Sounds like fun Gayle!
I went to the concert, and had a wonderful time. The chorus teacher sang a tribute song to the graduating seniors. She wrote it, and sang about each of the seniors. Mackenzie and I had tears in our eyes, as did several of the seniors. I love a small school!!!
Then Kass told me that she had a soccer game today, Mackenzie wants to sleep over on the weekend, and Brandon and Kass wanted me to come home with them. It is great to feel loved!!! I have a very strong need to have my own life, apart from anyone in particular. I need to keep boundaries, or I feel so claustrophobic. I think I was just born this way, needing tons of freedom.
I realized last night that they all get it, and love me so much anyway. Isn't that wonderful? I think to be loved for just who you are, faults and strengths is the greatest gift!
Then, Richie, the head of maintenance here, came over to see my leak. He'll re-tar around the skylight for me. It will probably have to be replaced in a year or two, and I have to pay for that. He is also making a window fitting for Wendy's air conditioner (she is the manager), so he's going to make one for me, and fix the window that is broken. We have casement windows and can only use portable air conditioners. When I asked him how much he wants for the work, he just waved his hand. I only have to pay him back for the Plexiglas. So, I still don't know what exactly is covered, but, at the moment I am happy. Word around here is that some people get lots of things done for them, and some people get nothing extra done. Good that I'm in the first group! I did write a letter to the Board re my steps and the snow and ice situation. I did, however, add in that I was not complaining about Wendy or our maintenance staff, who have been nothing but helpful whenever I asked. I do want to know about liability with the steps, and that might kick the Board's butt into some action!
