dragonyphoenixAround 9:15 I noticed that skunk scent that means the roommies are getting stoned again. This is the first time, since Kat asked them to not smoke in the house, that I've noticed the smell when Tim, Sue's husband, was home. Apparently they'd been smoking in the room and opened the door to get to the bathroom which is what sent the smoke wafting down here.
I took the dog for a walk and on the way back noticed they'd opened a window. A few nights ago I suggested it would be okay if they smoked as long as they opened windows to vent it outside. This means either they opened the window after I took Emma out or the two of them are smoking so much that even with a window open it filled the room enough that opening the door was enough to send some wafting down the hall (length of a bedroom).
Kat acted oddly when I returned with the dog. She asked what was wrong and then said she'd heard me coughing. When I replied that I hadn't been, she said I'd been really snippy lately. This whole situation, where she has been mainly minimizing Sue's pot use, flashed through my mind and I thought "because you're not on my side" but I didn't say anything. I don't believe discussing this with her will change the situation so I told her I wasn't upset. She replied "go ahead and cough then" and returned to her study. I repeated that I hadn't been coughing.
I'm not sure if she figured out, after I'd left, that I'd taken Emma out to avoid the pot smoke. If she did, that may suggest the window had been opened while I was out. I don't know if the conversation makes sense otherwise.
I have reason to be upset. There's not only the pot smoke, which could lose me my job if I come up positive on a drug test, but my car has been overheating (taking it to the shop tomorrow) and if I don't find a roommate I'll be struggling to afford this apartment. It's possible some of that has come through although I thought we'd had a pleasant evening up until then.
*sigh* 26 days and counting

Date: 2017-06-07 02:59 am (UTC)They've been living with Kat for years. They're planning to move to Michigan as I take over this place and they're having trouble finding an apartment there. Kat's worried about the. So, yes, I think she feels maternal towards them. Also, Kat is overwhelmed with work. The hours she puts in are ridiculous. So she's reacting from a place of stress. And this isn't Kat's fight. She doesn't want to be between the two of us but I won't go to Sue directly. I figured she wouldn't care that I needed a drug-free space. Given that she didn't move the drugs out of the house when Kat asked her too (Kat described it as issues with the landlady), it does seem likely that Sue wouldn't have moved drugs out of the house just for me. Kat's been basically supporting Sue and Tim for years.

Date: 2017-06-07 03:40 am (UTC)While there has been smoke, it's been more like a whiff that dissipates fairly quickly. They actually are being more discrete. I'm concerned because if I"m smelling it, I'm inhaling it and I don't know how much is too much.
