So I punted. (Or p*ssed out, as my brother would say.)
On reflection, I decided that "Saturday Night" carried too much psychological/emotional weight, particularly given the fact that (a) our second "first" MC session would be just 3 days later and (b) I will certainly have retained a lawyer by that point, and that lawyer will be lawyering, and that means money talk, and that always sends WAW off the deep end.
But, a la Coach, not wanting to forego the opportunity to mojolate, I asked if we might not have a lunch outing in lieu of "date night." This, I said, would have the additional benefit of saving (me) the money for a babysitter, ye olde Greenbacks being in rather short supply these days.
She hasn't responded, which I take to be a good sign, because when she's hugely vexed she replies instantaneously.
Meanwhile I had a fantastic Skype with Foreign Female Friend, whom I'm going to visit for a couple days en route to my European Business Meeting. It's been years and years since I've been to Teutonic Country, and since FFF lives there it should be a great opportunity to see the "local" places instead of the Europe In 20 Minutes A Day places. Whenever I travel I always find the places tourists don't go to be infinitely more rewarding than the obvious ones. So I have that to look forward to, plus we always have very nice conversations, and I always learn a lot from her, so it should prove to be a very welcome diversion from my normal mental state. And since she's going through the same kind of craziness that we all here are, it's a chance to pay-forward some of the great insights I've got from you all hereabouts.
