Gone Daddy Gone...

Yep... it's official. I am single again.

Mason left early Thursday morning. A WHOLE DAY before he was scheduled to leave. Wednesday was spent running around trying to jam two days worth of work and fun into one.

I talked with him for the last time late last night. He is was in an airport waiting for the military transport. I knew that this would be the last time I could talk with him for a while. It takes almost a full 24 hours to get to the desert. Then they have to check in, set up, get briefed on what has been going on, and what needs to be get done. Even though he was gone this past winter and spring. He was in the states and if I needed to talk to him I could just pick up the phone. Now, there is not even a number to call.

But, its okay. Routine. After that initial pang in the stomach, I realized that a day or so is no big deal. He'll email me when he can. And frankly, I want him to get his rest and do his job well. Not be worried about me sitting at home worrying about him.

Right now he isn't even sure what his exact assignment will be. Now that he is a Weapons Officer he is needed in a lot of different capacities. If I am told, and am allowed to tell I will keep you all updated. But until then we will just be floating here on the dark side of the moon ....
