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

Empty

I think the thing I struggle with most on deployments is how empty this house feels since it's just me. Earlier in the deployment I spent a lot of time with friends, working, etc. Now I'm just a month post-op and flat out exhausted most of the time, so working up the energy to do either is a huge task. That leads to me staying home, which leads to feeling lonely ... it's not a fun circle.
