3, I think it is great that you won't see your H for a whole week. I feel like you and I are in similar situations, with seeing our H multiple times a week . . . and it makes it really hard to constantly be in the middle of our sitches. My time away a few weeks ago was so refreshing, I hope that it will do wonders for you, too.
