Tonight I can finally sit down and write my entry. It's been a pretty long and crazy week around here. Getting used to Rob's new schedule hasn't been easy for either of us or any of the dogs.
Monday he went to orientation at 8am and did a bunch of paper work and then they told him he'll be working in Del Valle from 10:45P to 7A. He didn't even want to tell me over then phone and when he did tell me the news I kept mentioning reasons why it wasn't so bad: the higher pay, the career opportunities, the benefits, time for him to go to school... I think I was just trying to reason with it out loud because it almost seemed impossible that this was a shift they'd give to 'the new guy'. Tuesday he tried to sleep as much as he could and when it became dark out I got really anxious about being alone all night. He had his uniform on and look pretty sharp. I helped pack his meal and kissed him goodbye. I was as on edge as the dogs were for the next few hours. In fact I wasn't able to sleep until 2:30A and then I woke up at 5A because I thought I had over slept and he wasn't home. Around 7:30A he came home and went to bed. I tried to get him to tell me how it went but he was pretty tired so I didn't get many details. At least he said he likes the job though. This is our schedule for 5 more weeks. Last night I fell asleep around 11P and finally slept through until 9A this morning. It really felt good.
Not much else has happened this week. I made Rob's birthday cake on Sunday and it was pretty good. In fact, it is a lot of cake for just the two of us to eat! It came out well.
Well, I better get going. Laundry isn't going to do itself!
