Beating the business trip blues

It seems that the best way to ease the 'Michael-going-away-on-business' blues is to have something nice planned for the rest of the day after dropping him off at the airport. Driving back from the airport knowing I was heading off to visit my family meant that instead of focusing on missing Michael, I was focused on looking forward to seeing everyone at home instead. Being on call means that I can’t necessarily arrange a trip home each time Michael goes away but maybe I can arrange my day so I always have something fun planned afterwards.
