P called today, just to catch up. I think that she's aiming for once a week unless something in particular needs to be addressed in between.
She was telling me about her plans for her birthday, so I did it. I just asked her what she wanted. She repeated the question, perhaps a little surprised, thought for a minute, then said “Well, it would be nice if you could visit, but it’s pretty far and I’ll be out of town that day.” I didn't immediately respond (a bit shocked at the sentiment of an invitation if not an actual one). She hastened to say that she really hadn't thought about it and we left it that she would think about it.
So, her initial response wasn't "Nothing!" or "Really, you shouldn't." I'm taking that as a good sign.
Later in the day she emailed a photo of something interesting she'd seen during a bike ride.
I had taken some photos of her cats being amusing but I haven't sent them. I'm considering it. I know she misses them.
