August 4, 2008:

Lonely landlady.

Broke up with her boyfriend. Father died. Cat ran away.

Sits in her living room waiting for our car, for us to stop for a minute while unloading groceries, for someone to talk with.

My ex is kinder than me. Spends a few minutes with her, while I resolutely march groceries into the house.

I should be kinder, and more patient. But, I want to be alone.
