current: My wife went on a business trip for two weeks. At first I thought it'd be awesome to have the house to myself, but I'm starting to miss her now.
next: Aw, 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.
