The CO has decided that the company will get Friday off, so I'm taking the day off, too, to spend it with my husband before he Leaves For A Year.
Waiting for deployment is mild torture - everything, each moment spent apart, takes on great significance. A columnist in our local paper wrote that she would almost prefer that they get a phone call telling the soldiers to report for deployment the next day - it would be less excruciating. (Of course, they couldn't do that for a million logistical reasons.) I know just what she means.
In the meantime, though, I get a few more hours with Mr. Wonderful, and that's a good thing. But the CO is still a dork.
