Off to School

Les just left for a hazmat refresher up in Port Hueneme, he'll be gone today and be back Friday night then off again Sunday and home for good on the 9th.  This coming weekend is his 50th birthday and I wanted to celebrate it with a party with all of his old friends but I'm glad the planning was not done since them sending him to this school came up literally, last week on Wednesday.  I would have been more than slightly peeved if it had ruined those plans.

Regardless, what this post is about is me missing him. We often spend week days and weekends interacting briefly after I get home from work, sometimes it totals no more than 45 minutes.  He is usually plugged into his computer by the time I get home.  I go back into my room to chill after spending quality time in the same room with him catching up on my facebook and email.  We may/may not eat together due to his hunger needs.  I know if I pushed it or nagged him we would spend more time but if it isn't where his heart is...  But I know he is a loner at heart and always has been.  Most of his pursuits have been a single player "sport".  But I know that he will miss me as well.

I'm such a big baby about stuff like this, always have been.  I'll just have to spend my time being productive about his birthday since I'll have all of this time to do it unfettered.  

It's just that well, he's my lobster.
