I am sensitive to my living environment and it takes me time to get used to changes in it. My notorious housemate has returned and although she hasn't done anything outrageous yet, just having another person in the house is taking some getting used to. She is someone who makes her presence felt. Markers of presence, such as the extra-large wine glass in the dishes rack and her stack of booze on the kitchen counter remind of the time before we went into lockdown, and it is not a time that I want to go back to. It just me struck that my easy experience of a lockdown had a lot to do with living in a house that was not full and with this housemate in particular being away.With her back, it might be much more difficult to cope. There is no way to spin this positively. Well, one learns to cope when one has no other option. She has as much right to be here as me and working from anywhere else is not an option for me. I am going to be much less tolerant of her shenanigans this time though.
