Deployment Loneliness

So I decided I'm not done blogging for the night. And the reason is loneliness. I'm lonely. And when I'm lonely, I want to eat. So trying to avoid that since I'm not really hungry and it's just something to do with my hands. And mouth. I feel myself getting more and more lonely the longer John is gone. And probably right before he gets back, I'll get into my Super Deployment Mode where I can withstand entire months, even years alone with a single bound. That happened last time and it took a lot of effort to shake myself out of it and convince myself he really WAS coming home, and quickly. Once I saw him, everything was fine. But I am more familiar with my deployment cycle (sounds like a period...I assure your it's not at all like a period...well...besides the pain, moodiness, and fits of rage, it's nothing at all like a period...okay it's like a period) and I must go through a lonely desert before I reach the Super Deployment Mode where another 6 months couldn't phase me because I'm SUPERwife. Ehem. Course if another 6 months were really thrown at me I'd probably rip someone's arm off and beat the military with it. But anyway...back to the point. I've been lonely.
It probably doesn't help that I've been watching romantic movies. Jane Austen is the worst/best. She's entirely a genius, yet she makes me feel so terrible since I can't be around the person I love the most. I finished my first Austen book this year ("Pride and Prejudice") and just finished watching a newer adaption of "Emma." I think I need to put Jane Austen on my Netflix ban-list until John is home. Netflix has again become my best friend this deployment. I am in a constant state of Netflix-movie-watching. And it's marvelous. Unless I have too much homework to watch or it's too late. Then it makes me sad.
I am getting back into coffee. The thought that I was out of coffee is so strange to me, being the person I am who has always adored coffee ever since I was very, very young. I figured out the reason I was not enjoying coffee the past 6 or so months aside from the fact that North Carolina over-syrups their coffee is I was buying coffee that was too mild a blend. I got some darker stuff and quite enjoyed it this morning. And so it continues.
I feel like I need to say something substantial that means something...but I don't have much to say...other than...see The King's Speech. It's freaking amazing.
