Jan. 3rd, 2005 06:19 ami got to have a nice chat with son last night. i love that man. Their life together is going quite well and i think they have finally found their niche in the world. He was telling me about the planned remodel for the house already. Do the mud porch into an extension off the kitchen so the laundry can be upstairs, knock out a wall for a breakfast bar, and perhaps a second bath. They have just fenced in the back yard for puppy with vinyl fencing that looks very nice. 6' high. Don't know why they feel they need that much privacy unless Cheese is going to try to be a jumper. New downstairs carpet will wait until the dog is well-trained. i hope they aren't getting in over their heads. It seems to me they aer in a pretty good place for the time in their life. i remember where his dad and i were and there is no comparison. i love that man, my son.
Talked with Sairi too. The new year is starting out well for her too, with the exception of the ice storm. quiet for both her and Mother, but that is to be expected, i guess. There have been several changes in her life in the past year, and for the most part i think they have been good. She is getting out of the house at least 2 and often 3 times a week on her own. i wish the dances would provide some good friend for her, but friendship takes time. And she keeps plugging away at it. i am proud of her for that. i think the counseling is helping. i haven't heard anything from her as in a complaint about Mother or vice versa. Maybe i am living in a blinered world on that score. But if nobody tells me, i can't know.
It must be going to be a good day, today. There is the most wonderfull rosey hue from the sunrise. The sky is filled with stretched cotton ball clouds, which could indicate rain later in the day, but a few seconds ago, the color and the clouds worked together to make a beautiful sight. The sun rises so fast, that in just the time it took to type the above, it changed. i am pleased that i got to see it.
Master may or may not be home tonight. Emerson may or may not be ready to get out of the shop. We, reading Master, finally found a brand new carb for a 240, a car that has not been built since '85. Then the owner of the parts shop helped Him find a manifold. He took emerson into the shop yesterday on His way up north. For about 1/3 less than the cost of a new carb for the model emerson is, i think i am finally going to have the problem solved. i hope. The Holl(e)y carb Master found in the states never arrived. So now He can tell His daughter not to bother checking on it any more. i have the rental until tomorrow. Some minor logistical problems with trying to get one person and two cars back to the same place at the same time. i will know later if Master is going to be back. If He is, that problem can be easily solved. If not, a bit more thinking on it will be needed.
The red is gone, and now the sky is mostly gray.
i got my nursing finals all done yesterday. i hadn't planned on going back today, but i must, for a short time. Then i'm out of there, fingers crossed, for good. There is a meeting with the dean and us at AHS this morning at 11. i have a premonition that it will be cancelled because of the dean's response when we made the request...if there nothing else comes up on his calendar....that's sort of an administrative ensha'allah kind of cop out. i have visions of getting there and finding out he cancelled.
