Work soothes the soul

I'm in the middle of a brilliantly satisfying and beyond exhaustive (90+ hours/week) summer job working to help train new teachers. It's fantastic. Nothing like hard, meaningful work to keep the focus clear. Not to mention that in California, it seems that the sun always shines and the temperature is perfect. LOVE IT.

The one thing I could use less of is what seems to be a constant stream of "surprise homecoming videos" and jubilant, rambling daily posts on Facebook about each way you enjoy having your deployed spouse back. Listen friends, some of us are still waiting. I am really very very happy for you. And I will be happy for me when I'm there, but please consider your audience... like the folks who supported you when your person was far away.

Now back to the work- see what I mean? It's great to not be able to dwell.=) Hugs and happy from California!
