Ms. O leaves for the other side of the country to spend one month with her father. I'm trying to look at the bright side. July will be a very busy month for me at work as well as at home, so better not to feel guilty about not spending time with her. Mr. M and I are thinking of all the ways we can keep busy while she's gone. We're thinking golfing, dinners out, drinks after work. I know we'll have fun but I'd trade it all just to not have to give her up for the month.
