Routines

Well, I think we're starting to settle into routines, finally! So, here's a little taste of our lives.



Boy's Routine:

Monday -- wake up at 5:00, exercise, work all day, have a gazillion meetings, talk with Jeri, go to bed 9:00. By the afternoon, the week's routine has set in and depressed feelings are lessened.

Tuesday -- wake up at 5:00, exercise, work all day, have a gazillion meetings, talk with Jeri, go to bed 9:00

Wednesday -- wake up at 5:00, exercise, work all day, have a gazillion meetings, talk with Jeri, go to bed 9:00

Thursday -- wake up at 5:00, exercise, work all day, have a gazillion meetings, talk with Jeri, go to bed 9:00

Friday -- wake up at 5:00, exercise, work all day, have a gazillion meetings, pray that he'll be able to come home at 6:00 (as promised)

Saturday -- home with Jeri

Sunday -- church, home with Jeri, tearful return to the Air Force before 6:00



Jeri's Routine:

Monday -- wake up to Boy's phone call at 7:15, go to work and try desperately to fill the hours (it's summer and there is absolutely NOTHING to do!), go home, make dinner, eat dinner while watching TV on DVD (just about to finish with Friends again), do some housework, talk with Boy, go to bed. Monday is a good day emotionally because there is hope that Friday will come soon.

Tuesday -- same as Monday. Also a good-emotion day

Wednesday -- same as Monday and Tuesday. Positive emotions starting to wane. The week without Boy is getting really long.

Thursday -- same as Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The week is feeling really, really long but the knowledge that the sun will come up tomorrow brings hope and a quick night's sleep.

Friday -- same as Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday except with a special knock on the front door from Boy

Saturday -- with Boy

Sunday -- church, spend time with Boy, tearful send-off as Boy returns to the Air Force before 6:00, state of depression for the rest of the evening, talk with Boy, go to bed
