Going to have a vacation from my girlfriend

My gf will be away for a couple of days helping her sister Amelie move and watching her baby during while her Amelie moves from her old apartment in Japan Town to a house in the Richmond neighborhood on the western side of the peninsula. She's leaving tomorrow morning.

Her sister is moving because of her own domestic problems. Amelie just annulled her marriage after about 1 yr. A little over 1 yr ago, she married a co-worker at her firm, and got pregnant. Then, with her sister 8 - 9 months pregnant at the firm's Christmas/winter holiday party, her sister's husband makes out with another co-worker, right in front of her in the bar. It's not an "open" relationship, so this behavior is inexcusable. She later found out that this had been going on for a while. To make things worse, in the following weeks, it was discovered that he has piled up 10s of thousands of dollars of online gambling debt, has drained their joint bank accounts. And, he (Jon) continued to go on with the affair in open defiance of basic decency.

Idle hands are the devil's playthings

It will nice to have my gf out of the house. She's unemployed, has no hobbies or passions that she devotes much time to (except cooking sometimes), and watching TV... A healthy, able-bodied adult ought to stay busy nearly every day. If not with work, with reading, art, or poetry or something engaging and uplifting. Something that gives life a purpose. Aelys has been unemplayed for a while. Not paying her share of the rent, but that's not what I'm complaining about. I don't mind helpign her with that for a while as long as she uses her tiem wisely and is considerate.

It's her idleness that is causing all of the problems I've been having with her lately. She says her only hobby is myself. I'm some kind of project for her, an emotionally damaged and uncouth person for her try to fix and civilize. So, all she does during the day, while I'm at work, aside from a minimal amount of housework, is to get into my things, open my crates and boxes, organize my closet without my permission, mess with my clothes, my books, my box of smut magazines, somethign, anything. And all of it crosses personal boundaries and creates a lot of stress. My things are none of her business. Another thing I mentioned has been spying in my browser history. If not that, she sits around wathcing TV and crying.

Anyway, while she's gone, I'll do some reading, ride my bike, work on my hobbies, sleep in, and relax for the first time in a while.
