Context: My wife had been out of the country for a couple months, and I thought she was getting back a week earlier than she actually was.
Speaker 1: My wife has been out of the country for school for 2 months.  I misread the calendar and thought she was getting back a week earlier than she is.
Speaker 2: So you have to wait a week longer to see her again? That stinks.
Speaker 1: Yeah.  It could be worse, but it definitely put a cloud over things for half an hour or so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can imagine. At least it's only one week!
