Will see new C tomorrow, and leave for States on Monday, with EE in May. Will probably have lots to work on there. Then need to go to Germany for business the next week.
Have told W we could have house facade renovated over a two year period. Doing so means she needs to stay owner in order to get the tax deduction, though remaining an owner does not preclude her moving out.
Maybe her possibly moving out is for the good - it was difficult to be together for the Easter Break week - I had to mostly work during the day and evening, which is not exactly the most exciting thing for those around me. Took son skiing though. I sit at my desk all day, programming, working on documents, with the occasional phone call. I feel factual, empty, shallow, un-fun.
Being together for the summer is going to be a challenge. She will be on vacation (she is a teacher) while I work. One EE goal would be to learn how to have fun. We will have been together in the States for MIL 75th party, so that is good, and D wants to go railbiking (a la wily Coyote) together. My BIL visits with my nephew in mid-July. Summer seems especially critical as it is the period prior to a possible moving out.
It is easier to do fun things when in the US, as there is just more going on. Will do Adinva's suggestion for hikes though - we live near a well-known trail network here.
Is 9+ years of no ML and very little physical affection just too much? W doesn't contact me much at all during the day either, so it is pretty quiet here.
I am in shape for the upcoming half-marathon at least and making lasagna for dinner.
