Wow. Here's her reply (I had asked her to lunch at the end of it):

I’m going to a luncheon with Judge XXXX sponsored by the XXXXX.
I don’t know what time it was when I went to bed - I was playing hearts :-)
I’m sorry I woke you up. You’re right that we need to work on re-establishing an emotional closeness. I don’t think I’m pushing you away.
We both have a lot going on, and the time we have to spend alone together is so little. Let’s talk more about that this weekend, if not sooner.


WOW. She didn't say I was bringing up more crap for her to deal with. This is a giant step for her.

Hairdog - trying SO HARD not to get too hopeful.
