Adjusting to being a LBS #2

[Subitai]

So, we went to a show together, which we had planned before the BD. It actually went quite well. I held off talking about R stuff, and made general chit-chat, talked a bit about kids/etc, in a very calm and non-confrontational way. It was pretty good. The show was fantastic. We talked about it the whole way down. Then she brought up MC, things she said there, things she felt she was proud of articulating. I affirmed and listened, I actively agreed with a lot of what she said (And I DID agree with a lot of what she said). I thanked her, too, because I felt I had a better handle on our sitch afterwards, and answered the questions she had for me. After we got the sitter squared away, I told her I would get out of her hair, she said "You're not bothering me." I said goodbye anyway and left. I felt more comfortable in the conversations.

Much better. I'll see her again on Saturday.
