depressing or vicariously inspiring

So it looks like we'll be completing the kitchen remodel soon. We just need counter tops and a couple of cover panels and it will be done.

That got me thinking about how patient Val has been with me since I started the remodel 425 days ago.

Then i started counting and figured out I've been traveling for work for 146 of those days. I've also been gone for at least another 54 more days (that i could think of/look up) for vacations and weekend trips and such.

That makes 200 of the last 425 days that I've been gone. Wow, that's kind of depressing. Or vicariously inspiring pending on your point of view.
