So I have had sporadic contact with my W. Apparently her visit to her family was not entirely pleasant. She was isolated and didn't feel well. She was not able to heal some of her family strife. Her return trip was a series of airline mishaps and they lost her luggage for two days. She is apparently still sick, but didn't know how bad she sounded until I called her. Apparently she hadn't talked to anyone in two days. I called to wish her a Happy New Year and she replied, "Yup." She let it be known that she is mad at me for leaving the cat for two weeks. However, I think she was really just mad I didn't let her watch the cat while I was away. (Something she said on my birthday.) I can't help but feel like she is being cold and distant. There are some things to suggest she is back to putting more distance between us. Our life insurance company called and asked to speak with my W, they did not want to talk with me.
