Crickets

I am sitting here watching as Joe puts on his new uniform. Today is his first night on. He's a Corrections officer at one of our jails.

I dealt with Joe working many nights in addition to plenty of time apart due to "trips" and we did fine. No biggie. It did take me awhile to get used to though. Nights alone. Even on a military base, fenced in, patrolled hourly by guards. Alone, takes awhile to get used to. Now those nights start again and I do not have the guards. I feel less independent saying this, but nights alone are kinda scary. We are in the country and there are some interesting sounds. Tonight we are having a decent storm too. I have a pot ready to go for the morning, I have a feeling I will be needing some STRONG coffee.
