Hi T2~
Even though you feel BLAH, there are still lots of positives in your situation! Remember to keep your expectations low! That is one of my biggest problems--I expect too much too quickly!

by the beginning of the second week we both begin to 'distance' emotionally from not having the eye to eye contact to keep each other 'up'

This is why it is so hard to Db when separated, it seems like just when you make an emotional connection, they are gone again....at least that is the case with me Is there anything you can do to maiantain contact during that second week? Phone calls, emails, stop by at work?? Just an idea!

Hang in there--you sound good!!

Can you stop by and see me? My anniversary is next week and I need advice on how to handle it! Thanks!


Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.... (thoreau)
