It was scary sending him that note when I'm about six months too early to do it without Faking it til I make it, but I knew with every fiber of my being that he was going to write today, he's getting kicked out of another house today. He hasn't though. I don't know if he didn't get the email or if he actually understood that I was setting a non-negotiable boundary. Ah, yet another thing to let go of.

A friend of mine gave me a little stuffed animal that is a rat. I'm a huge rattie fan. I even work at a rattie rescue. Anyway, after much deliberation, I decided his name would be Detachment Ratment Dickens. Any other day, he might have gotten a cuter name, but I need the reminder, today. And heck, who says you can't change a name later, right?
