Temporary Duty to Micronesia

Some of you might remember how affected and sad I was when Howell went to the US last December for three weeks for his training. I’m really not used to hubby being away from us that long. I was even about to cry on the first night that he was not here with us. Thanks to Peachy, she stayed awake until 2AM and she chatted with me so I will be preoccupied and won’t have a chance to emote and cry on the first night that Howell left.

And just this week, it was confirmed by Howell’s boss that he might be send to temporary duty for three weeks to one of the US territory in the Micronesia this coming June.

I feel sad and scared again. Just thinking of the idea that he will be far away from us for three weeks makes me feel sad all over again. But according to him, it’s a blessing so I should be happy about it. First, he will be able to travel again for free and be able to visit the Micronesia. Second, since there are no malls there (yup no malls, only beach resorts) he will be able to save big from his per diem since he will not be doing some shopping, so we will have extra money for our Singapore trip.

Honestly, right now, I really don’t know what to feel. I’ll just deal with it when that time comes. Anyways, I have a whole list of things to blog about so that should keep me busy while he is gone (I hope so).
