You try to keep yourself busy so the days and weeks will pass by a bit faster and you can finally be reunited with your loved one. If one of your nights suddenly becomes free and you have a break down in your normal routine then it's hard to think of anything else apart from how much you miss each other. Get a hobby. Try something different that you've never done before so you need to invest more of your time in to it - you'll be blowing up balloon animals in no time.
