Being in Austria.....

I arrived more than one week ago here in Vienna - but it's not the same any more like in the past. Additionally I feel like being in an ice-age; it's cold, almost every day there's new snow falling and the "old" one is only melting a bit. What a difference to Illinois, where the spring is almost there.
However - I'm busy with trying to close my affairs here. Unfortunately my teeth got me a bit in trouble, but it's not as bad as I had thought. I had to have a surgery done today, but I'm not in pain because of a wonderful dentist. Thank you, Gloria - and of course also your team, you are great!
My house is a big mess - it really drives me crazy, but I guess this will not change much before I will leave. I'm very thankful that Michaela, my daughter, is here right now for a few days and she did a great job! I know exactly that I wouldn't have been able to accomplish such a lot of things alone. Thank you Michi!
I'm missing my darling David so very much. We are on the phone every day and thankfully our webcams work. I do not mind to get up in the middle of the night when he comes home from work - that's natural for me. I need to see him, to chat or talk with him for a while and to ask him about his day and the latest news from Mascoutah. I also miss Snaps, the feeling that he cuddles himself between my legs - in fact when I wake up in the night I turn around just like he would be there - until I notice that I'm in a bed in Vienna. I could hear my little spoiled princess Laces on the phone for several times - yelling at her daddy and claiming her treats. That spoiled, demanding, smart, incredible, little shit. I'm also missing Dad, but I called him two times and it's good to hear his voice and to know that he is doing fine. And hopefully he will not forget to eat! Dad, think about your pants! You should try to fit into them again!!! :-)

As far as I can see and hear - and of course feel - is my honey doing fine. Our incredible "connection" still works just like in the earlier days before we met in person. And that is a very good thing to experience while we have to be separated right now. I only got scared a couple of days ago when I didn't hear or read anything from him, but thankfully everything is ok. He had spent time with Cassie - he said they had a good time together, along with good talks. I know that my sweetie is always in a hurry (we really have to work on our time-managment, baby! gggggg) and hadn't been able to leave me a message. That's ok, as long as I know that he's ok. It's good to know that they two spent a lot of time talking about important and essential things of the past and also about the new situation. I hope we can do this again in a threesome when I'm back.

Mom always said,"I'm totally blessed". Yes, Mom, I'm totally blessed too. I know that you and the Good Lord continue to take good care of David and me. I felt it so strongly today during my surgery. You surely know that I'm always scared about a dentist - and today that big challenge! But surprisingly I couldn't feel any fear when I went there. I was some kind of cool, although I knew that it wouldn't be a funny thing. Thank you, Mom - you are so wonderful!

19 days left......... and I will be back to hug my wonderful husband again in person. I can't wait!
