Almost Home...
It's been a long week, one more night, one more day to get through. Things have been so busy that I haven't even had a chance to miss Richard until tonight, and I feel a little down. Filling in for him, doing my regular work, taking care of the animals, cooking, cleaning (hah), is difficult to keep going, and I always feel like I've not done enough while he was gone. Before we were married, I'd irrationally wonder if he'd even come back to all of this. Now that we've been married for almost 2 years, it fills me with love that the things left undone don't make him love me any less, but at the same time I also feel a profound sadness at failing to give him all that's undone. It's a brief, passing feeling, but a feeling nonetheless.
Work is good for the most part; watching folks step up and pull together has been gratifying in ways that I haven't had the privilege to experience in quite a while. Spring is coming slowly -- trees are blooming, but it's been nippy cold all week. I'm looking forward to warmer weather.
