the start of the first week

so kory has been gone for four days now.  i've done about all i can in our room to make things comfortable and comforting to me.  i printed pictures, bought frames and hung some up, placed others around the room.  bought a corkboard and a calendar and have started counting down the days, marking off my trip to see him in march with major fanfare - colors and stickers.  i've been keeping myself busy, too.  a little studying, a little tv, whatever.  i cleaned today, and cleaned everything.  searched for curtains and rods that fit the general scheme of the room.  went shopping the other night, and bought some fab organizers for the bathroom and desk to make life simpler.  and now, i'm about out of things to do.  kinda sucks now, the obvious quiet.  it's hard not hearing from him much at all, very few texts, no call yet.  even the dog misses him.  spends her time in her bed or under his desk, looking toward the door, waiting for him to walk in at any moment.  393 days to go until his deployment is over.  just gotta keep telling myself that i can do this! <3
