Series: 03 TOC September 2021

Hi!  It’s me!  Lily!

And it’s raining!  And thundering!  Yayyyyy!!!!!  We need rain!  Thunder a little less, but thunder comes with the rain, so yay!!!!  Let it rain!!!

So Sabby told me she’s really proud of how much the events of Sunday don’t seem to be affecting me, but I asked her why they should affect me?  I handled myself, he got in maybe one good grab and that was it, and it’s all taken care of.  What’s the point in being too upset about it?  She said that sometimes that kind of thing can be traumatic for a girl, and maybe it would have been if he’d gotten any further, but he didn’t!  So why be too upset about it?  Most boys are pretty nice and know what the limits are.  Just because I don’t want a boyfriend right now doesn’t mean I don’t like boys!  So why should I let one idiot hurt me more than he already did?

Oooo that was a close lightning strike!  Made me jump!!!

So this weekend we’re going to go see a sensei and find out what kind of martial arts I know and how good I am at it.  I can’t wait!  I’ve wanted to do a sport!  And this might be something I’m actually good at!

Oh, and he did get out on bail, but the restraining order was apparently very quickly granted.  He can’t attempt to make any contact with me in any way, and if he tries, he could get in serious trouble.  The lawyer warned me, like Sabby did, that that only helps after the fact, so I still have to be careful, but it’s a good thing, and I’m glad he got it so quickly.  Dave and Sabby have a good lawyer.

Well, Beth and I are going to do our hairbrushing ritual, and then I’m going to try to sleep, if I can through all this noise.  I love the rain, but it’s noisy!!!

Love you all!!!

Hi!  It’s me!  Lily!

We got a LOT of rain last night!  It was noisy!  Thunder all night!  But it wasn’t the loud kind, it was the quiet rumbly kind.  I didn’t have too many problems sleeping.

Well, after all the excitement of the weekend, back to normal today!!!  Sabby asked me a good question, though.  She asked why I didn’t react that way with that karen a while ago.  I thought about it.  Finally I told her that I think it’s because I didn’t really see her as a threat – I was more confused than anything.  She grabbed my arm, but I was already walking over to her, so I guess I didn’t really feel like I needed to react.  With that guy, though, I needed to react, and, well, I guess I did.

It’s funny though how all that stuff seems to happen to me.  I’m just a magnet for bad stuff, I guess.  Or bad people.  Sabby thinks it’s because I seem innocent – even though I’m only mostly innocent.  I guess innocence attracts those kinds of people.

Oh, and speaking of that karen, the court date is approaching soon – things have been backed up because of the virus.  Her lawyer’s been trying to get us to settle and drop the charges, but Sabby’s refusing.  She says if she can grab me, she can show up at court.  I guess I’ll have to be a witness soon.  Or maybe just Sabby.  We don’t know yet.  There’s CCTV footage too, which the police already have, so maybe it won’t be too big a deal.

Anyway, gotta scoot!!!  Love you all!!!

Wow, it’s the end of September already!  Can you believe it?  Holidays are coming up!

It was a boring day.  Boringly boring.  What did one of those space guys say?  90 percent boredom and 10 percent terror, or something like that?  Maybe that’s life too.

But we did hear from the police.  The guy is out on bail, but he was served the restraining order, and if he’s caught anywhere around here it’ll be curtains for him!  I hope he stays away!  I don’t want to have to beat him up again!  They told Sabby that a part of his bail conditions were that he has to get a psychiatric evaluation.  Can they even do that?  I guess so.  Anyway, I guess we’ll see how that turns out.  I have two pending court things going on, and they’re both for people attacking me!  What the heck?!

But at least nothing really bad happened either time, and I even learned something about myself!

Well, short entry today.  I need to go to bed!  I’m tired!

Love you all!!!
