Going Solo: Gen. 1.13

With age comes wisdom and regret. Or at least that's how it is for Matt. Now that he has reached elder status and facing his mortality, he is rethinking his life. That thought process seems to be directed at his daughter. Kerri was getting to know her father finally and I was happy for that. He would come over just to hang out, or help her with her homework even though she really didn't need it.

The biggest thing was he taught her to drive. I was going to send her to one of those schools, but he said he wanted to do it. He was patient with her and she passed with flying colors.

He bought her a car to celebrate her accomplishment. Lenny was spending the night at my house more often and I didn't mind, but I did wonder why. I talked to Kerri about it to make sure she was ok with it, and she said she didn't really care.

He did come over late one night and was very upset. He told me that he was having financial problems and was being evicted from his apartment. I told him not to worry, and that he could stay with me until he got back on his feet. I did ask why he didn't go to Deidre, and he said they broke up. I wanted to push and find out why he was so in debt, but I figured that conversation could wait until a later time. I knew he was still working so hopefully he would be able to get things straightened out with his finances soon.

The summer festival was in town and Kerri and I made plans to go as usual. Lenny was going to stay home, he didn't want to intrude, but Kerri invited him to join us. We had fun, took pictures and Kerri won a hotdog eating contest.

Afterwards she started to not feel so well, so Lenny took her home and I headed over to the tattoo parlor. I don't know why I felt I needed to get body ink at my age, but it was a feeling that lingered with me since I aged up.

I didn't want anything too crazy, so settled for two intertwining roses to symbolize Kerri and I. I was very happy with the results.

***Ok first YAY Ansley finally is at level 9 of the charisma skill. Honestly that fast learner LTR SUCKS!!! Her progress bar moves at a snails pace, it's crazy.

Also I know it's against the 'rules' to have Lenny in the house, but since we are nearing the end of Ansley's gen I thought it would be fun for the story. She has been nursing wants to date him and get married (not to him just in general). He's not a roommate because I like to have more control LOL, but I don't control him much. He does his own thing most of the time. He really was having money trouble according to SP he was in debt and when I clicked on his house he had 0 in household funds. Guess those cats ate him out of house and home LOL.***
