Summer Guest

Getting ready to welcome D's daughter for the summer. She's 14 and will be sharing the upstairs with me for a couple of months. It will be tight quarters for a bit but I can survive a couple months of teenage girl angst I think.

I'm doing OK lately myself. I have my bills and finances in order now and should be able to start saving up and enjoying life a bit. I know I'm going to be OK after all.

The x kept trying to call me while at work last night, leaving not so nice messages on the phone. DEMANDING that I respond and do as he says. I ignore him. That sends him into yet another fit of rage followed by more messages. His rent is due....rent that I've been the one paying while we were together along with all the other bills. He doesn't work...refuses to work thinking the world OWES HIM. Unfortunately, he knows where I live now. He made that clear in his messages as the post office sent him my new address in confirmation when I had it changed. I wish they hadn't done that.

"I know where you live."

All I want is for him to be out of my life forever, to never see him or hear that voice of his ever again. Restraining order time. Maybe he will get the hint then.

On another note, I am somewhat of a plant nerd...as in I love to grow things. Doesn't really matter WHAT. So I was missing all my houseplants and the garden I had to abandon. I splurged and bought a couple starter plants to make me feel more at home here: Houseplants are healthy...they give you a sense of peace and relieve stress as well as clean the air. I'd like to perhaps get a small aquarium up here so that I can use the fish water as houseplant water and give me a pet to tend to as well since I cannot have other kinds of pets here. Goldfish have been ok'd. I've never been without a pet of some kind to tend to. But all in due time...

Philodendron "Brazil"

Croton "Luna"
I know the walls look icky...I will paint them eventually when time and money allow. And as  you can see, I'm pretty much still living out of boxes and suitcases. But that's OK...because I am free. :)
