and brightest everyday.
