Oooooooooh! By the comments it seems like we have a little friendly rivalry going on.... Team Matt or Team Seamus? Seeing how I know what's coming I'll vote Team Aido Potato! 🤣 Chubbers unite! This is gonna be fun to watch!

Aiden clingy? Bwaaaaaahaha! He's the kinda cling wrap that everyone fears! Thanks for posting today. I needed a lift. It's been a hella day so far!

Christ on a cracker.... what a day! Not sure if the resident is going to be charged with attempted murder or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon but... in either case I now get to learn the ropes of the eviction process. He went after one if the local lawn guys with a loaded shotgun and a knife. Another resident recorded it on her cell phone. So the police have hard evidence. We'll see what happens. I'm just glad no one got hurt. It's a sad situation however. It seems like this resident is having a mental health crisis or has serious substance abuse issues. Hopefully he'll be properly evaluated and can get some help. Things apparently started escalating a few days ago. I heard (but of course can't confirm because it's all rumor mill) that he had been exposing himself, soliciting sexual acts and brandishing his shotgun several times. He also was telling people that he was turning his house into a "mouse house" and was going to do the same to everyone else's homes. His carport was like a scene from 'Hoarders' as was what I could see from the open door to his kitchen area. If we end up getting possession of the home it's going to be a nightmare. When I first started hearing these things on Monday I kept telling everyone to call 911 if he kept acting that way. Of course no one did until it escalated today. I wish I could drill it into their heads that calling the police is the first thing that should happen. I'm sure @MichaelS36would agree that the cops would rather come out and assess the situation and find nothing wrong rather than having it escalate to the point where a SWAT team needs to be called in, helicopters are swarming and streets are shut down. (That happened a few years ago with the previous manager next door and ended up in a hostage situation and the hostage taker ended up dead) After I take my kid to work I think I just might have to kick back with some whiskey tonight. I sorta need it.

I think I need a bulk case of pepper spray.

Nope...new one.

Oy... I seriously, seriously can't make this stuff up. I currently have the Sherriffs department in my community arresting a resident for attempted murder. I hope my seat belt is buckled tight for this ride!

Interesting chapter. I'm thinking that Ethan has a lot of inner turmoil relating to the violence in his past. It's too soon to really pin Michael's distrust on anything other than he is currently depending on Ethan to keep him safe and he may see Jonathan as a threat to that safety. Ethan has some serious anxiety and most likely PTSD that will need to be addressed at some point. Lots of ways to develop the storyline. Should be interesting to see where you lead us.

Just out of curiosity.....why?

I saw this today and it made me laugh..... A shark biting a human thinking that it's a seal is like a human biting an oatmeal raisin cookie thinking it's chocolate chip. Enjoy your afternoon!

I rested today. I'm still not feeling great but it's getting better. I'm hoping that I'm back up to 100% before my regional manager comes back down to train me. I need to have all pistons firing to deal with him. Upper management never tells us exactly when they're going to show up, but our bets are on this week. Next week at the very latest. Enjoy the rest of your night!

At long last...... Matt finally finds the switch and the light goes on! Great title for the chapter too! (I should probably have you name my story.. I'm still drawing a blank!)

So sorry Fae. Letting go is hard. *hugs*

Hey all, it's been a rough-ish week. Every plant that's not a palm tree has decided to crank out pollen in copious amounts the past couple of weeks. My head has been in a vise. Plus I haven't had a decent night's sleep in at least a week and a half. Waking up 8-10 times a night sucks. Add in getting vaccinated and hit with body aches and fatigue... I have no idea what symptom belongs to what cause. All I know is that when I'm tired I'm cranky, when I'm exhausted I'm bitchy. I don't like being around bitchy me. My social skills have been lacking. I'm just happy me and hubby got our 1st shots, Mom got hers too. Florida is opening up vaccinations to 18+ on April 5 so I'll get an appointment for my younger son and ride my older one to get his. Hope everyone else is doing okay.

Now that I've caught up I figure it's a good time to comment. I'm really enjoying the story so far. You have a way of showing your character's emotions through your words. Ethan's anxiety is palpable. Nice job with the poetry too. I'm not normally a huge fan, but other writers have enlightened me. There are some good resources on this site for poets. Looking forward to more.

One thing I really love about re-reading these chapters is the titles. Soooo much better than the "Boss Nanny Chapter 1/Boss Nanny Chapter 2," etc., The titles fit perfectly. Especially this one. (Although if Matt has superpowers does that make Seamus his Lois Lane? Or better yet..Robin? 🤣) Nevermind me... I'm waaaaaaaaaay overtired. I also enjoy reading the comments. Matt....still so clueless. Seamus.... 🤐

I'm a band mom...4 years of my Friday nights from August thru November spent making sure high school kids got to where they needed to be with what they needed to have with them. Then 4 years of diligently watching any FSU game on Saturdays just hoping for a glimpse of my boy. They focus too much on the football players...😂... what's up with that? (The games on ESPN Fridays are usually top seeded teams to bring in ratings)

I think I still have the draft...

