Another weekend bites the dust... Meh. I have such a love hate relationship with these damn weekends. After not seeing J last weekend, it was so nice to have him home this past weekend. Saturday we were busy doing stuff all day! We slept in for a little bit on Saturday, then J and I went for a 7 mile run together. It felt nice to have my running buddy back- even if it was only for 1 run. When we got back, we joined my mom in our garage gym and did a little work out. Then we showered and did our usual laundromat run. After all that fun stuff, J and I made FIVE CHP PT shirts. I was so nervous making them. I didn't want to mess mine up because that'd mean J would have to buy more shirts and re-make them. Needless to say, I made some pretty good shirts 😉. After a couple of hours making shirts, we went and got PIZZA 😍🍕 for dinner then just relaxed for the rest of the night. Sunday morning we all went out and had breakfast together. I got this delicious pulled pork omelette while J had HUGE banana pancakes. We got back home, shaved J's head, and got ready for me to leave to work and J back to the Academy. Unfortunately there was ANOTHER mudslide which meant the freeway had a TON of traffic. When I got off work at 6pm, J was still driving back to the academy. I called him on my way home and could tell he was frustrated with all this traffic. This winter hasn't been kind and has caused so many hurdles travel wise. Then J said that dreaded sentence that I didn't want to hear- "I don't know if I'll be coming home next week or the week after that". I won't lie- my eyes teared up, but I understood where he was coming from. This weekend we're supposed to have ANOTHER snow storm coming in, and next weekend the cadets have to report to the academy on Sunday for pepper spray and tear gas day, so it doesn't make sense for J to have to drive back and forth in so little time. Luckily though, in early March, J will have a 3 day weekend since the seniors will be graduating.
Monday I woke up to my usual good morning text. I was off, so I just relaxed in the morning, then ran another 7 miles and worked out with my family in the evening. I heard from J a little after 8pm. He said it was a loooooong day. They had PT, then classes (Vehicle Pullovers, PMA, DUI enforcement) then their monthly stress resiliency class. J was super happy because during PT they ran the full perimeter and ended up running 4 miles total. Not the mileage he'd like- but better than the 1.5 miles they usually do 😉. J and I text for a little bit because he had so much stuff to do, but I was excited to tell him I got our cabin booked! He seemed really excited for that! We said our good nights and that was that. Even though I know I won't see J for at least 2 weekends, I'm thankful we at least get to talk every night. I don't know how he feels, but I know the days and weeks go by fast on my end, so I'm REALLY thankful for that. If my calculations are correct- there should only be 91 actual academy days left!
71 days down.. 123 to go!!
