So something interesting happened today. We lost power for nearly 2 hours today due to storms moving through the area. Bored with nothing to do, the W downloaded a book onto her phone and we took turns reading to each other. This is something we haven't done since the very earliest years of our R. It was the first time in a long time we felt like our original selves to me. I don't know how she felt about it, and I'm not putting any real stock in it, but it felt good. We used to do this before bed every night back when we first moved in together. Maybe she will want to keep doing it, we shall see.
