W just called from MIL's place where's she and the kids are on vacation. I've been in touch with D13 every day, but this is the first time W's called since Tuesday morning. (when I was in a funk.)

Nothing special; she just wanted to know how I was doing. I was cheerful, kept it light. Asked her about the baseball game she took the kids to yesterday, how her mother was, nieces, etc. Chit chat.

I told her I hoped she was finding time to relax, and she said she really planned to take this next week off.

I was only remarkable in that she took the time to call. It was a nice gesture, and nothing more.
