Yes, one and the same. Our house is currently occupied by her best friend (for many years now) and more recently her boyfriend (several months now) and 3 days ago a close friend from high school came to crash for a week or so (he's on the couch cuz I'm out of beds!) then yesterday the cousin of The Boy spent the night (came to hang for a couple hours!) and today she's still here accompanied by her boyfriend.

The house bursting at the seams after a stressful work day and the nonchalant "whatever" in response to their lack of communication (forget permission, just give me a heads-up) just struck me wrong.

So, yeah, two of the masses left. One more of the masses will be gone next week. Then I'm left with 2 non-blood related roommates on top of my nuclear family, and that's still too many. They don't do home improvement projects but one pays rent and the other does dishes, takes out the trash, and yard work. If they didn't contribute I'd really blow a gasket.

My Couchies get me. That's really something to be glad of. Thanks for allowing me to unload and be bratty myself.
