PS

Today was better. Coolgirl still loves me, of course. I did add stress to her week last week, and she was honest about that. I had a couple of snotty moments, for which she could have smacked me upside of the head but kindly refrained. We're okay now. And I know more about what is going on that is stressing her. Which helps me have empathy, and also inspires me to not add to her crap. Good news all around.
