"They also serve who only stand and wait." - John Milton

Cloudy

It's cloudy rather than sunny here today. I woke up with the same feeling I finally fell asleep with. It's this strange, on the edge of my seat, chest tightened, just want to hide kind of fear. Granted, I woke up every two hours after I fell asleep at 0400, so I didn't get a very productive sleep.

You know what scares me?

I've only had this feeling once before.

Then I found out why.

I have an appointment to get my hair cut later this afternoon. I considered canceling it, but I cannot let this deployment rule my life. I can't. Maybe a new 'do will make me feel a bit better.

10/5 Edit: DH just sent me a one line "I love you and miss you" type email, so he's ok. I still have the weird feeling though. I've talked to everyone in my immediate family, so I'm not sure what the deal is, unless it's pure paranoia.

I can't even imagine the thoughts that must be going through your head right now. I'll continue to send good, safe Charlie thoughts to you today, and hope that he is able to get in touch with you soon.

I wish I had something better or more helpful to say!

I hope that your haircut eases your mind a little, even if it only helps to take your mind off it for a short while....

Hugs from me as well. Have you thought of taking something to help you sleep at night like Tylenol PM. You'll wear yourself down eventually with such little sleep and that wouldn't be good. :hug

SS, I wish OTC sleep meds worked for me. Tylenol PM is just Tylenol with added Benadryl and I can take 75 mgs of Benadryl w/o being the least bit sleepy thanks to my lifetime of allergies.

Thanks for the hugs, ladies.

I hate those "feelings." I'm praying for you and your DH. I hope you find out that this time around the feeling was just a 'fluke.'
