Hello world!
What a cheesy title!
I thought I’d start this blog for fun. I’m a geologist, my SO is a pilot flying freight right now. A lot of the other pilot SO’s I’ve met online have a blog or journal of some sort, electronic or not, and they say it can be cathartic those days the pilot’s career gets to them, as well as for the good days. I decided, what the hell. I like to write, but usually I’m not motivated to. His career has lead us through such ups and downs, though, I probably will never run out of stuff to say about it and us. 
Compared to what he used to do, this job is easier on our relationship in some ways, and harder in others. It’s a big plus that he’s home every night — usually. Sometimes it’s harder having him here but falling asleep an hour or so after he gets home, especially when I’m lonely/sick and just want someone to think you’re exciting for a bit. Those days it seems like it’d almost be easier if he were gone, at least you wouldn’t have the hope of someone being excited to see you, or want to take care of the sicko, then feeling let down when it doesn’t happen. I’ve been sick this week in case you didn’t catch on, lol. /selfpity off
Ups and downs; happens a lot when you’re dragged into this flying business kicking and screaming by your heart. On the other hand, at least i don’t have to wait a month to get laid like I did with his last job. See, always an upside!
