Thanksgiving and the Attack of the Ex-Girlfriend

I left UMass Dartmouth on Tuesday night expecting a relaxing vacation with the family, interspersed by working on my latest novel and hanging out with my mates from high school. Alas, it was not so simple. While I was in the process of putting up one of the Christmas trees in my house with my mother and sister, the doorbell rings. Who is it at the door but my ex girlfriend, two years later. This was possibly the most WTF moment I can remember.

Apparently, she wants to be friends again. Or something. She gave me a note, since I wasn’t about to let her into my house out of the blue, and it does appear sincere enough. Haven’t come to a decision yet, as I’m still a tad shell-shocked, I suppose. Have to wonder what spurred the whole thing, though. The note amounts to a lengthy apology, and a bit of an update as to what she’s been up to. In any case, I can’t come to a decision just yet as to what I’m going to do. Advice from close friends is mixed.

On the plus side of things, I have a new phone. It’s orange, and the blurb claims it’s ‘built to military specifications.’ I’ve been redoing the contacts list, so I’m missing a lot of numbers — pass yours along if I don’t have it, or you just want random calls at 3AM.

That’s all for now; time to work on the webcomic before I forget I ever had such a thing.
