jdmkleinBusy busy busy all day today. Master and the electrician for the complex put in a new phone line for the computers. i don't want to say anything to jinx it, but it _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ok. Apparently both computers on the old, bent, twisted and spliced and couldn't handle the traffic. So Master ranted and raved and finally got the electrician up to help Him with the line. Took the better part of five hours. But it's done. Master gave the guy 5 dinars for the work. The man didn't want to take the money but Master told him, that it was nice to have someone listen to what He wanted, and do it the way He wanted, so that it was done according to specs (Master is an electrician, among other hats) and that He appreciated the hard work. So the man took the money. This should go a long way to getting other phone line work done whenever/if ever we need it again.
Daughter went for the finance meeting yesterday for the apartment. She should know in a couple of weeks whether she gets it or not. i hope she and grammy don't have the mother of all wars. Mother tries, i know she tries, god she can be so trying at times, but she can't help herself. She treats daughter as if she were 'handicapped' instead of blind. Daughter has been out on her own for oh the last 13 years. She can live independently. It's just now she needs a little grounding. Mother wants her to be handicapped. That didn't come out right. i know what i mean. Daughter is not allowing it. Mother is old, and crotchety. Daughter is young and independent. Those two personalities make for odd housemates.
Fortunately for Daughter, she has an uncle she can visit who is not that much older than she is. She spends weekends with Uncle and is rested and recouperated enought to go back and live with Mother. Mother sits in her chair and sleeps weekends and gets rested to deal with a non-handicapped blind grandaughter. So goes the world. While i, mother to one and daughter to the other feel absolutely useless as both parent and child.
Master is planning to go back to the States in May. He just mentioned this last night. Not very much time for me to get accustomed to the idea. i hate it when He goes back. It's all well and good for me to go back for a few weeks in the summer, but i hate it when He does it. He will be gone for a month. The main thing that bothers me about this is that i can't handle the dog. He and i have issues with each other. And it will mean i have to take him for a run in the desert by myself. i can't take him for a citty run because that is a two people job. i will deal with it. i always deal with it. i'll rant in my journal but i'll deal with it. On the other hand, i can sleep in the bed while He's gone.
