Had an unsavory visitor yesterday. Her husband needed my husband's help in translating a document. The two showed up without masks. I offered a couple. He took his and I let him inside. She stood and stared at the box like it had been dipped in radiation. I was barring the door. My home. My rules.

Just as she opened her mouth to give an anti-mask lecture, I reminded her of my rules. She had an option: wait in their car. Reluctantly, she took the mask & just plopped it on her face. I waited for her to adjust it properly & let her in. Once inside, she started mumbling about her freedom. *sigh*

The two men had retired to my husband's study, so she & I went to the living room. She said the room was as cold as unfeeling as I was. There was no place for a guest to sit properly. I offered her a stool made from milk cartons since her hygiene was questionable. She was appalled. *Shrug*

With her seated so uncomfortably, I lectured her about our home being our castle. It is for us & no one else. This means that anytime someone suggests they come here, I can honestly say there is no place for that person to shit. We have two dining chairs & two recliners. The sofa is in my office.

Maybe we are in the extreme, but recently I have learned a great deal about my home being a peaceful oasis. I don't want this to be a place where I feel I must run to escape others. I want this to be the place I run towards because I want to be here. Everything is designed for the two of us.

Now there are people who don't mind the decor. Some say this place looks like a comfy movie theater. They are happy to sit on the floor and maybe watch those streaming services I pay for but often forget abojt. Others like that woman are rude and disrespectful. No one disrespects me in my home.

Anyway, the woman made some commentary under her breath while a visiting stray cat hissed at her continuously from my recliner. The cat still hissed at the stool for after she left. I need to burn it. Knowing that her husband can't function without mine, why would she come here to show her butt?

It has been three years, they need to get over it. Bet she has a very different opinion about "freedom" when it comes to anyone not like her.

Oh, I'm very sure she didn't want to come to my house or have her husband ask mine for a favor. Though there are many translators, they struggle to deal with government jargon. Those documents are a part of Mr. Licia's rote memory. Her poor husband. At the very least, she should have respected him.
