Things have been continuing on per usual... what passes for "usual" these days.

A few days ago W went to Atlantic City for the night with 4 friends to celebrate one of the friend's birthdays. She texted me a few pics when they first arrived, and then she ended up texting me at about 3/3:30am to say she had just woken up and had come down with severe bronchitis (she has a history of this and has had to be hospitalized for it before). By the time she got home she was in pretty bad shape, so I've been playing Florence Nightingale since then (huge 180 for me...kind of ashamed to admit). W has remarked a couple of times how much she appreciates the care I'm giving and how much it means to her.

I did notice when W was showing me some pics of her trip that, in addition to wearing one of her sexiest outfits, she wasn't wearing her wedding ring. The outfit doesn't bother me a bit, but the lack of the ring does. Wish it didn't bother me, but it does. She often doesn't wear it at home, but has always made a point of putting it on when she goes out. Haven't seen it since she's been back either, which again doesn't surprise me since she's been home the whole time, but it hasn't reappeared on the stand where she usually keeps it even though she's unpacked her stuff.

Don't want to obsess about it...but it's definitely sort of a trigger for me. Thank god I kept my mouth shut about it when we were looking at the trip pics...but I'm worried if it doesn't reappear I'm not going to be able to keep from commenting/asking about it.
