Hi Jay. I'm so glad you got through your first day well. As others wrote, we're here for you.

I know what you're going through. My husband had to go to Europe for almost two weeks a while back and it was not a trip I could (or would want to) join him on. When he was away I planned lots of activities for myself, including walks downtown, visits with people, going to the movies, TV marathons, books, a few meals out at cheap places (pizzeria, taco joint, Moojah burgers), and a local cafe. I also kept in touch each day with hubby via Viber. Have you considered Viber or WhatsApp, or the like? They're nicer than just text messaging or even phone calls.
