The Good Life

    Life sure has a funny way of taking you to unexpected places. It's been what, three years since I've updated you fine folks on my comings and goings? Well let me start with letting you know that I no longer live with the kid, but he's doing great.

    After dispensing with the couch dick, his mother found herself a keeper. He's a pretty decent guy, treats the kid like he's his own son. The last I checked, they were talking about marriage. Good for them, they both deserve some happiness and I moved out shortly after checking the new guys credentials. 

    I moved into a little three bedroom number in the same neighborhood, you know so I could keep on the kid. I'm technically still living under a bed but only because it affords me more space for my stuff. Guess who's bed I'm living under? Mine!! That's right, I'm living under my own bed, in my own room, in my own home. I do however have myself a roommate. You're never going to believe who's living with me. No seriously, guess who's living with me... SCOTTY!! 

    Scotty got out of the hospital and he needed someone who was going to be able to help him, you know, make sure he was taking his medication and going to his therapy appointments. I feel kind of responsible for his conditions so it just felt right that I should be the one to help him out. 

    I let him have the master suite and the second room of his choice. It seemed only fair since I've basically got a one bedroom apartment under my bed. I just use the actual bedroom for an office. I've been using my abilities to get around almost unseen to procure hard to come by items and sell them on Ebay. You now country specific items and what nots. Being able to bypass customs makes it a pretty lucrative gig. 

    The last couple of years has netted me a nice little nest egg, enough to afford my won home. Scotty living with me almost makes everything look normal. He even comes along with me from time to time when I need a human for face to face interactions with clients. This pandemic hasn't slowed me down either, I don't get sick so Im not out there spreading anything and since I can bounce around I've been able to get all sorts of stuff.

    Its's been pretty good, everything has been quite nice here. Davey have even moved over here, it really has become monster party central. Scotty knows he can't really tell his therapist about any of this. All his therapist knows is that he has lots of friends and he lives with someone he's known since he was a child. His therapist says he's lucky to have such a large support group.

    Scotty is doing really good. He got himself a job and a girlfriend. He's washing dishes over at Luka's diner. It's not the best job but it pays and that's also where here met his new girl, Moira. She's a tiny little thing with red hair and more freckles than not. She's a waitress at Luka's. Her grandmother was a brownie, so with that heritage she's barely five foot tall. She's super nice and she loves him more that anything. She also knows me so it's a win win all the way around.

    As for me, not much happening on the romance front. I do drop in on Bri any time I have to go to Russia though. We're just really good friends and I'm pretty sure that's all it's going to ever be.

    Anyway, Scotty and Moira have been seeing each other for a little over a year now and they seem pretty solid. I'm happy of him. He's have a rough life, partly do to me and my kind. He deserves som happiness. 

    We had a bit of a Halloween party over here back last October. We invited the gang from out therapy group, it was a pretty good time. Some leprechaun showed up and got piss drunk, but that I mean he passed out drunk and pissed himself. The funny thing is, nobody knew who he was. We just rolled him up in a blanket and sat him out on the back patio. He was still there come morning still passed out mumbling "Too La Roo" over and over to himself. We got a few trick or treaters. It was a real treat for them since this was pretty much a no costume party, other than Scotty, we pretty much came as our usual selves, no glamour. I did bust out the velcro zipper and put it down the front of me so I at least looked like I was wearing a costume to the candy beggars.  They all loved it when I stretched my arms all the way out to drop the candy into their bags. The parents thought I just had on some elaborate social distancing device built into my costume. 

    The kid and his friend (the former bully) came by and the kid had the best costume ever! He was wearing a trench coat, a wide brim hat pulled way down and a pair of sunglasses to hide his face. He had really long fingers hanging out of his sleeves and shoes that mad his feet look way too big. He was walking scrunched down too, trying to make himself look smaller that he actually was. Take a wild guess who he was supposed to be. I told me I absolutely loved his monster costume. He told me he wasn't a monster, he was a guardian, a secret protector of children. I gave him double the candy and damn neared cried.

    Well now you know what we've been up to. Just living and doing to best we can, and I hope you all are doing the same. Until next time everyone!

Peace, Love, and Dust-bunnies!
