Hello Everyone,
I'm still down but it's getting better. I find it's the little things I miss. It's odd since we don't spend all our time together although our communication is regular.
Yep, little things
No kiss "good morning" from him when I stop by his house for coffee. He even gets the coffee ready just right for me. Sugar and a bit of water to cool it down. Yesterday, the door was locked so there was no coffee. Today, his ex-roommate put on a pot so I chatted with him. It's a routine we have. Jerry's roommate puts on coffee when he leaves for work. Jerry gets up. Ex-roommate shows up for coffee. I show up for coffee. I chat as they get their paperwork ready for the day.
No response back to my morning e-mail wishing him a good day. I usually send a cute e-mail (like a note in a lunch bag if he had one) but since it's going to his other e-mail account (this is temporary), it gets lost in the jumble.
No e-mail/phone call to see about meeting up at the park for lunch.
No messaging after work to see how our afternoons went. With the time zone difference, it puts us out of sync. And he needs his evenings for networking.
So, I'm a bit lost when I get home. Mike's enjoying the extra attention. I'm not focusing well. I need to get some housework and schoolwork done. Hopefully I can get myself snapped out of this tonight. I've got things going on tomorrow and Thursday which will help with the long evenings.
And I'm busy at work. Working on changes in processes. Created a new time sheet for my salaried payroll. Looking at possibilities of a new time sheet for my hourly payroll. Creating a procedure for terminations. And, I'm heading up to Nisku (where our operations office is - near Edmonton) on Monday for a meeting. It's the first time I've been invited and I will be presenting the termination procedure, discussing the new time sheets as well as general payroll explanations.
Well, I've got a busy day ahead of me. Have a great day!

Oh dear....
When L and I had been married for just over two years I went away for three months. So hard to describe how it felt to be without the other part of your soul. Whta also was hard was I was with people who had never met L, and some didn't even know I was married, which kinda made it hard to maintain that married persons un- touchable thing. So basically, now I think it was so wrong to be apart for long periods. ie- more then a couple weeks.
But what we did to stay connected..
- ton of snail mail. It was a big deal where I was
- At least one phone call every day. Good morning and eve if we could manage it. I didn't have web access at that point so it play into it.
It'll get better as you figure out the best way to communicate. When you're ready to be busy again, keep busy and it'll be over soon.
Hi Karen
I hope that you are adjusting ok to Jerry being gone. Everyone is right it does get easier to deal with once the initial shock goes away and you figure out how to keep in touch...keeping busy does help that is why I still have a job:)This is just a test to see if you are made to be together if you can survive this you can survive anything that comes at the two of you.
I also found that if you don't count the days they go bye without you noticing as much. Just think of as Friday not 2 days.
Hope the advice helps...if you need someone to talk to I'm just a phone call and a 3hr time difference away.
