Good to hear from you - at the 60 good/40 bad level just now, to answer your question. How are you?
She is gone to Swedish lessons, and was friendly enough before leaving, suggesting videos she would like to see (we maybe once a month watch a film at home together). Tonight we are having friends over for dinner, so at least we do things together, though not just the two of us (yet...) Wonder why she/we can take the time to see friends tonight - involving cooking ahead of time - and not spend maybe the same length of time with each other instead?
She leaves for Japan on the 30th, and the kids and I leave for fall break in Turkey on the 28th. She's back 5 days after us, at which point I probably need to immediately scoot to the US for work. Just now it does seem like we won't see each other much until at least mid-November...
Can a small good thing be the simple fact that she and I are talking? There is a saying in German that you have time for what you love - maybe her simply recounting everyday stuff to me is good in itself? Maybe time spent together (doing things, not just working in adjoining rooms) is a good measure for relationship health?
