Long Days & Lonely Nights

Dear John,

 

I had a good day, but a very long and busy one. I worked the drive-up from 7:30 to 6:00. It's non-stop on Fridays, and the hard thing about the drive-up is that you can't sit down. So I wore my most comfortable shoes, which are still those old black Rockports that I've had for years. I'll be heading off to bed by 8:00 tonight. Tomorrow I'll work until noon. I need to mow tomorrow afternoon, but now we have a fifty per cent chance of rain. The grass is really long, so I hope it's dry enough.

 

I really miss you at night now. I always have, but now, with a new job, there's so much I want to tell you every night. The good thing is that I'm tired enough at night that I don't lie awake. I still dread going to bed, though. One of the good things about this job is that I have to get up at 5:30 so I have to go to bed early. I can't put it off like I used to. I still hate going to bed without you, but I also hate getting up at 5:30 when I haven't gotten much sleep. So I'm going to bed early every night now, and it's good for me.

 

And now I'm off down the hall. We'll all miss you tonight. Please pray for your little family! And stop by and visit sometime.

 

Love you, adore you, worship the ground you walk on,

Joan.
