I haven't talked to H for only a day and a half, and I already miss him! It's always been so lonely here at home whenever he's away. I've got our boys to keep me company, but, of course, it's not the same.

One small positive this morning. H called last night after I was already asleep and left a message saying, "I know we agreed not to talk while I'm gone, but I just wanted to let you know I'm tired of driving, so here's the number to the motel where I'm staying for the night. You can call me if you need to, or if you just want to, in case my phone dies." I know it was nothing big, but it felt big to me.

The boys and I had a nice quiet evening. They love doing puzzles, so we went to buy a few new ones. S5 separated all the pieces into colored piles while S9 and I worked on putting pieces together.

I'm going on the treadmill now to try and take H off my mind for at least awhile. Thanks for listening.
