So these days were not so bad because I was on a business trip for 3 days and my normal routine of work, home, sleep, work, home, sleep was changed to work, hotel, sleep, work, hotel, sleep but I wasn't at home to see the constant reminders of my sailor.
He has sailed 3 time zones ahead of me over these 3 days so our emails are a little harder to coordinate since when he is going to bed I am getting online and ready to talk and when he is online and ready to talk I am sleeping.
Next weekend the ship will be pulling into its first port so we are both excited that he is getting to go to a country he has never been to and gets to speak a language he has known since high school but has not used.
We have emailed each other every day and enjoy chatting via email.
I went to the exchange to get his new uniforms for the second time and they are out of his size top and I don't know if the pants will fit correctly. They have inspections on their uniforms and if they fit correctly.
I emailed the Ombudsman about trying to find a program that would help spouses and families get travel money to go visit with their sailors as they pull into ports. They didn't offer any help but space A flights which are not any cheaper but are not guaranteed so basically no help what so ever.
I don't really have any plans this weekend but to try and get my sailors uniforms and get the patches embroidered on them. I am also going to fill him a care package and send it out Monday morning hopefully.
