So my W called asking if she could stop by the house. She does not often call. Apparently she slept in, not getting up until after 11. She stopped by the supermarket on the way, picking up a holiday treat for me. She stayed for two hours, only talking about work. It was a pleasant, but empty visit. As recommended by my TC, I talked about looking forward to my trip of sand, sun, and surf. By contrast, she is going north to visit family where temperatures will be in the single digits. She is less than enthusiastic.
