Newby here, desperate for some advice

[JRuss]

Thanks for (tough) grading, Coconut. I have a lot to learn. It is sobering. But I really, really appreciate your insight and the time you took to respond.

Just to clarify on the "no goodnight", my thinking was that she was upstairs at the time, and I would have had to make a trip upstairs solely for the purpose of saying goodnight, which I would have done pre-DB, but it felt needy to do it last night. So it wasn't like I just walked right by her and ignored her -- just didn't seek that little conversation out like I normally would have. Does that change the analysis at all? Good grief I feel like a loser having all of these questions and so little confidence!
