So close yet so extremely far away...

Sonny and I have been apart 10 days, 4 hours, and several minutes. It has been challenging and feels like much longer than the actual week and a half. Sonny had multiple exams, a mountain of homework and tons of papers to grade and feels the stress of it daily. I seem to be on the opposite spectrum--trying to find ways to fill my time with distraction so I dont ache for him. Juno keeps me company as best she can but seems to be severely attracted to Sidney (I think he reminds her of Sonny and she misses her daddy too) so we have to share her. Also since Juno broke her leg is unable to get outside for her usual exercise so she is misbehaving which makes our time together a little stressful for me. Work is interesting and keeps me running, which I appreciate. I find myself looking forward to Mondays with a strange joy. My in-laws are wonderful, as usual, and I try to speak with my family often. Sonny had his first two med school interviews at the beginning of this month (Morehouse and Mercer) and we are waiting for an acceptance. Hopefully he gets a call from MCG to broaden his options. I am looking forward to October 28th when I can be reunited with Sonny for a few days. Stay tuned...
