For a change, this week, I am at home working in Singapore, and she is away in KL. We will probably have more of this over the next ten weeks, as she pursues her crossposting assignment in KL.
Two things happened.
For the first time in my life, I could not sleep. Proper insomnia. It had nothing to do with her absence, but the overhang of pending work. I am not good at this. I need to learn my lesson.
And, I woke up to the most depressing gloom of an empty house. I asked myself how she was putting up with that every single morning that I was away. How brave she is, and how fortunate I am.
Which would mean that all this is worthwhile only if it really means something to me, and if I get something out of it.
Sobering. Takes completely away from the email announcing my qualification for Krisflyer Gold. Bah.
And, I am completely in love. I still get a thing or two right.
