I want you to get the h*** out of here, you don't live here

The new flatmate texts asking if he can postpone the move from 2 pm to 4/5, which I agreed; the later the better as I am having cold feet about the whole idea.

3.30, I am in the middle of my yoga practice and he is ringing the bell. This is not a good start!
He is very apologetic but by now he managed to see me in chilled pants, no makeup, messy hair and somehow a bit sweaty. Surely the day would have arrived at some stage or another so at least we are done with this, get used to my home face.

After he finished implanting his things in the kitchen and bathroom I gently reminded him that we have a storage room so boxes go in there, not on top of kitchen boards (feng shui must be maintained).
He does have a sort of nutribullet smoothie maker (which I have been meant to buy for quite some time) so I dispatch my old juicer to the storage room. Brownie points here!

When I was out of the shower he asked: ’What’s your plan for the evening, I can  cook dinner if you want.’ My mind answered: ‘I want you to get the h*** out of here, you don't live here yet my protective mind says but I managed a diplomatic: ‘thank you but no thank you’   

Sitting in silence in the living room while reading the paper I eat leftovers for dinner and enjoy the last Sunday of aloneness whilst closing yet another chapter of my life.
