history: My wife is on a business trip for two weeks. I'm starting to miss her a lot. My wife went on a business trip for two weeks. At first I thought it'd be awesome to have the house to myself_comma_ but I'm starting to miss her now. Aw_comma_ that's never fun.  My husband used to travel all the time for work and it was so lonely.  I'm glad she won't be gone too long.  I took advantage of the times he was gone to clean and organize and fix things to surprise him when he returned.
current: Yeah, this first week was pretty productive, actually. I fixed a few things around the house and then just relaxed. But now the fun is over and my emotions are getting to me. But hey, not long left to wait!
next: Wow, you're on top of things! Being apart does make the heart grow fonder. :) Make (or carry out) her a romantic dinner when she gets back. Go out with a friend while she's gone!
