The CLF didn't really kick in 'til lunch yesterday. I think it was easy not to notice the distance between us when the kids or other people were around. It just kind of hit me then.
You're absolutely right, though. I am allowing her to influence my state of mind.
You're also right in that the CLF is an energy-sucking hole that I need to avoid feeding.
I've never been all that patient, but then it's been a couple of YEARS since I have, well, hoed any row, so to speak.
Hope things are going better for you, too. These mountains can be a real b!tch, eh? Seriously, thanks for being around. I felt better just posting, and reading your response was icing on the cake!
PS I finally figured out what my signature tag will be!

Lucky me, I could have been someone else FOREVER! Whew, that was close!
