Wish me luck

Wish me luck. I'm working from home today and have no sitter so I have to pick my kids up at the bus stop. This is where XBBF and I first started talking and where I believe he trolls for other moms in the neighborhood. I considered asking my neighbor to walk my kids up but I
don't want him to think I'm avoiding anything because of him. This was MY neighborhood long before it was his and I will not let him think he's getting the best of me. My plan is to go down early so that by the time he arrives hopefully he'll have the decency to stay far away. In any case, I am going to imagine myself in a bubble in which he doesn't exist and to ignore, ignore, ignore. It might not sound like a big deal but I'm already nervous about this and I still have more than an hour before I have to be down there. I feel like I have to do this because I do not want to have to be scared to walk out and around my neighborhood. I have to show him, at least in appearance on the surface, that he is not affecting me. I am going to pretend as if he doesn't exist.
