The Valentine's Day from Hell - 13 Days Left is Far too Many - Monster Strikes again

Oh, how I long for that night of Pizza Hut while I brooded listening to college boyfriend lament about his future after promising me a nice steak dinner.  That seemed like a more simplistic Valentine's Day.  No, didn't get a gift.  I got the gift of non stop talking from him.

Anyway, last night, the monster popped up on the Ring alerts . He was done by the washer  - our washer for a long time.  It looked like he was disconnecting something.  I sent a video to my landlord and told him.  I hated to do it at 9:30 at night when he was four young kids to put to sleep.  We went downstairs after he went up which made us both shaky.  We wondered what was he doing?  It looked he zip tied the hoses to our washer and cut off the water supply.  Why? What else did he do?  My mom did a few loads of wash yesterday and he was doing as well.

I heard from the landlord last night and he said that the monster sent a video that a faucet was leaking.  My mom now believes the monster isn't going anywhere.  Well, you can't go by a text but I get how she feels.  So many times we have thought that he was going and he wasn't.  I got an apology and was told that he would be having a conversation with him in the morning.  What does this all mean?  I don't know.  I still think he's going but yeah, we have believed that many times before.  

I just went to bed shortly after that and I couldn't sleep. I even took something to help me and it wasn't working. I could hear yelling but I couldn't make out the words.  He and his girlfriend probably know that there's a camera in the basement.  News flash.  If you were trustworthy, we would have never gotten the Ring camera.  It stays up there no matter who lives here and if we wind up going, we'll put it to good use somewhere else.

My mom took pictures off the wall last night.  When I got up, she had been up all night mad.  I didn't try to tell her that the monster is still going . You can't go by someone's text and dig too deep.  Misunderstandings happen.  Once she has it in her mind?  It stays there until otherwise.  I didn't go for my walk by the east side.  Not with the snow.  I thought maybe I'd go for a drive but I knew she was feeling uneasy and well, I'm uneasy too.

I went to a few stores and to the post office this morning.  I didn't realize I had gotten to Aldi's too early so I sat in my car and played video games.  It was actually nice to do after last night.  Luckily, when I came home, I found my mom fast asleep.  Good.  She needs her sleep.  We need a break.

It appears that his girlfriend has made an effort to shovel out front. I saw her cleaning her car off when I drove by.  I was out there before 8 shoveling some snow so I could get in and out.  I brought my shovel in case my mom wants to go anywhere to clear a path.  Walking in the snow wasn't bad.  I think she may want to stay inside after last night.  I'm ok with that too.

I had taken the garbage out and I felt horribly uneasy walking by his door.  That's how I felt ever since he blew up 3 years ago.  I feel unsafe in my own home because of him.

As usual, he's got a girlfriend doing his work.  

I hope my mom isn't right.  I guess 13 days will decide what's finally happening here.  Either he goes or we do.  

This sucks.  Feeling safe in your home shouldn't be a luxury.  It's a right .
