I am now officially a 'rig widow'
The boy has gone out to work on a work over rig – out in the Surat Basin, to see if we can't get our share of the resources boom money.
I am not in favour of it. Once upon a time, many moons ago, and a whole life past, I had a boyfriend who was away a lot. And I am not talking leave on Monday back on Thursday a lot – I am talking leave in January, see you in March a lot.
And I hated it.
So I am not really happy with the idea of it happening again. To exacerbate the situation – I am or rather we were invited to a wedding this weekend. I am so sure it is going to be such a great wedding – and heaps of fun – but now I have to go by myself. It's not just going to the wedding, it's the 10 hour drive by myself, the three nights staying in an ultra romantic bed and breakfast by myself. The filling in time before the wedding, the not having anyone to sit with – or to gossip about the other guests – or to hold my lipstick or….
Well the list goes on. Now, I know that he will be back – and that it is only for two weeks, but it doesn't help me right now. He has no phone and no internet. This doesn't help someone who has spoken to him at least twice a day for the past 4 years – and 3 times a week for the 2 years before that.
There are so many things that I now have to do myself – which just goes to prove what a great partner he is.
He has never ONCE locked the dog in the house all day. I wish I'd thanked him for that.
