My time and peace are precious commodities
I have been single for 4 years, living alone for 4 years and I have realized that my time and peace are precious commodities.
An old friend from college came to visit and it’s a long story but he expected to be driven around town, expected a grand tour of my city etc he was unemployed for a long time and finally got a new job and didn’t want to spend money on a hotel and a rental car
I wanted to spend this 4th of July weekend decorating my living room but he’s there sleeping in my living room and I said to myself okay I don’t mind playing hostess because he’s an old friend but I do feel that he intruded on what would’ve been a relaxing long weekend for me.
I thought he was leaving Sunday morning but turns out he’s leaving Sunday evening and he wants to go out and eat when I really wanted to just stay in bed and doom scroll because it’s back to work tomorrow Monday.
I promised myself apart from my parents, this is the last time I will allow anyone to stay at my place.