Disappointed? Never. More like rolling my eyes so far back in my head that I can hear my mom's voice telling me my face will freeze that way 🤣🤣 (I was away this weekend and therefore refrained from reminding you with the last chapter that college football games are on Saturday. Not Friday! now those are tears of bitter disappointment! 🤣🤣)

Ahhhh... turning point? And the magic 8 ball says...maybe! One thing is for sure, these two have already broken at least a dozen of Gibb's Rules! 🤭

I think Tonto and Will would've been a formidable duo. Can't wait to see JP and Stef again! Great chapter and looking forward to some sparks flying. Hmmmm... maybe a little triple action? 🤔😄

Finally...a Monday that is starting off the week on the right note. My husband and I both have appointments later this week for our 1st Covid vaccine shot. I also called my idiot brother and while I had him on the phone I made appointments for my mom and for him. Listening to him rant about our other brothers was a small price to pay. Peace reestablished for the moment. Have a good day everyone!

Looks like everyone had a good weekend. After Friday's fiasco I left it all behind and throughly enjoyed the weekend with my family. The drive up was fine, the drive back we hit a ton of traffic. Dinner Sat night brought us some exciting news..... looks like my boy is moving to Kansas. His girlfriend was offered the job and accepted. They'll most likely move some time in July. I'm really happy for them, just a little sad that they'll be so far. I have a sneaking suspicion that they'll probably be engaged before the end of the year. We had an awesome brunch this morning. Restaurant had an outdoor patio and bar area. They had the plastic flaps closed because it was in the low 50s this morning but they had plenty of tower heaters. Irish coffee may have helped a little too to stay warm. I'm so happy so many of you have gotten your first vaccine. Florida opens up to 50 and above tomorrow so we'll get registered and hopefully it won't take too long to get an appointment. Gonna hit the hay soon. I never sleep well away from home and over six hours on the road tired me out. Goodnight all!

Warning....rant in progress. I have unfortunately witnessed firsthand stupidity at its finest. My brother up in MA got my mom on the waiting list for the Covid vaccine because our other brother here wouldn't do it. He was notified that mom has an appt Monday afternoon. Yay! Well...MA brother calls FL brother to let him know. Right off the bat FL brother says "it better not be Monday, she has a doctor's appointment". 🤨 MA brother tells FL brother that I'll take her if he can't. Of course FL brother starts bitching and moaning. They hang up. Shortly after MA brother texts me to let me know that the stupid fucktard that we're unfortunately related to CANCELLED MY MOM'S VACCINATION APPOINTMENT!! Yes, I'm yelling. I'm so fed up with him. I called my mom's doctor wanting to leave a message for her provider to kindly beat some sense into my idiot brother. Lo and behold I'm told that she has no appointment Monday. (I'm one of her healthcare proxies). This tells me that she either has an appointment to get her ears cleaned out or to get her toenails cut. Those are the only other doctors that she sees. WTF? I'm at a total loss. I did get a text later from MA brother. The idiot brother got mom back onto the waiting list and added himself as her caretaker. His son is getting married in two weeks. I was supposed to take mom to the wedding. I figured she'd have her 1st shot by then, I'd mask her up and keep her distanced. Now I'm going to pick her up the day before, not say a word to my brother and text him the next day to let him know we won't be there. I'm not about to expose a 90yr old to a bunch of uneducated, ignorant, unvaccinated idiots. I just don't get it. I want to give up, throw in the towel and never speak to this brother again. But I can't. I have to put up with this shit for the sake of my mom and play nice in the sandbox or I may never get to see her again. *exhale...big sigh* I'm going to let go of the anger, enjoy the weekend with my family and try to deal with this rationally next week. Ugh. Sorry for unloading. Rant over.

I don't envy you one bit. Both my kids nearly lost their lives on the Cross Bronx Expway. (Because of me... I almost stopped in traffic to strangle both of them) We drove MD to MA at least 2x a year when we lived up there. I always hated going through NYC. I thought hauling a 24ft moving truck was bad. Hauling live animals must be twice as stressful!

Thanks Reader! I've had to stop googling. He has multiple issues in addition to that and both of the diagnoses that my brain has fixated on are not good. One is terminal, the other incurable but treatable while the quality of life slowly declines. So yeah...I stopped Googling and will let the doctors figure it out. It's hard though when my gut keeps telling me it's serious. I do appreciate the suggestion.
