i hit my first snag of “the shared living space” today.

i woke up with a headache during the snag of “the shared living space” too.
when i had my own space,
my saturdays was a day to relax,
maybe run errands,
or do some light Foxholing if i chose to.
in someone else’s space,
however,
i adjust to whatever changes at any given moment.
so today,
quiet wasn’t on the agenda.
i was told an hour before…

the little cousin was coming over.

…and i instantly got vex.
i told myself that if it were me,
i’d tell my guest in advance if i had other guests coming over,
especially if its a kid.
some people don’t like/can deal with kids.
they don’t have to leave but they do have to be prepared.

i have to learn people won’t do what i would do.

many people are inconsiderate,
inconsistent,
and in their own worlds.
so i did what i needed to do.

gather a few essentials and take my tail downstairs in the common area.

here i thought it would be a few hours.
nope.
before i opened the door,
i was alerted:

the little cousin is SLEEPING OVER too.
