Bon Voyage...

We're at the time of year now where my fiance starts to travel more for work. We are very fortunate that he doesn't do this all year round and the longest stint he will be gone for is 5 days. For the rest of the winter season it will be a few days here and there with most just one or two night trips.

We were discussing this morning how lucky we are becasue there are a lot of people we know who travel for business and don't see their significant others for more lengthy periods of time. I will admit that I don't do well with "good-byes" and I always get a little down (like today) knowing he's going to be gone for almost a week.

So, I decided to find things to keep me busy. We've been pretty gung-ho with some project ideas around the house and I really pushed the issue about picking out a color to paint the spare bedroom. The painting project was supposed to keep me busy while he was gone, but now I feel like I'm TOO busy! I've been a little under the weather, and extra tired for some reason, and all I REALLY want to do is sit home laying around doing absolutely nothing.

But, I want to get the room done and it will look especially nice once we go and pick out the black bedroom furniture we have in mind. We've even bought nice shelving for some of the sports memorabilia, so we're trying to get it done before we have company over in a few weeks. Probably not the furniture, but everything else at least....
