progress

Last night I actually noticed and was the first to say something about my patriarchal behavior! Miracle of miracles!

Sarah and I had been talking about packing up some magazines to get rid of and she'd been very clear about her concerns regarding their weight and protecting them from rain. And then not ten minutes later I'm just stuffing them into bags and not even thinking to ask her what she had in mind. And I actually noticed it while it was happening and said something. Usually Sarah has to notice it and then I get all defensive and it takes me an hour to admit that I didn't listen to her. Which is pretty fun for both of us.

It feels like a very small bit of progress.
