Joe is coming home today! He has been in Albany, Ga. since Wednesday for a museum conference. This was the first time we’ve spent a night apart since we got married, and I was not a big fan of it. It was hard coming home to no one but the cats, and it was lonely making dinner for myself and watching tv alone in the evenings. But, the real reason I missed him was because I had to clean out the litter box! This has been the first time I’ve had to do that since we moved in together three years ago. Am I spoiled or what?

I know he’s going to have more business trips. He was supposed to go on a week-long trip to Jekyl Island in January but is no longer going because the museum is opening the week before, and in April he’ll be gone for a week for a conference in Florida. I’m thinking about meeting him there for the weekend if he’ll be near either Miami or Tampa Bay so we can hit another baseball stadium.

I’m sure I’ll get more used to his being gone, but for now I’m super excited to see him in just a few hours.
