How October can come and go. I am just realizing this in my late 20s. Last October, I was in a tornado. Now, I was closer to the eye. I guess that's one thing to be glad about. I was depressed as shit this time last year.
With almost every room filled, being home isn't as deadening. I've realized that houses like these are supposed to be lived in. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I had it built for 2, and I wonder what Rhett was thinking when he let me build it. Now that I think of it, I bet he thought he could fill them all with jrs. The horror.
I was surprised that so many people would want take up residence here... So, I can't come to your home, but you're fine coming to mine? Cool. Thanks.
Anyway, their company (and paychecks) are a welcome distraction. I don't even mind any children walking around as long as they are not mine, and I don't have to deal with them.
Big decision:
- As much as I love option #2 from previous entry, I have decided to put my big girl panties on and start with #1. Win a date with Ashley Wilkes!
- I realized I must first fetch myself some lady friends. I was frazzled for a week wondering how I would overcome my potential antisocial personality disorder. Then, I saw a simple solution: I had tenants! Tenants who respected me (to my face), because I was the land lady! Hurrah for what money can buy. My life just got easier.
- Unfortunately, this means I have to be around the house more and get to know the tenants, but this is a small burden in comparison to the larger burden Ashley+Beau-4ever spelled out. The last thing I need is to change someone's diapers into my 90s... and knowing my luck, I would live that long, and so would he. Buzz kill.
For once, I saw the benefits of networking with beyond just men.
Mammy asked what kind of woman I would seek out for Ash. She thought I would try to find Mellie Jr, and I just don't have that kind of hope. Mellie was too good to be true. Ashley and I have both been shit heads, and God knows he doesn't deserve Mel 2.0. So, I just said, "Mammy, beggars can't be choosers."
