Today, so far

She was awake this a.m. when I left and allowed for a "normal" cordial goodbye kiss.

I reminded her that I had a meeting tonight from 5:30 until 7:30 or so, and she just shrugged that off.

She may have gone to the big city with her Sis today, but I don't know.

I haven't tried to call her, I'm too tired this p.m. and I don't need any drama.

For my part, I had a hard time settling down last night -- partly from getting home so late and putting in such a long day (first meeting @ 9am, home at 10pm.... longgggg....)

And it was hot and muggy -- so I didn't even attempt to go to bed until I was virtually certain to fall asleep. About midnight....

But at least it wasn't because of contention.
