RBOC: On Not The Best Of Days

• Woke up early this morning from a dream that involved the Ex (Angel's dad).
• Had a "phone meeting" with two of my bestest friends in the world.
• My doctoral student's program committee meeting went off without a hitch.
• Finished a paper and sent it out to co-authors.
• Never got that 3rd cup of coffee.
• Still haven't made it back to the dojo.
• Spoke to the Ex for the entire walk home from work.
• The job the Ex has lined up for Angel this summer is (a) a bad fit; (b) only 6 weeks long; (c) doesn't start until the end of June, and (d) its dependent upon him paying half of Angel's salary.
• By the end of said conversation I am flabbergasted and, somehow, defensive.
• The Ex can still press my buttons.
• Termite infestation has broken out in my rental home. Landlord hopes we don't need to "relocate."
• b and I scrap our plans for a leftover dinner and head for a bar/restaurant.
• I text Angel to call me...so we can discuss summer plans.
• Angel calls me...worried he is in trouble for an overdraft on his bank account.
• He's been drinking.
• Conversation ends with him in tears because he "loves me."
• Sigh.
