One more week....... I think

So it has been 40 days, 7 hours and 38 minutes since Skinny was a free man.....and was at home. Now that he is back to work that is going to change....he starts qualifying for furloughs. To qualify for a furlough you have to work at least 30 hours a week. So since this was his first week back he has or will have worked 32 hours this week. So we thought he would get his first visit home this weekend......it would only be for 12 hours but it was better than nothing, not to mention better than sitting in the Fort's community room with other people. But we were wrong.... you see with all the rules they have about furloughs, there is one more. The week goes from Thursday to Wednesday... which to me and the rest of the real world, is screwy. Then again we ( Skinny and I) have to go by the rules he is given. So following that rule, Skinny had only worked 17 hours by Wednesday night. So that means no furlough this weekend and in turn I'm stuck home alone all weekend, trying to find things to keep me busy and not thinking about him. I have counted the days, cleaned our place from top to bottom, reorganized every thing from the pictures, to towels to dishes...... now I have to come up with stuff to due for the next 48 hours. Every Friday for the last month or so, I have written a list of stuff I need to do over the weekend, so I can keep myself busy.... but it is getting harder and harder. My life is not that complex and not the interesting. The mother tells me to get involved in activities.... now that I have a lot of free time, I'm thinking I should have..... but then again next week Skinny will be coming home and my life will start getting back to normal... well kind of. So it is one more week of waiting..... then he will be home.... unless they find some other rule he has not followed. I guess we will see...... cause this waiting patiently is for the birds.
