The Ultimate Invasion

****

The greater the obstacle the more glory in overcoming it.

I'm tired. I need more sleep. I don't know if I'm still
suffering the effects of a hangover, or if today was
sufficiently long enough to make me tired in it's own
right. I didn't do much today, so I shouldn't be tired.
Other than by virtue of it being 12:50am.

I didn't write last night, because by the time I got home
it wasn't last night anymore. It was early this morning.
Dad and I went down to Mako's because I wanted him to see
where I like to hang out. I thought it might be something
interesting for him. Something different. Just to have a
drink and hang out a little. We ran into Misty at the bar.
I thought she'd gone Friday night (and she thought I had,
too), so it was a pleasant surprise. Misty and Dad hit it
off really well. Misty thought he was really sweet and
very cool (unlike any dad she knew), which is true. He is.
After we left Mako's, dad took us to breakfast at Shari's.
That was really nice and I think the breakfast helped keep
me from being as hungover this morning as I would have
been if he hadn't. I had 3 shots of Cuervo (tequila) and a
coconut rum and coke. LOTS of fucked-up in a bottle. Yet,
I wasn't all that fucked-up by it. Maybe my alcohol
tolerance is getting better!

Dad rescued me from that persistent guy I told you about
last week. Johnny. I saw him again last night and he was
still trying to hook up with me. It was like he didn't
even care that I'm married and I love my husband. He just
wanted to get in my panties. He repeatedly tried to get my
number and even though I told him he was being pushy and
making me feel uncomfortable. He still persisted. Somehow,
without me even knowing how he did it, dad managed to make
him go away. I didn't see him again the rest of the night.
Maybe I'll be done with him for good now! One can only
hope.

Today was a quiet day at home. Debbie (my landlady)
stopped by and put the lock box on the front door. I'm not
at all pleased about it. I hate the idea that strangers
have access to my home even when I'm not here. People I
don't know will be walking through my home, in my bedroom,
bathroom. In my daughter's room. I'm a private person and
this feels like the ultimate invasion of my privacy. My
security feels violated just having it there. Not to
mention it obstructs the fluid motion of opening the door.
The knob is hard to get ahold of with the big old clunky
lock box in the way. I'll be so glad when this is over.
Hopefully it sells quickly or we get housing quickly.
Either way I want it over with.

We met up with Gen at Starbucks today. I wanted her to
meet dad and she wanted out of the house, so it worked out
well. We ended up having dinner at Red Robin, which was
nice. I haven't been there in almost a year, I think. It's
been awhile.

Okay, I'm going to take a shower and head off to bed. I'm
getting sleepy. Dad is watching westerns on TCM. I've been
watching them with him, but at some point I need to call
it quits and get some sleep. Now is that time. Ciao!
