Today is the day

that Milo's academy started.
Drill Tower 40 in San Pedro.
He left yesterday morning- very early, in the pouring rain. He had to meet his class at 9 AM.

Last night, was the first night I spent ALONE in the new house.
Weird experience. I was up every hour. The boys barked at everything.
I had the lights on for a bit. Turned it off. Turned the TV on for some company, then turned it off. Damn. This is going to take some getting used to for real.
I can only hope it gets easier as time goes by.

Milo comes home tonight. He's off tomorrow.
It'll be nice having someone to share the bed with. Too bad, it's only for tonight- that is, until Friday night.
He's off tomorrow, but going back mid day.
He'll be home Friday, Saturday night.
Then the cycle starts again.
18 weeks of this.
WOW. All good though. We'll get through it. Just like we've gotten through everything else. This is his dream come true. We give a little bit, in order to walk away with a lot.

Life is GRAND!
