again: i don't want to bring this up.

i don't know why she's home all day. she could have cancer or something. no, really - i have no idea. all i know is that i can hear her up there - coughing - pretty much every day during normal school/work hours and that the smoke is correlated with him leaving.

so, i can still potentially assume he doesn't realize it. if that is the case, i want to wait for him to bring it up.

it's cold out. i have somewhere safe & warm. i'm focusing on suing the cops right now. this isn't going to be a serious issue for me until the spring at the earliest, and by then it might resolve itself.

i need to point something else out, though - it tends to get better when i complain about it, here. and, the other explanation that is consistent all around is that i'm not hearing a kid up there but a cop.
