Okay, I'm tired of the country stats for now.
The new manager started today in the building. He seems to be more professional than this idiot woman Erika who thankfully has been banned to another property. I have a problem with unprofessional, unhelpful "managers". All this woman "managed" was her ego. The new guy seems great so far. I will have to go and say hello.
Shar complained to me about her 1 1/2 men. I continue to be skeptical about the 1/2 and neutral about the 1. But she's a big girl, we all are now. I've been thinking about my own life a lot in these regards and shall become active again, now that things are running smoothly in other areas.
I have no idea why Mom called twice in a row last weekend, it makes me worry about her mood. I know she misses me as I do her {and Dad too}, but it has to be at a critical point when she calls two days in a row and we stay on the phone for 3+ hours each. I think we all feel how things have shifted, how suddenly, I'm not as much of "their child" as I used to be, how we've all gotten older and in a way, are drifting "apart" more. I find it unsettling, and I think she picks up on it too. Dad doesn't seem to register it in the same way -- he just wants me to move back to Europe and be close. I think he wants to recreate the times when we all still lived that way, and most likely is in denial... While Mom has understood that it can never be as it was before. It's breaking my heart on both accounts... But something inside me says that this is the way it works, the way life goes. Children grow up and leave... Parents grow old... I wish I could express how much I appreciate them and what they've done for me.
