Reapply
I was just telling some friends this weekend that the longer my husband has been deployed, the more easily annoyed I have become.
But these last few days have proven to me that I'm starting to lose my other faculties too. The longer he has been away, the more scatterbrained I have become.
For example, I go into the bathroom and put on deodorant. I come out, walk around aimlessly for a moment, and then think, oh, I need to put on deodorant. And back to the bathroom I go.
I still have a little over three months before he comes home. If I don't pull it together soon I might be showing up for meetings in my bathrobe and curlers.
But at least I'll smell good.
