WOC Widower

[Graehstone]

As of this writing there are only 35 more days to go till it officially starts, but I am afraid that I shall be an Orchid widower sooner than that and will continue to be one till after a day or so after it ends as well.



You see, my (most wonderful of all wives in the world) sweety works for one of the vendors that will be having a huge booth and putting up a display too, and so they need to get there earlier to set all that up.
I hate this time of year, the Show season, when business (Orchids) takes my wife away from me for long periods of time.
Three days here, a week there, another three days over there with a day off before zipping off to the next that lasts another four or so days.
I have a picture of her that I carry around with me so I don't forget what she looks like during that time ... and I lose a lot of weight too, not because I can't cook for myself but rather because everything is bland without her close and so I hardly bother, just the bare "keep husband alive" kind of thing you know.
And now this one, the longest yet (next to New York a few years ago) is going to be a killer as far as her being gone for long.
She can hardly wait because she will meet old friends again (she adopted grandparents, lol) and just the general excitement because it's, well it's a big shindig thingy is what it is and it's important to her and I am more than thrilled for her that she has the chance to go to this even if it's work.
There are going to be all kinds of neat things there to see and check out, and if I'm lucky, she might even bring me something, you know like maybe one of those "... all I got was this lousy ..." t-shirt, or perhaps a snow globe.
Well, that's my whine for the day off to throttle some thrips.
Hope everyone is having a good one.
