I spoke too quickly about things easing up at school, unfortunately. It might just be one of those semesters. So let's talk about other things and focus on the positive

Quiet is indeed a nice thing. Being mostly deaf, I can get it easier than most. But I do like the times when the breeze is gentle and there are no equipment noises, or people noises, only the occasional gunshot off in the distance.
I like navel oranges for eating citrus fruit, I'll have to check out the clementines. They're kind of tangerine-like, right?
Clementines are fantastic. They don't have as much pulp as oranges, either, and they're usually so tender
Your nephew sounds adorable. That mimicking sort of thing cracks me up. I remember when Toby was that age and Howard was putting together a bookcase. After Howard did something, Toby would run to his plastic toolbox, find the matching plastic tool, and then do it, too. Little kids are adorable, and four is just such a fun, sweet age! (Seven is fun too, in a completely different way :) )
I totally agree with you about business trips. I know we both adore our other halves, but if they have to go, you might as well enjoy all the things you can't do when you're considering someone else, like eating what they don't like for dinner, watching something they don't want to see, sleeping across the whole bed and hogging the covers, or like you said, just enjoying the silence :)
* I got a long, newsy, handwritten letter in the mail last week! I'd almost forgotten how lovely it is to communicate in this tangible way and to find something personal in the mail box.
Aww, that sounds wonderful. It's been ages since I have written or received mail in that way....and this makes me want to.
I am glad you are appreciating the silence. I know some people don't like it, but I'm someone who really needs some time away from people every once in a while. (My cat is the exception! ;) )

And yes to the joys of spending a few days alone - the sound of silence. There's nothing quite like it.
I hope the workload will ease up soon!

And I am a firm believer that clementines are one of the best things on the planet.
