I took the girls to Meadow Park alone this morning...again. It's actually fine for me, going alone. Ben just adds an element of stressfulness to everything. 

I started a new video game today that I'm not sure I like. I thought I'd love it, but it's just ok. And I kind of don't like going into the basement to play. For dinner, I met with Rachel at a Mexican restaurant on Bethel. It was fine, but not great. We had some decent conversation, but plenty of lulls where we just kind of sat there waiting for some new topic of conversation to come up. A homeless guy was waiting outside of the restaurant door when we came out and asked us for money, while following us through the dark parking lot. I did not appreciate it at all! First of all, don't try to intimidate me into giving you money. Second of all, you're drunk and being inappropriate. I was very close to lecturing him. He called me defensive and I was like, "You're damn right I'm defensive." Rachel gave him her leftovers. Who knows if he'll eat them or what, but I can't stand that kind of behavior. You know? If he wasn't just trying to intimidate or take advantage of women walking alone in the dark, he could have waited for a man to come out or asked us while we were still in the light, close to the restaurant. Being homeless is no excuse for acting like a crappy person.
