Finally…

The benefit of having a military roommate has come! One month training course in Mississippi! Of course, he didn’t tell me he was leaving for a month. He told the landlord when she called to set an appointment for the quarterly inspection. I’m not exactly sure when he left for the training course, but he hasn’t been here all week.

Presumably sometime during last weekend, because Sunday night when I came home, he wasn’t here but my bedroom door was wide open. A few weeks after he first moved in, I would come home and my room door would be open. I always pull it shut. Then I noticed he was using my laundry detergent and sucking down my sparkling water like it was free flowing from the tap, I moved those items into my room and installed a keyed entry door knob. Being gone 3-4 days at a time kind of invites a roommie to snoop.

Because, I knew the inspection was coming up, I didn’t lock my room door last weekend just in case the landlord came to do the inspection at that time. The landlord didn’t come, but apparently the roommie was feeling lucky enough to test the knob! It’s annoying, yes, but disturbing. Why does he want in my room? I don’t have a flat screen tv, nor do I have video games…nothing that would entice a male to come in…I have shabby chic style bedding, so it’s a pretty girly room. It must be the foot bath LOL I have to remember, my roommate is a male who goes to the tanning salon, plucks his eyebrows, and uses Crest White Strips. He probably comes in to say a prayer over the foot bath.

Back to him leaving for a month: I’m very happy that I get to live in a clean place for at least a month…since I cleaned the floors last night and the counters and coffee table. But, he left for a month!…with dishes in the sink, the trash can filled to capacity…the run off of which he left on the kitchen table: 2 empty water bottles, 2 empty Emergen-C boxes, an empty wine bottle, 2 packages of tortilla wraps dated April ‘09, an empty canister of anabolic psychoactive protein powder, and a few empty grocery bags. Oh and he didn’t wipe out the microwave so there’s little-bits of god knows what plastered inside. He also left perishable items in the refrigerator…carrots, tomatoes, MILK.

But yes, I am very fortunate for a break! A well-needed break!
