Skype is just another way of communicating. You need an Internet connection and it’s free to use. Chat is possible, but I use it for the phone feature. I just got a new laptop which has a built-in camera, and hubby took his laptop to Baghdad with him. We are pretty spoiled in that we get to talk pretty much every day and now we have regular “Skype dates” in the evenings (after his PT). Getting to see him, his facial expressions, his moods made a HUGE difference in my happiness, but I miss him more than ever!

Wow. I am visiting here from In The Life of A Child’s blog roll.

I know what it is like to have a husband gone a lot. It does get lonely. Yup, my house needs some attention too. I get so bored with doing the same thing. I guess that is one reason I blog. I want to find some joys in our daily blah blah stuff. It helps.

Hugs and hope you are full of energy soon.

If you find you need more heart, you’ll grow it, even if it has to grow around some scar tissue. I’m confident it will be good and hard (though hard in a different way than things are hard now) and that you’ll make it to the good places together.

So…. is it still not ‘Folk’ if I click on the “Contemporary Folk” page to listen to streaming music? Hmmm…

JL and Tania–thanks. It’s always so good to know I’m not alone feeling this way.

Tania–what is Skype?

In their own words, WUMB no longer is a folk station, they play a “WUMB music mix” which has a strong pop/commercial/AAA flavor.

I went through those feelings last deployment…the numbness, the uncertainty. My husband and I were only dating at the time, and I seriously considered breaking it off with him because I saw that I got along without him. I almost didn’t move to AZ (glad I did though…that Seattle winter rain is draining on feel-goodness). In the end I felt I should give it more time and see how I feel when we were “together” again. I was so scared those feelings wouldn’t come back and that the numbness would prevail even after spending time together, but they came back! I’m sure in your case it will just take a while to feel “normal” again when he comes home….reacquainting yourself with each other, getting comfortable in each other’s presence again. Is Skype possible for you two?
