Thoughts on being in Switzerland

I enjoy it here, but it is not the same as when we were living here long term. Being here by myself isn't nearly as much fun as when I had other wives to do things with. We went hiking together, shopping, and took the train to fun places like Montreux, Bellagio, and Milan. It isn't as much fun doing things like that by yourself -- plus train travel is much more expensive now. Seeing as we spent a small fortune in Amsterdam, I am trying to be content just sitting inside and watching the snow fall. It is very peaceful, and with my chaotic life at home, the quiet and rest is much appreciated. I have been reading, blogging (obviously), organizing our digital photos, and basically, waiting for Mike to get home from work. He has been working late the last few nights, not by his choice, but I have to be patient anyway. He is here to work, after all. When he gets home we try and take a long walk together, and then usually watch a movie or just yak at each other. I only have a couple more days here, and then he will be by himself until the end of May. I can hardly stand going home without him, but thankfully, Lisa, Charles and the kids will still be at our house. That helps me...but I feel sorry for Mike. I wish I didn't have to go back to work next week! He will probably spend the long hours doing extra work for other projects, so that will help fill his time somewhat. The overtime will be nice too -- seeing as we are taking a vacation in June. Oh well...enough whining. I think I'll go take a hot bath!
