I don't want to people...

After a lot of work at removing the smell of cigarettes from my clothes and things I brought back from San Antonio, I determined using Febreeze Air worked best at masking it. So I laundered everything after layering that on...and wouldn't you know everyone in the building wanted to do laundry, today.

I ran into other tenants left and right, and had to be pleasant when I just wanted to be left alone. But reality is, I wanted the smell of cigarettes out of my apartment more. So I tolerated them. Stayed polite. Did my thing and scurried back to my room. And life is back to normal.

Tomorrow, I am not leaving my space.

I did work more on Taking Nicky. Chapter Ten. And Rett is fucking with Ben in a different way...literal, but not...and I can see where this is heading. Vance is going to get involved, after all, and shut Rett's plans down, hard. I may even do the thing where Rett disappears and someone finds a video of him being used and abused and sold to a sheik in Saudi Arabia.

I don't know. The UAE might work better. Nobody really thinks about them. Or I might do nothing and have Rett pull back from his evil. I dunno...both seem like cop-outs.

I watched another Midsomer Murders on Acorn, and also saw the newest episode of My Life is Murder.

Cozy murder mysteries...just what one needs in a time of turmoil and travail...
