Boundaries

Hello Everyone:

Wee more quiet today.  The cleaner came back to finish the job and mumsy was less manic.  I even managed to get away for a while to finish a post from last week.  Thank goodness.  The cleaner means that I don't have to do much this evening so I can chill with a book.  We like that.  I did a good thing this morning, I meditated and ate a light breakfast before going running today.  I did that deliberately because I knew the cleaner was coming and I wanted a few minutes of quiet time.  Of course mum made sure that was not totally possible, heaven forbid she doesn't fill the void with chatter.  Otherwise, the day has been good.  Let's hope the rest of the weak stays this way.  I'm hoping to go back to the park tomorrow morning for pre-breakfast workout.  What's making me think twice about is this one person that has become a real thorn.  He thinks he is my friend but I don't consider him one in the same way I consider some of the people I actually know.  I think I may told about him before, the one that texts me if he doesn't see me one time.  He also gets in my face about everything I write all the time.  I don't mind the comments but at least, read the whole post.  His limited education makes explaining the concept of nuance to him a useless exercise.  A few weeks ago, it just got to a point where I had to say, "look we're friendly but not friends" and re-arranged my time to I avoid him.  I know at some point I'll have to confront him and reinforce my boundaries: no texting and let me work out in peace.  Simple.
