The New Steamroller

On Saturday TNS moved a bed, clothing and assorted other things into the apartment. Saturday evening when I got home, she called to say she'd be going back and forth but would be sleeping here starting Tuesday night. Today I came home from work to find a note from TNS saying she'll still be going back and forth.

When I was on the phone with my brother this afternoon he reminded me to try to be nice to her, and not make her feel like shit just because I don't want a roommate and only have one for the extra money. I know he's right. And I came home ready to be all perky and welcoming and on my best roommate behavior. Only to see the note.

And although I'm happy she's not here, it's the second time now that I mentally prepared myself for her to be here, and the second time she's not here.

At least I have security and rent checks from her. So as far as I'm concerned, she should feel free to stay away as much as she'd like.
