An Intruder 5
But I wanted to be sure so I called my next door neighbor-
Not really a friend, but whose advice I entertain from time to time.
'Look, ' she said, 'there are plenty better things to worry about-

'Maybe I shouldn't fret it.'
'I didn't say THAT. Just choose your obsessions carefully

Like someone who admitted they needed instruction.
