Don't do what Johnny Don't does

Johnny Don't #314 :

Don't do what Johnny Don't does. Don't see (or communicate with) your recently ex'd girlfriend/boyfriend for a long, long time. It just makes things easier.

I decided to drop off Kathryn's spare keys today at around 1:30 because I thought she would be at work. Oh, how I was wrong. Her door was open for some reason and she saw me come up to the door, so she invited me in for a bit. Against my better judgement, I went in and we talked (well, I was trying pretty hard not to lose it so the words weren't quite flowing). To make things worse, her dogs were jumping all over me as if to say, "Where the hell have you been, human male #3?"

Fuck. Why did I go in? That's the last time I do that for a long, long time. I'll have to be craftier when I get my bass back from her brother - the goal will be not to see Kathryn in order to avoid much pain.

So, it looks like my attempts at not writing about this topic have been failing recently. I'll try harder.

Shitty deal. How the hell does that work? You should have grabbed the bass while there, although you are a nicer person than that, it would have been appropriate. The other way is to just send Andre there. Why Andre? He is disposable...

haha, okay i love reading your buddy's comments, Reid, you're amusing.

But man I'm sorry this had to take place, but you handled it maturely, so be proud. I think the new rule should be, don't have anything from the other person, nothing, keep possessions seperated until married or moved it, would make things way easier...I'm still trying to get back my green day cd and a book I like....and I'm not taking your advice and seeing him tonight, minus a dog's presence.

Good luck on your gig tonight!

The bass is going to be interesting, but I think he still needs it until some time in March. Maybe by then I will be able to see her without wanting to break down. Either that, or I'll time my visit so as not to see her at all.

It's hard not to accumulate things that belong to the other person over ~3 years, but the only thing of hers that I had were the keys (not including the gifts, cards, and pictures which are in a box hidden somewhere in my house).

Thanks for the comments guys - hope you have fun Sara.
