And then there was ONE.....

So Derek started his job at Cirrus on Monday, which means he is now living in GF and I'm still in DL! He's staying at my bosses house and we went down on Sunday to give it a little cleaning. We had to turn it into a little bachelor pad and stock the fridge and cupboards with his own groceries. I did some cooking for him on Saturday and made him suppers. I made chicken alfredo with green beans and sloppy joes with coleslaw. We got him lots of snacks and drinks. It was so weird when we were putting the stuff away, to think he was gonna be there all by himself. :-( There isn't any cable hooked up there so he just has a tv and dvd player and a stereo. I'm pretty sure he's gonna be bored out of his mind!

Derek hates his job! I'm pretty sure the people who run the show think that there are no competent human beings fit to operate there equipment. Everything seems to have been dumbed down so that a 10 year old could run the stuff. On his first day he had orientation and went over lots of policies and manuals. At the end of the day, he was told he was gonna be a "bagger"!!! That's right....a bagger! He'd put a plastic bag over the freshly made parts and hook a vacuum up to it to vacuum seal the bag! With all his experience and the turn him into a BAGGER!! Something a retarded monkey could figure out! How stupid?!?!?! On his second day, they must have realized they fucked up and put him on the "parts making" line. There he got to actually learn how to make the parts and he said that was a little bit better but still tedious and overwhelming "hard"!!! Today he seemed more comfortable with it all. I'm sure it just takes a couple of days to get adjusted to all the new stuff: new workplace, new schedule, new friends to make, and all this while being all alone! I feel really bad that I can't be there with him. Cuz I know it sucks to go thru it alone.

Just keep at it, Dear! It'll be okay! I know it sucks but just hang in there!

I stayed in GF with him until Tuesday morning. I drove back to DL at 6:30am cuz I had to work at 8am. On Monday I went around and applied to some more jobs and made some call backs on others. I'm sure I'll hear from someone, BUT I don't think it'll be until next week. I'm really being skeptical about having work lined up by the 1st...and I'm kinda freakin' out! I did ask my bosses today about staying a week or two longer if I don't have anything lined up and they said that was fine. I can't imagine them saying "NO! You have to leave now cuz you said you would!" but I had to ask.

With that in mind, I also don't think we will be moving into our house over Labor Day weekend. 1-I don't think we should spend the money on it if we can stay elsewhere and save some money and 2-I don't think I'll be ready to get everything moved over!

I've been weirded out by this new found single life! I hate sleeping alone and eating alone and, and, and...being ALONE!!! I'm so used to being with Derek that it's very awkward. I think about him all the time and hate that he's there all by himself. I've taken a vow of TV celibacy since he has no TV. I'm working out more and staying at work longer. I don't like to be at home alone. I've lost more than my hubby...I've lost my companion, my "we do everything together" buddy, my bestest friend! I LOVE YOU DEAR! FOREVER AND EVER!!!!

I know, I act like he gone forever and I know it's only 4 days but to me it's like a month! And if you can't handle me being all mushy.....TOO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the words of Cinderella, "You Don't Know What You've Got 'Til It's Gone"----hahahahaha
