Well, it looks like we're at it again. Doing the long distance thing, that is. How do we always seem to end up in this place? How does life always find a way to wedge itself between us, and push us miles apart? This certainly wasn't in the plan when we moved here. We didn't see it coming. But our jobs can be unpredictable and opportunities appear out of the blue, so we do our best to roll with the punches. This latest version of punch-rolling means he's back in Las Vegas, while I continue working out here. No more afternoon beach bocce. No snuggling on the couch. Our daily interaction is now limited to a couple of phone calls and the occasional text. It's not the ideal way to spend the final months of our newlywed year, but it will have to do for now.
I wish I could say I was taking advantage of his absence and living it up with my girlfriends. But, lately, I've been doing nothing but work, work, and more work. Our days apart are no more than a blur of various hospitals and patients, with a little bit of sleep thrown in for sanity. Life has definitely become less fun and more functional.
It won't be like this forever. This situation is most certainly temporary, and is only a means to our end. I think i might even be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Summer is approaching, and is bringing with it travel and changes. I only have to hold out a little while longer...
