Turns out those fire alarms were because a homeless man broke into my building and started a fire! Fortunately no one was hurt and the fire department responded lightning fast.
The ex and I caught up with all the bad news over soup and people are texting him and me about it every hour because they're glued to the news and getting pissed off and a little carried away with their anti-Russian sentiment, as if Russian civilians have any say in this, any more than we had control over Trump. My ex is super chill about it all but I'm glad everyone's being so supportive.
An old friend texted the sweetest things out of the blue because she found some of my old letters and thanked me for the love I've always shown and for always making her smile. I feel the same about her. It was a really welcome sentiment after all the heartbreaking war news and after a long sleepless night.. She's a keeper.
