Thx Rick.., lately my w has been as you describe... And along wi that she has been physically sick pretty consistently, which I attribute to the stress she is feeling and largely internalizing.

Just a patch of "rough air" as it were. This too shall pass... Just hard seeing her take these steps. But I take solace in knowing a month or two ago I would've been a complete basket case on a day like today.

She just returned home and she tried to tell me a little about it but too many little ears in the area so I told her to stop. We can discuss later. All she said was "it was interesting".

Another interesting convo this morning is that my w is now on night shifts next week too. The night shift nurse had a stroke and is on limited duty for an unknown extended period. She is now worried that she is going to get stuck with nights for a long time to come. THAT would definitely crimp her style and finding overnight childcare is not easy to say the least. The kids certainly could stay overnight with me if it came to that, but then really what we are we doing?
