I woke up and had to call the maintenance guy to come fix my plumbing.

Then it began to downpour rain. An old woman came to the door who was born in 1930. She was lost and wet and I let her in from the storm. I spoke with her and sewed on a doll I am making for a little girl who lives next door. I asked the old woman if she had family she could call. She told me no she lives alone. I asked her if she had family. She said she had siblings. The first time I asked her if she had children she said "no" but later when I spoke of my children she told me she had a son with blond hair.

At the time my son and two of his tall teenage friends were playing on my computer. I sat at the dining table with this strange old lady who was most likely senile. Next thing my ex husband Steven walks in my house without asking or calling first. I told him to leave that he isn't allowed in my house. He starts yelling that he was here to pick Seamus up. Seamus wasn't ready to go.Steven refused to leave. I didn't want to scare the old woman by making a scene so I refrained from getting into an argument. After the rain ceased, she remembered where she lived and that her son lived next to her. So Steven drove her home and left to sell his plasma.

Steven likes to overstep his boundaries with me and tends to do things like steal money from me and food. I have learned to keep my distance from him.

The maintenance guy fixed the plumbing and now all is calm and quiet.

Earlier this week we had rescued a baby robin from a cat and gave the baby to the local bird lady in these parts. Actually I think she takes care of other wounded wild animals as well. She told me that cats have a bacteria in their mouths that kills birds and that she has to put the baby robin on antibiotics. It was a healthy little bird and will probably survive.
