Update

Thursday night, the night before I had to be back in Dodge, Andy called. He asked if I was busy, saying that he was down at the Co-op fueling, and thought maybe I wanted to stop by to say "hi". I did. He stood at the passenger window of my pick-up and talked to me. When I got ready to leave, I held my hand out to him. Instead of taking my hand, he walked around to my side, leaned in, and gave me a few soft kisses.
"Isn't that better than a hand shake?" He asked.

Friday when he called me the first time, he said that his wife had kept him up until 4:30 am picking fights and arguing. He had to get up at 6 am to get back on the road. She's famous for that.
Every time he calls me here, I love it, but when I hang up the phone and everytime I think about him after that, It feels like I have a big hole in my chest and I get very homesick.
This week the company put me up in a suite. Whirlpool tub big enough for 4 people, spiral staircase up from the living area to the bedroom with a king sized bed. It's been wonderful.
I'm glad this is my last week here. They run things so differently from the way we do in our store. This has been sort of a "working vacation", but I can't wait to "get the hell out of Dodge"!!
