All depends what you have to occupy your down time. Work for me is busy, and I have a good friend and colleague in my office who helps me bitch and moan all through the day, so the days pass quite well.
At home I have my fish to look after each night and the xbox and here. But my mahal is never far from my thoughts. Her photo is my wallpaper on my phones, she is my laptop wallpaper, I have her photos next to my bed. I never stop thinking about her, waiting for her to wake up in the morning so we can chat before I go to sleep, we sms all through the day and chat on messenger when I am at work (I am lucky to do that, but I have to go careful lol)
It's not easy Alan, I know she feels the same too, we just plan and wish the days away until we are together again, we know why we are apart right now, even though we always wish wish wish we can be together.
Charie said to me earlier, 'come over, do it now!!' Oh, how I wish I could afford it.
