Uncertainty

One thing that is difficult for me to deal with is uncertainty. I tend to like things like routine, to know what is coming up in the next week, month, year. It is one reason why life as a slave is so comfortable for me. I know that while there will always be uncertainty there will always be certain routines in place and that I will have Master to guide and support me during times when things are changing rapidly or unsettled.

Since Master is military, however, this does introduce some additional uncertainty that I don't think would be there if he was in a different line of work. One thing that has come up is the possibility of moving. There is both the real likelihood of a move in a year and the (very slim) possibility of a move sooner than that. Master expressed an interest in a position that is currently vacant and so there is a little voice in the back of my mind that whispers "what if they move you sooner rather than later".

I've survived military moves before. I know the general process even if I am a bit hazy on what the current details and process are. I know that I am lucky we are renting a house so that I don't need to worry about getting things ready to sell (or dealing with the sale completely). With the exception of the kidlets being in school and being disrupted, there is very little that would stand in the way of us being able to pick up and move right away.

One thing that I have to do is to remember to keep communicating with Master as often and as honestly as I can. I know that he always wants to know what is going on behind my eyes and that he wants me to be happy and under as little stress as possible. If we keep talking about how we feel about things and concerns that we may be having then things will continue to stay strong between us regardless of what turns and setbacks life sends our way.
