...

Well, you know I'm upset today because the Powers that Be say you can't clear your barracks on a Sunday, so it'll have to wait until Monday.  It isn't that I'm mad, it's that I'm a planner.  I get my countdowns set and then I expect them to work out.

The Army doesn't work that way.

And you enlisted.

Maybe I'm just more emotional about this because I am SO VERY looking forward to this, but also because I have to remember that you're not JUST mine.  Your mom always says that you're "property of."  They tell you what to do, when to do it, and the Reserves will be no different.  You'll go on the weekends they tell you to, whether I have plans or not.

I'm better now than when you first told me, I just get emotional fast.

And I so just want you home now.
