There are all new people here at the AIRbnb house.
I rent month to month in a house where the three remaining bedrooms are rented out on AIRbnb.
In the bedroom to my right is a nice friendly young man. I think he works here now and is transferring from where he came to now setting up residency in Las Vegas. The bedroom to my left is the problem room. With every new set of guests there's always one problematic room. The person on my left clutters the shared bathroom with all their stuff including makeup, skin and hair care products, which is odd because I thought I met all three people staying here now and they were all guys. Perhaps at nighttime he becomes she? Welp, wouldn't be the first time, eh? Just wish they would take all their crap out of the bathroom (sigh). And in the master bedroom is a nice fella from somewhere-Europe. Poor guy, the glass shower shattered on him yesterday right after he moved in. I felt bad for the housekeeper who had to come back after she cleaned in the morning, to then come back and clean a billion shattered pieces of shower glass all over the floor and in the shower. It was terrible but she did it.
As temperatures finally cool down, I have the desire to go out, be more social. I am in want of a companion, a partner in life, it's "only" been twelve years since my divorce was final, but more than that, I've been on my own for over fourteen years. They say I've been single for too long to get back into another relationship but really? Is it really that difficult to meet a nice man my age who wants to be in a loving relationship? My best friend. Someone to grow old(er) with. Someone chill. Relaxed. Creative. Motivated. As I ho-stroll the usual internet "lonely hearts" websites I find most men hopped up on angry machismo. Bro, relax, you're 68 years old. No one cares if you can flex a bicep in the gym mirror. We just want to know if you're a good person.
As much as I want to go out and be social at the local bar down the street, I probably won't. All I can think about right now is my book. Maybe Tuesday I'll see a movie. It's $5 movie Tuesday here, or it used to be. The Cosmopolitan used to have $5 move Mondays at their dive-in pool but now it's $15 or $20. Supply and demand, I guess. No matter. I can always stream something. Guh. I should force myself to go out. I'll regret it though if I do. I just know it. How's that for optimism?
Update on the room to my left. They finally took out all their makeup, skin and hair care junk that was cluttering the bathroom, but then left behind a full sink of tiny curly black hairs. Gross. WHY is there always one problematic room. WHY. Also, because it's an older house the wooden door frames pucker in the heat, then relax in the winter months, and after years and years of the door frame expanding, shrinking, expanding, shrinking, the door no longer properly shuts, but it takes all of two minutes to realize you have to lift the door ever so slightly when you shut it in order for the door to close properly in the frame, but no, instead people just SLAM! the door shut as hard as they fucking can. SLAM! SLAM! SLAM! Bro, just lift the door slightly when you close it. You remember, rectangle peg in the rectangle hole. Perfection, the game. Some folks really need to play it again. Maybe the homeowner should put Perfection, the game, up in the closet in the room to my left. It's 50/50 whether or not whoever occupies that room will get the "lift the door to fit in the door frame" technique. Like, how brain dead do you have to be to just SLAM! the door shut as your only option. And before people say, "Fix the door frame" proving you've never lived in an old house, ever, you would have to alter the structure of the wall. Heat and cold affect a house year after year after year. And we're not talking 90 degrees heat, people. Try 115-120 for three months straight year after year.
Anyway,
Apparently, Lord of The Rings: Return of The King is back in theaters. It's sold out on $5 movie-Tuesday of course. And really, as much as I would love to support movie theaters, it's hard to when you consider one movie costs as much as a whole month streaming service.
Movies in theaters are for date-nights and by the looks of things I'm streaming something tonight. Oh, what to watch.
Have a good night!
Lisa
