It Continues

Ailz thinks K may have been watching the house. How else did she know to ring when she did- just after we got back from the hospital?

Ha, we have a stalker!

The first time she rang Joe picked up. He told her Ailz was out (and if she was watching she'd have known it was a lie.) The second time I picked up. And was taken off guard by the flood of apologies. I was expecting recriminations, self-justification- not this.

I forget the exact wording, but she was begging to be taken back.

I blocked her questions. I didn't give encouragement. But neither did I tell her to get lost.

I should have done, I should have done.

"I'll ring again in a couple of days," she said. "Maybe Aileen will be able to talk to me then."

She has convinced herself that Ailz is having a funny turn and will come to her senses and be her friend again.

I had no idea she was so attached......

Yep, I agree. To be succinct -- she's mental.

In other words:
Clock doesn't have all its numbers.
Knitting with only one needle.
Mainspring's wound too tight.
Her little red choo choo done jumped the track.
Vacancy on the top floor.

Or she's a grifter.

I think grifter may be it.

Ailz has reminded me that K has another academic assignment to complete- and without Ailz's help she's going to struggle.

Her cheese had slid off its cracker.
Her porch light is dim.
There are no squirrels in her attic: just nuts.
