Great. We just got THE CALL we've been dreading for the past year. So long to the state police and hello to being activated from USCG reserves to USCG active duty. Good thing...only 2 months. Bad thing...less paychecks and less money to be able to pay bills. Thank God I have a very helpful and generous family to get me through until we get our tax returns back this year and can re-pay them.
Out with the badge, the gun, the cruiser. He has to turn them in and report for active duty just after Thanksgiving until the end of January. We have to change our health insurance around for 2 measly months. So much for Christmas and for getting a job. I'll have the kids home during vacations with nobody to watch them for free so I could actually make some money.
One fortunate thing is that he's not in combat and gone for 6 months at a time. It could be worse. It just stinks after getting used to a non-military lifestyle for the last 4 years.
Today is not a good day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
