Going, Going... He's Gone

Woke up at 6:15 this morning to take Aaron and another guy from the squadron to the airport. Aaron says he'll be back "hopefully" (emphasis on that word) by April the 18th. Wow. That does seem like a long time... Not sure how exactly to keep myself occupied enough to not get too sad while he's gone... I almost feel like I need to ration out some chores and activities over the next several weeks to even it all out. And the weather here is really not cooperating- it's rainy today and is supposed to stay this way all week. That's just not helpful when you're already trying hard not to be so sad. Thoughts/ideas on how to occupy myself? Feel free to contribute... Or you know, to come visit me... whichever... :)
