2 trains passing in the night

Today started off bad.  I managed to wake up and go to the gym and do my workout.  Upon arriving there were loads of police cars and the entrance was blocked off.  Some idiot apparently assulted a police officer.  I arrive home, go in the house and get ready for work.  45 minutes later I walk out and notice I had left my car running the entire time (yes, it's a quiet car), but I still felt stupid.

Ive been receiving texts from a old flame who can't seem to stop texting me.  I won't hear from him for weeks and then Ill get a text from him.  We never quite could get our relationship together.  He now just moved to the city I just moved from and I moved to the city he just moved from.   He said he moved there to be closer to me (however he actually works there), I think its just a way to make me feel bad.  

I wrestle with the decision I made. Ive listened to multiple tarot card readings trying to justify my decision.  They always say-you will be reunited with a Fire sign.  I am fighting for this not to happen.  I have strong feelings for him but I made the practical and wise decision to be in my current situation.  But, still the ex keeps texting me and why do I allow it?  Is it because I can't let go?  I am commited for a year and wander should I just block the number for my own good?  Otherwise, I am tormented.
