It just keeps getting better

[missmiah]

DH came home at lunch time and hung out for about ten minutes. Stopped by the computer (where I was) and said he had to go back in a few and "Oh, by the way, I'm being deployed in January."

Umm... what?

Yeah. Yeah. Deployed. For a year. In January.

We knew it was coming, or at least, I did. I just wasn't expecting it to be five days after I moved into the new duty station. I still have a garage full of packed up boxes, people. At the rate I'm going, I'll be finished right around the same time they send him away.

And since we've been discussing having a family... if that happens it's going to be while he's gone. Which would mean the entire pregnancy and childbirth... alone, no friends or family in this craptastic shithole lovely state.

Damn it.

I want a dog.

And finally, the Work-In-Progress Meme stolen from scatteredlogic


If you happen to be working on some creative writing project, fanfiction or NaNoWriMo or what have you, post exactly one sentence from each of your current work(s) in progress in your journal. It should probably be your favourite or most intriguing sentence so far, but what you choose is entirely your discretion. Mention the title (and genre) if you like, but don't mention anything else -- this is merely to whet the general appetite for your forthcoming work(s).

One Final Detention - SS/HG Detention Challenge
