Things and lots and lots and things
I know I haven't said much guys lol sorry about that. I do go through periods of time where I"m just quiet. I know I don't seem it but I'm an introvert who learned how to act extroverted ages ago and while I still love to talk to people, I also know how much of a toll it can take on me if I DONT take secluded breaks and recharge my social batteries.
For that matter I haven't really had much to write. We had some people who were talking about being tenants and they were going to come up last week to see the place but they messaged me to let me know that thier finances didn't allow it and they'd have to wait for Feb. I was somewhat wary after that but told them that though I wouldn't hold the apartment for them, they were welcome to come up if I still hadn't rented it to them by then. I was really disappointed. On paper they'd seemed to be the perfect older couple tenants but I really also can't wait around till next month only to hear "we've overextended ourselves" that month again and wait around another...
Anyway we're friends so it's probably better I not rent to them. Though they're still an option if things go south. Anyway last night my mother called me. She was over at the preacher's house and his wife, Angela, had a woman they wanted us to rent to, with promises that she spoke for the woman and if S(name redacted) couldn't pay her rent, the parsonage would pay it till she could, but that she needed a place to go with people who wouldnt treat her badly. I dont think I've ever said no to Angela; I like her, and I don't say that often about religious folk. I hate to admit it but I judge any person who strongly follows any religion very harshly. We all have our prejudices. That's mine. Anyway Angela's still pretty awesome as is her husband. If I ever wanted to go back to church I'd go specifically because of them. I know you guys dont know me but that's a powerful statement to make given how much anxiety and general bad will I hold toward organized religion.
So like in about an hour they're supposed to come over and view the apartment and from what angela said she's got 3 kids which might be a tight squeeze. I dunno. We'll see. if One of them is fine with sharing a room or something it'll be fine. I think. Or if she gives 2 of the kids the master bedroom that'd work. BUT The kids right now are staying with someone else so I dunno if they're even going to move back in. I mean angela knows how big the apartment is, and that it's a 3 bedroom so I'm assuming they've already taken that into account.
Anyway when Samantha gets here I'll let her know that we need someone who isnt going to move right back out again. And Ive still got to get a lease up though I'm pretty sure sherryl will let me use his. It was a pretty good airtight one.
Ummmm
Jon leaves tomorrow to go see his dad. I know i touched on that last night but I'm very sad. I Knoooow it's going to be good for us and blablabla, but seriously I just I really don't want him to go. I want there to be a freak blizzard that keeps the planes grounded. I want that so bad.
Jon's like the only person I feel that way about that's still around me. I love him to death and I hate the thought of being in this house all alone. But ti's just a short time. We'll endure. And hopefully he'll have a lot of fun with his dad.
Um. Ummm.
Ummmmmmmm.
We got 2 new goldfish. well, Koi. but we want them to get big because jon wants to make a koi pond outside in like a year so. They're gorgeous fish. But dumb. One got trapped under some java moss and we thought he was dead. he's fine, just dumb. We named that one after our dumb-pit bull and the other one is small and scrappy so we named it after our other dog. So Dahlia and Oswald now have Dahli-tee and Mer-Wald.
Ummmm
I had to have a talk with maddy about trash-talking during video games. I told her she cant' keep telling people they're horrible at sonic (especially her mother) because that's unkind and it's important to encourage the people that she loves not discourage. She seemed to get it. Which was good because It's bad enough that she beats me at sonic, I just refuse to be told how much I suck by an eight year old.
I guess that's it. I think that's everything. I'm all caught up. Wheee. I'll let you guys know how the whole tenancy goes.
