Tea Soda! But first I need to rant…

Even though I spent the whole day in the living room (not that unusual), I felt like I was holed up somewhere, under bed covers, avoiding the world. I don’t know why; but I just felt sad. All day. And Tre didn’t help; he’s gotten himself into this really, really weird situation. And frankly, I have no right to be mad at him over it – I just found it really irritating today, and I wanted to be alone.

Basically here’s what’s going down in the life of Tre:

His stupid friend Adam introduced him to a girl named Ally/Allie/Aly/I don’t really know how it’s spelled and he’s infatuated; and I honestly am really, really happy for him. He deserves to finally find someone to be happy with; but it’s a weird situation. He found out after like their second date or something that she’s best friends with our landlord’s eighteen year old daughter Maria. And, through this girl, he’s even hung out with her. I’m not totally sure why I find that so odd; Maria’s 18 and he’s 21 – that’s not a huge age difference. And it’s not even like she’s the one he’s interested in (that would DEFINITELY be crossing a line). I just have this gut feeling that if Rob, my landlord, found out about it that, despite how much he likes Tre and I, he wouldn’t be happy with them spending time together. And I guess maybe to some extent I still view Maria as a very immature child. She might not be living above us now but she used to and I can’t deny that we witnessed/overheard some incredibly childish behavior from her. Not to mention she used to throw house parties when her Dad was out of town (that he encouraged us to quietly ‘chaperone’) and maybe because I still view Maria as very childish I’m viewing her friend as childish, and kind of get the impression Tre’s taking advantage of her to some extent? Even if maybe he’s not.

Regardless, the whole thing makes me uncomfortable.

And then last night… Ugh, last night!

He left the house at one in the fucking morning to go out for a walk with this girl; whatever, I can get over that. Not any of my business no matter how uncomfortable I feel. However, I had work in the morning at 9AM so I made sure to tell him to be quiet coming back in because I needed to sleep. When does he get back? 5:30AM! And she’s with him. They woke me up getting in – though I pretended to be asleep because I really didn’t want a confrontation or anything. That’s a ridiculous time to get back – especially after what I said before he left. The cherry on top was that this girl, who I’m pretty sure isn’t older than 18, was clearly drunk. 18 is underage here in Saskatchewan; and I know underage drinking happens – hell I drank underage, but I’m not comfortable with that going on here at the house. We’ve always been very good tenants; no parties, very minimal drinking at home, and with her being a friend of my landlord’s daughter I just have an especially bad feeling about this. She spent like an hour in our bathroom throwing up – which I pretended to sleep through but just couldn’t.

They finally went to bed at like eight or nine in the morning? When I should have been getting up to get ready for work. Except I’d barely slept at all and felt like shit so I called in sick. I finally fell asleep at about 11AM, and I expected when I woke up that she’d be gone – but nope instead they spent the entire day here. And again, I kind of feel like I’m just being a super bitch without much of a right to complain because he can see whoever he wants to but I just really, really felt bad today and I wanted to be on my own. They left, to go to the mall(!?), at 11PM to meet up with one of this girls friends. And I’m thankful they’re gone now but what the hell!? There’s no mall in the city open that late! This whole thing just seems… Juvenile. And I have a bad feeling.

So there’s my rant for the week; anyone who actually made it through all of that and has any advice to offer would be appreciated – I don’t know if I’m out of line being upset by this. Regardless, I just had to voice it to someone, even if that’s just here on Steepster to inevitably be ignored.

As for the tea soda – it was like my only moment of ‘escape’ today. For a brief half hour I got to curl up and watch some Netflix and sip on this super creamy, kind of tropical tea concoction that made me feel like I was somewhere (anywhere) else. The mellow, sweet coconut and apricot notes ended up very well suited for a tea soda format. Fruity, but different…
