[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 625767, member: 13542"] Thanks everyone, I appreciate everyone's understanding........we all have such similar stories, don't we? Well, SO and I left early in the day to go to another town for a reflexology appointment I've had for a month, couldn't have been better timing, a superlative way to relax and get nurtured. We took a beautiful drive through the hills on a dramatic day of dark and windy storms and then brilliant sun. I couldn't help making an analogy with that kind of weather and life. We got home to two messages from the jail. Then 2 phone calls from a friend of my daughters whose phone is reachable by the jail because he lives in the same town so apparently she is able to call him. He called to be the middle guy between her and I. I told him to tell her I have the car but the cats went to the shelter. He said, "boy she is going to be upset about the cats." I said, "well, then she can get out and deal with it because I'm not." I chatted with him for awhile, he said to call if I needed anything. The phone just rang with a recorded message telling me I could call or go online to pay for some phone system for my daughter to call me. I did that once the last time, it cost $30, it was $8 to process the account, $4 for the first hookup, $3 for each additional hook up, so I ended up talking to her a few minutes, it was a complete rip off. I am not doing it. There is no reason for me to pay to hear her upset about her cats and her story about her arrest. I am weary of it. So, instead, SO went out to get ice cream and we're watching the Giants play Cleveland. Her life is not bleeding into mine anymore. It feels very, very good. ECHO, you are probably right about the drama between she and I. I hadn't thought about that, but that seems right. Tomorrow will be all about the prom, makeup, pictures, proud grandparents standing around looking like moonstruck aliens in a sea of decked out teenagers headed out to the ball. I'm really looking forward to it. And, Sunday we're driving to San Francisco to walk around Chrissy Field underneath the Golden Gate and then walk across the Golden Gate, that's [I]my kind of exhilaratio[/I]n................:joyous: [/QUOTE]
