This weekend I am off to a team building weekend with England Deaf Rugby. I couldn't be more excited to go run around in the mud doing some crazy assault course then pull on the England top sunday for my very first time. And while I am running about trying to find every last bit of kit I may need, my other half is struggling.
We see each other every weekend without fail, so it's only two days away, but it's a big deal. This weekend I will be breaking the friday night routine to bog off to somewhere where I won't have constant contact and won't be spending time with her.
Preparation.
It may sound silly, but after the last time I went away for two nights I have had to come up with some sort of preparation. I was told by her own mother never to go away without her again because she became unbearable for the weekend, so I'm off again but this time I hope it's a little less stressful on us all.
Instead of disappearing off without thinking about it I wrote a card and posted it, so that it will arrive today or tomorrow. In it I have given her some things to do for the weekend, from remembering to visit her nan to doing two things that make her happy. It sounds silly but I am hoping that 1. it will arrive on time, if it turns up monday that's too late and 2. that it will help make this weekend a little easier.
We love each other and even though I know she doesn't mind me going on rugby trips, I know she's proud of me for getting involved with England Deaf team, I know full well that a disruption to her routine is a challenge. So fingers crossed the card will work. I guess we will watch this space!
