You don't realize how much you miss someone until they are gone...

I know it has only been since this morning but I miss Hubby!
There I’ve said it.
Silly I do know, but since he’s been retired these last three years we have not been apart except when I was in the hospital for three nights, but he was there daily for hours at a time.
You all are either not surprised or laughing uncontrollably since you may have never had a relationship that was this way I suspect; the laughers that is.
It’s not like he has been incommunicado or anything; he has called me on his cell phone at least five times already today!

Maybe it’s the fact that poor little Skipper has been lying on the back of the couch most of the day staring out the window waiting for him to come home…It’s hard to explain to a dog that Daddy won’t be back for a week.

Skipper did his usual voraciously eating display of his food at the moment that Hubby went to say goodbye, but he (Skipper) suffers terribly from separation anxiety, always has; he hates us to say goodbye, even to go to the store.

I blame his hurricane experience that he went through as a young pup, screwing his emotions up. He’s still not thrilled with thunder storms either, but he was just five and half months old when Hurricane Charley hit us here with all its devastation.
After all I still have issues too!

Hopefully, Skipper will come down from his perch long enough to go out and do his euphemistic ‘business’, you know what I mean, oh darn, poop and wee!
Now that was very grown up of me, but you get the point.

Anybody have any ideas how to handle this strange situation with Skipper?
Hubby said that he was just as bad when I had been hospitalized last April, and said that he had kept looking for me in our bed and elsewhere throughout the house and outside too! But that was only three days that Hubby had to deal with it; I have a week… He just came to me to huddle behind me on this computer chair; he does that on the dining chair too. I guess he is taking a break from his watch out the window.

Today I also adjusted my eating to those boxed meals I mentioned, so far I had a Weight watcher’s Enchilada for lunch, and a Lean Cuisine steak tips Dijon for dinner, not bad, I know.
I suppose while grocery shopping I decided that I might as well try all the professionals in the field of dietary restrictive menus. I have eight more left from a few others.

Skipper has returned to his window watch…

On that worrisome note I will bid you all a good night and to all count those blessings and I will too!
