Ugh.Ugh.Ugh.
I have had a couple of really good days with little anxiety, feeling optimistic, getting out, making new friends.
Yesterday I took the kids to our pool. We go nearly every day.
Guess who was there?
It's is infuriating to me. This is an inexpensive private club. I was the one who told the XABF about it two years ago, and he joined.
I really, truly didn't think he would go there this year. Last year they only went a couple of times.
I had planned to meet two friends there, brought snacks and drinks. When I arrived, he was sitting at a table right next to them. I couldn't go over there. I didn't want to talk, I didn't want to make any kind of connection.
So I end up sitting across the pool, by myself, with all of my stuff--in an uncomfortable place (no umbrella, it was HOT).
He ended up coming over and saying hello. Then he said "well, I just wanted to say hello, I won't sit here if you don't want to chat."
I said okay, and he went back to his original place.
It ruined my day. I can't avoid this pool. This is what me and my kids DO during the summer. I paid for it. It's "mine." He could go anywhere.
He is a creep.
