for resolution.

Phone call at 7 pm last night. He says he cancelled our RSVP for the party Saturday night. I said it wasn't necessary. I would go. I'd figure it out in my head. He said no. He had thought about it. Most of our friends have decided not to attend, the menu is the same as last year and the door prizes include a manicure and pedicure to which he retorted "and if I did make you go, you won't have any nails left for a manicure anyway"

A compromise. Dinner and Midnight madness Christmas shopping instead.

I accept. We have tranquility

Thank you God.
