So Monday, my W asks me if I would like copies of some documents she prepared. I said yes. She later emailed them to me. We had one or two small exchanges about a job candidate that interviewed that day.
Today I checked my mailbox at work and found a bundle of fish shaped paperclips. I had never seen anything like them before. When I mentioned them to my W, she indicated she knew about them because she put them there! Boy, I can be dense. She didn't make any other comment about them. She let me know she needed to make some corrections to the documents she shared Monday. She said she would accept any corrections I might suggest. When I stopped by later, she did not seem agitated or hostile as she heard my suggestions. She even made a joke.
So... communication is down, visits are sparse, but thoughtful gestures are up. I better get a microscope or I might completely miss any movement on her part.
