A little thing happened yesterday that is interesting....
It was my day off and as noted I wanted to do some reading. I spent an hour or two at the local library. Apparently while I was out my wife came home from work for a short time - she is still quite sick.
Anyway...when she came home at the end of work day she said " I was here earlier - where were you". I just said "out and about". She mentioned/asked two more times last night. My only response - "nowhere I shouldn't be". Really, I just didn't want to go into detail about why I was at the library, but it appears I created a little mystery. It may not be a good thing, since she may expect the worst, but her reaction was odd.
Today, she was still in bed when I left for work. I thought it was time to see what she would do if I initiated our good bye hug. She didn't pull away or say anything - but she didn't participate either. She was the "hugee" and I was the "hugger". I don't think it did any harm though.
I have added a new goal or watershed I want to reach with wife. I want her to contact me during the day for no real reason. This could take some time to reach, but goals help me determine progress.
