Distraction is key.

He gets snow. I got rain.
He's going snowboarding. I'm moving back to school.
He plays his mmo. I have my crochet.

We both are filling the same void: each other.

Distraction is key.
That's why I've decided that once I get back to school:
> I'm going to spend a day in Cerritos and Artesia looking for the perfect fabric for the vest I will wear at Ren-Faire this season.
>I also want to make it a personal goal to learn, create, and complete a new crochet stitch and make a bedspread as a wedding gift for my lovely Lindsay, who will be wed next January.
>I also need to look further into planning my trip. I have my passport, double-check health insurance coverage, and have a small scrap-journal set and ready to be filled in with adventure details.
>Details of online summer classes also need to be arranged.

Semester ends in May. I've got lots to do.
But for now, I'm off.

I distract myself to hide the pain of his absence.
