My husband is going on a business trip to Mohegan Sun. Monday-Wednesday.
I'm so upset, what am I going to do with myself?

You can come here and talk to us. We'll be here.
You can play with your kitties... You can clean (okay maybe not) You can make cookies or cupcakes You can go shopping (the stores are usually nice and quiet early in the week) You can take a nice long bath with no one to rush you.
Oh yeah, you can come here!

drinks with friends
Can't do that If you have read my other posts to some threads.
Taking a bath would be lovely, except for the fact that I have a standard size tub which I am tooo tall for, so it's not enjoyable.

WHen my husband goes out of town (Which he is now) I use the time to do whatever I want.
Try a new recipe Sleep all day watch lifetime movies Shop go into the city and explore drink some wine go to bed early see family/friends get a mani/pedi or massage get my hair done Buy lingerie for when he gets home Run errands do laundry Do all those things you always say you are going to do (put photos in an album, clean your closet out etc....) treat yourself to a mask
geez...I have a lot to do - maybe he should go away more often ahha.

I tried that last year I think it was when his meeting was in Atlantic City. I only saw him when he came to bed. After the meetings and the games and all the team building stuff they do, then they all go out later on to drink. He won't pass that opportunity up. He tells me he needs to because even the big bosses go to drink and he needs to kiss a** a littlle. That year it was so cold and the hotel was right near the water, I couldn't even go for a walk outside anywhere and I didn't want to gamble on my own, since I had never been before.

Go get a massage, and enjoy your time alone. Make cookies!!!! Nothing is like what they taste like right out of the oven!!! Get a trashy novel, etc. I hope this helps... oh yeah go on liweddings and talk to us!

Re: I'm going to be alone for 3 days
Our house is under renovation, so I don't even have a stinkin stove. I cook on those electric burners, which I hate.
I have never baked before, which now would have been a good time to practice and learn.
The only thing I can do is go shopping
Ohh and I could finally write out my TY's I know shocker, I still haven't done them, I am just so lazy

Whenever DH goes out of town, I load up on a bunch of 'chick flick' rentals that he would rather die than watch with me.
Don't be lonely!!! Think about how great it will be to see him after three long days apart!

Hopefully he won't take his laptop with him. I don't think he needs it.

Any chance you can go with him? It sounds like it could be a fun trip?

Re: I'm going to be alone for 3 days
Thats so sad!! If it was the weekend we could have gotten a small group of us shy girls together. But - since its weekdays, I don't know - have you changed your clothes from summer to fall yet? I know how you feel about not having a stove, we just re-did our kitchen and I am finally able to use it this week!!! We were without for about a month. Well, its really only the week nights you'll be alone right? You are working during the day?

Re: I'm going to be alone for 3 days
I feel your pain...my DH is going to New Orleans Sat morning until Wednesday night for business. I don't remember the last time we have been apart for this long.
I actually think it won't be so bad thought... I am taking advantage of the alone time. I am taking a knitting class and have a girls night planned for Sat. night.
Try to enjoy the 'me time' ... do something nice for yourself and before you know it he will be home!

Re: I'm going to be alone for 3 days
Yes I will be at work during the day.
I can be so lazy sometimes, when I come home I don't feel like doing anything. Just watch T.V. or be on LIW.
I guess I have been so lazy lately because of where I am with my life lately.

Re: I'm going to be alone for 3 days
My DH travels for work twice per year for an entire month each time! At first I cried every day. Now I'm used to it (not happy...just not crying!). I definitely make sure I make plans for as many days as possible in advance to see friends, see family, watch movies, run errands, shop, and other things I can't/don't do while he's in town. I also use it as an excuse to go away for weekends with my girlfriends - last time ironically my friend and I went to Mohegan Sun for a long weekend and treated ourselves to dinner, gambling, shopping, etc and had such a great time!

Re: I'm going to be alone for 3 days
It's really not that bad...he'll be gone during the week, if you'll be working during the day you'll only be by yourself for a couple of hours in the evening.
Like the others mentioned do something fun for yourself. Catch up with some friends over the phone if you can't met up with them. Read a new book. Go stay with parents for a night if they live near by if it's so unbearable. There's so many things you can do.
I actually enjoy being apart from DH every once and a while. It gives me time to do something for myself and reminds me of how independant I used to before we were together. I spend time worrying about him that I forget to do the little stuff for myself.
Remember absence makes the heart grow fonder. I'm sure you'll be fine.
