Home alone (with Tio of course :D)

Hmmm last month DH was away for 3 weeks. He went to Laos, first for 1 week in which he gave training in Vientiane, then he was home for the weekend and went to Luang Prabang as he participated in a training.

I had worried about these 3 weeks. He had gone to Nepal for 1 week in June before Tio's bday and been away for shorter periods before, but not 3 weeks. I was sure that I could manage the daily chores but was not sure how it would feel to be alone for 3 weeks. Turned out we survived. The hardest parts were being always on the siege while doing the chores, having to take a bath while he's sleeping (and then worrying that he would wake up when I was in the bathroom) and having even limited amount of adult talk :D

Now DH is again away in Indonesia for 1 week... having conquered the 3 weeks separation, this time it feels easier. Anyway I'm still looking forward to our trip to Indonesia.... then we can have him 24 hours with us (minus the time for his big family, of course) :D
