A Splash of Color

Hello Everyone.

It is long past time for an update from me. I don't have a lot to say as work has been crazy insane. Lots of overtime money. ALL of that is going towards my next trip out of the country. Be planning that there barbeque dearest. I think that they have 7 people that they are in the process of interviewing and such things so maybe I'll get a few days off here soon.

I am actually getting the apartment into a state of order that is livable. I attacked the front bushes until my hands ached and were bleeding in places from the nasty branches. There is a path through the disaster in my frontroom. I even have a bunch of things to put on the walls now. Some of them I even know where I want to put them! Heh. Now to find my scroll blanks.

I should be at my grandfathers birthday party today. Part of me REALLY wants to be there, and part of me is glad I did not go....Because at his birthday party he either had a stroke or a TIA or something that looks like those things. He fell down a whole bunch of times, generalized weakness (not sure of a sidedness on it), his face was twitching and he can't/won't talk. Oy.

Gotta love call offs....I have to go in at 2am. Well...I don't have to, but I'm a nice person and do not think that Marsha should have to work a double.

Got quite a bit accomplished in the apartment today. Sealed the bathtub so that it won't leak into Kate's bathroom, moved more furniture, cleaned the floor (AGAIN), unloaded 2 boxes, attempted sealing the floor (it worked okay)...

Kill me now?

I talked to the landlord of the place next door again today. He thanked me for of all things "being a pest" about the apartment. It's true though, I do not give up easily on things that I want. Now I have been a pest but it seems the man is not going to do anything for the apartment unless I pester him. It's not the best of apartments but I really like it.

Supposedly he is coming to Bloomington tomarrow and he is going to talk to me about the terms of the lease. That means I could potentially move in in June or July. It depends on how quickly I can get stuff done in it. He's going to credit my rent for the work I do in the place.

September absolutely cannot come soon enough.
