Yep, yep, I'm still around and monitoring things here.
Not much to report for the past couple of weeks, really. The wife has been going through a bit of hell in her new job, thanks to an Office Manager there that simply doesn't like her (personality clash) and who would like to drive my wife into quitting if she could, despite the fact that my wife does an excellent job from a professional standpoint. The stress has had its effects at home and in our R, but we're rolling with it ATM.
The good news here is that I've gotten the chance to really hone my female-style listening skills, keep Mr. Fix-It away, and be the empathetic support that my wife needs throughout all of this. That daily, half-hour long debrief of her day when we get together each evening has become a necessary mainstay of our relationship, and helps tremondously to keep us connected, even when things are hitting the fan.
