Hey There Lonely Girl

I'm lonely.  I really miss my husband.  I was lonely before I left my job, and in some ways stayed there as long as I did so I wouldn't be AS lonely.  But I don't have anyone to spend my evenings with, and its very quiet here at night, except for the TV, and the dog barking her head off.  Still, I get to chat/talk with him each morning and spend a good portion of each morning online with him.  Modern technology is a wonderful thing.  I know that my mother in law and father in law were often very out of touch when he would be sent overseas to work on projects in places like Libya.  He was there in 1986 working on an irrigation project when he had to be whisked out of there in a hurry right before we bombed Kadaffi's palace.  She didn't know where he was for three days and was absolutely terrified.  Turns out he had gone to his brother's in Beirut, which was no better place to be since Lebanon was in the middle of their civil war.  But he was finally able to get through to her on the phone, which was no easy feat since there were no cell phones then, or at least none for the general public consumption, and the land lines were way less than reliable.
