No new challenges this week. As I mentioned I'm alone a lot less than I had anticipated as my son is home in the evenings now, at least for the time being. My husband had a bit more down time this week so I was able to spend 3 hours on the phone with him one night - just sharing space, watching tv and playing poker. He also walked me through cooking dinner another night - which I must say came out pretty good. He is back on track now with a new trainer so hopefully they can complete the requirements so he can be home for Christmas.
We spent some time today on the phone working on paying bills. That was another chore that Hubby had managed that I'll be doing much of now. I'm all about paperwork and organization so that's pretty natural for me.
This weekend was busy - I took my great niece to a screening of Puss in Boots (cute movie); returned her home and stayed all afternoon for her sister's birthday party - my first family gathering by myself. Then had to come home and change to go to a business dinner. Sunday (today) I forgot about the time change. My brother and sister-in-law came into town and spent the day with me. They are a team operation and it was through their experience that showed this occupation to be a viable option for us.
At this point I'm going to start working towards getting my own CDL so we can possibly do this together someday. I sure do miss my husband!!
3 weeks is the longest we've been apart in 20+ years and I can't say I like it much - but we'll make it work :)
Till next time....
