I am kind of seeing a pilot (it's long distance and complicated) but he left for training yesterday and won't be back home (his home since we live in different states) until Sunday. We don't communicate often, but I wasn't sure if I should text him on like Friday for some encouraging words or just let it be. I am so fearful of interrupting his studying since we are just starting to get to know each other, I don't know what he would do. I let him know I would be thinking of him and good luck yesterday before he left so I think I will leave it at that and contact him on Sunday when he is suppose to go home. Thanks again for sharing, this is all new to me and I am just trying to learn about what I am getting myself into. :) It's been a struggle, but I am learning.

Who is having a sedated procedure this week. This is the first time I've been through this kind of training since meeting him (other than annual proficiency stuff).

And being a pilot wife, and alone at home, in a strange new<br />city and state where all your old friends and family are back there ... is alienating. Pity party time.... I have been dealing with excruciating pain in my chest and ribs since Nov. 2013 and nothing is getting fixed, or cured, they just slap pain meds on like a bandaid, to make this lonely living hell slightly more tolerable... so I know what you mean.. I have even stronger narcotics and having to go get them myself when I run out is seemingly next to impossible, especially if I'm having a chest pain attack...<br /> It's insane. It's nuts. No fun for anyone...<br />*sigh* <br />What can we do? :( dh is gone on day 2 of a 4-day trip, I hate it, I'm miserable. I just want my husband more than just partially part-time. His schedule is horrible. <br />Ugh, back to another depressing day of lying in pain in bed.<br />I hate his horrible schedule at the regionals, we REALLY need him at the majors...

It's really lonely being uprooted out of state from everything and everyone you know and love... how do you do it? It's so hard :'( watching him leave on a 4 day, after only having 2 short days together is excruciating. I'm really not coping well.. pliot wife life of a pilot at a regional is incredibly challenging, heartbreaking & depressingly lonely... how do all of you other wifies do it? Where are all these other wifies? We should band together, it'd be nice to know someone else in this boat :-/ .<br />Halp.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962728697142348927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5147610194421430071.post-4574033116378716392014-10-17T18:25:52.861-07:002014-10-17T18:25:52.861-07:00Too bad you can't come to JC its lots of fun! ...Too bad you can't come to JC its lots of fun!
