Camping sounds like fun. That's one thing I didn't get to with my son this summer. Next summer. My H tried to get me to go camping last year, but I wouldn't go...I was soo stubborn or maybe it was becuase he didn't ask me, he told me!
Keep busy. It's hard detaching at first, but it does get easier.
November 17 is four weeks away, that's a month, a lot can happen between now and then.
