Lisa - I agree it's been a faster ride than I expected. One more week and my H and I have been 6 months separated. 18 months more to go. Sigh.
Joe - what about making a gift? Some of the gifts that got the best reaction from my female friends over the years were a collection of cheapo random things with creative labels on them explaining what they are for. E.g. test tubes filled with jelly beans with labels describing their magic potion powers to help solve something the person has been struggling with lately. Or a box full o' sleep related items for an expectant mum (eye mask, rejuvenating eye cream, eye concealer, aromatherapy, jelly bean sleep potion).
Of course I wouldn't over do the gifts but maybe you could use simple gifts like this to acknowledge things she does or things she is going through while you are strapped for cash? Just an idea.
