All that angst over nothing.
Sep. 8th, 2004 10:00 amI was going to use the Marvin the Martian line about the earth-shattering boom, but then I realized that I'd already done that particular joke in another context, so...this is more accurate anyway.
The talk with the ex went a lot better than I thought it would, and after discussing it with my daughter afterwards I've come to the conclusion that while the two of them may have talked quite a bit over the last four years I don't think either of them were listening too well. Which is about all I want to say about that. I'm not comfortable dragging family business out in the street, even if it's the virtual street, and doing it to the extent that I did it in yesterday's overwrought post is embarrassing enough.
As an unexpected bonus, I got back a sackful of books I'd been missing, a stack of records (yeah, the big vinyl things everybody used to listen to before CDs) that I didn't realize I was missing, and some photos from Germany and junior high school. Hard to believe I was ever that skinny.
