Leaving on a jet plane

Well, he's off. My hubby finally got his act together and we got him on a shuttle bus to the airport, and he's probably sitting on the plane right now, waiting for it to take off. I've been feeling kind of mopey since he left (only 5 hours ago!!), but he called a bit ago from the boarding lounge and that cheered me up. I hope I shall not have too wretched of a time without him -- I have lots of projects planned to keep myself occupied and mope-free -- but we shall see. Last time he was on the other side of the world for a month or more, it was definitely not fun for me, waiting for him here.

I don't know when I'll hear from him next; he might not be able to contact me when he arrives in Pakistan, depending on the state of affairs on that day. Demonstrations and strikes are planned in Islamabad on the day he arrives -- fun! I'm actually less concerned about that (it's a normal state of affairs when it comes right down to it) than I am about keeping myself from fussing while I wait for an email. ;-)

You all will come running to my rescue if I need cheering up, won't you?

Thought so. ;-)
