well.... the last few weeks have been hellish on me. i'm working 10 hours a day, working another 4-6 next to that with a college (we are setting up our own thing) and have to keep up with reality along with sleeping, eating, shopping, etc.. etc..
in all this, i've had very litle time for my wife/sub/kitten. and wile she has done a great job making the last few weeks as easy on me as possible, the lack of attention is getting to her as well.
in fact, it's now tuesday evening, i'm in a train riding to my college so we can work on our project, i have slept 4 hours sinds saturday and spent over 40 hours programming various things. i cant keep this up much longer but thankfully i wont have to. (work pressure dropping somewhat).
as for my kitten, she has cleaned, washed and cooked on all ends to meet with me needs for the last few weeks with it turning into midnight dinners in stead of 6 pm...
so i wonder, how do you people cope with being to busy to breath and still taking care of your kitten, as mine is getting the minimum of attenion now and it's showing on both her and myself.... and for the pets... what do you do you keep from ripping your hair out when your owner pops in says hi grabs the other laptop gives a kis and runs out again 3 days strait.?
i go to school 2 hours away from master. he works a lot, even when i manage to come home. i'm not gonna lie, it upsets me a little bit (a lot bit, actually) when i come home just to see him, like for his birthday, and he works the entire time.
at the same time, however, i understand having to work. he's putting himself through school, and he still amazingly has time and energy left after both work and class to spend a little time with me. i am so grateful for the hour or so we can spend together per night until i have to go back to school. i am so proud of him for being able to handle all of the stuff going on in his life and not absolutely crack under the pressure. i owe him a lot for it. =)
temko, if your wife thinks along the same lines, you are truly a lucky guy. i'm sure you realize that by now. keep working hard, and best of luck!

Well, this is what works for me when Master gets really busy and can't spend time with me like usual...
Do you have text or email from phone? Master takes just a few minutes here and there throughout the day to send me messages of appreciation (I might get 2-3 a day). How he misses [my snuggling, my smile, my cuteness, my massages] and gives me words of encouragement [I'm a good girl, how proud he is of me]. It is in no way a substitution for his attention, but it does help me get through the days to know that even when I can't serve him, he's still thinking of me and all that I do for him. It makes me feel appreciated and gives me a little more strength to get through to his next message. (We were apart for almost 2 weeks during the holidays).
I hope you find something that works for you soon, as I know this hard on both of you.

Wile text messages are a good solution during the time i'm travelling, they do not work wile i'm programming for 7 hours straight, also, i'm a focussed person. i cant move from one mindset to another without breaking of the last one completly. (hence why it takes me so much energy to switch from a dom to the-guy-next-door), so when i'm travelling, i just cant take the mental recources to focus on typing a text (hell, i ahve a alarm set for when i need to take a shower....i'm that bad)
on top of that, her phone just got stolen so i cant text her as the house-phone isn't a cell-phone. Here i am again btw, sitting in a car typing up this and 3 e-mails going home for dinner and then back out again...
in so far i'm trying to keep messages/mailing/giving a call when i can. but it's only 1 or 2 a dat and those are mainly instructions or updates on the sceule becouse i'm either in a office or someplace i cant realy take time to talk :S.
oh well... next tuesday should be the last day for this hell. then i can have 5 weeks of "normal" days.
i just finished 2 project and the next stretsch is starting mid-march. in fact i spend all saturday on the kitten and slept all sunday- god that felt good ;)
