Just one more night to go after this!!

    As this auto-posts on the HQ, the second of three nights is done, and I'm really, really starting the countdown to going home to my Effie!!! Lord, I can't wait!! Effie, honey, I love you!!! I'll be home for coffee tomorrow!! We got to chat for a bit yesterday on Skype, and that helped quite a bit, but my gal is going to be at work all day today, so it will be a long, lonely day. Still, just one more night, and I'm home!! Awesome!!
