I see some people mentioned exercise like yoga, etc to help pass the time, does anyone also do hobbies? I grow a lot of plants, and currently am beginning the great orchid bloom season in the diningroom. I think it also helps to have something like that, even if it's getting into TV shows.. something serial that you have to do like care for plants, watch something, exercise....

Thanks :) it's one of 13 I have. Recently, I've been going into various vegetarian things, but I also have been trying some stuff like stuffed mushrooms, etc. Mainly sweets actually! He likes that. I just bought a ton of cookie cutters to add to my collection of 13 billion, and I am going to try to get the whole frosting thing down.

We talk everyday before he goes to sleep. We talk about our plans in the future such as, we are going to have OUR Valentines day when I get there and going camping in the mountains in Summer.

I have moved in with my parents until I leave so I can spend time with them. I hang out alot with my friends. I wasn't sleeping before the interview so started to buy fiction books to read before sleep. That has helped me relax at night because I read for my job.

I eat chocolate which always helps. :blush: Walk a lot and packing is now taking up a lot of my time. You don't realise how much stuff you have until you have to pack it up! :blink:

Some days are good and some days I miss him so so much that i get tears but, it is important to remember that if you can get through this process you can get through anything and we tell each other that everytime it gets hard.

In August I purchased my first orchid. It's STILL blooming. I haven't managed to kill it!

WOW! I'm jealous. I've never been able to keep orchids around for long. Or any plant that needs to be watered more than once a week. haha

Yea, every once in a while you gotta go see your grumpy guy and give 'em a tune up. Keep him happy. Mine is the same way.
