No direct progress today on my pre-deployment preparation. I did have a busy day, though. Igeaux--who's taking over for me in my absence--needs to occupy my current office, so I cleared out my stuff and moved to my new office.It was convenient that we already had the move planned because I'll have a place to do touch-and-gos without interfering with Igeaux during the next week.
J and I have been talking lately about how this is affecting Deuce. He never talks about his feelings--ever--but I get the sense he's affected by the change (and the commensurate uncertainty) more than he lets on. I think he's equal parts nervous, proud, and perhaps a bit envious. He's got a lot coming at him right now, so I'm actually impressed he's no more surly than usual.
I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend. Hopefully the weather will hold so we can get some yard work done. Next week is the last full week I have before I start my leave, and I have a lot to do. If I want to have everything done by then, I best get crackin'!
