Separation

As I mentioned before, I'm about to head out of town to the remote sight of Red Dog Mine which is north of the Arctic Circle and completely separated from 'normal' life. I will have no cell service and will not have regular email/internet access. While part of me is looking forward to this disconnection, another part is kind of sad. Steve and I have been together for 5 years now and this will be the longest we have ever been apart from each other. We're adults and I'm sure we'll be fine, but a part of me is not looking forward to being away from him. He is who I talk to, laugh with, vent to, and everything else on a daily basis. The bad part is that for the first week that I'm gone, he's also going to be disconnected as he is going on a hunting trip with our friend Andrew. Thus, I won't be able to speak to him at all for over a week. I'm not sure how I'll do. The thought saddens me more than I can put into words. Let's hope that I'm too busy and tired up there to really pay attention to my lack of daily Steve....
