DAG> Ah, the alternating tribulation. ;)
Yup... ;)

After all, life tends to be somewhat repetitious, or at least cyclic... ;)

Yeah, that was a bad scene all around...

Proximity would certainly make things easier, for sure.. :) Anything
come of those yet...?
DAG> Anyway about that emergency escape route bit... It probably sounds a

DAG> to stay off of the street, as well. So I'm basically planning to

Hopefully things can work out at your end, and you won't need to make
the emergency escape...
DAG> No hours in sight till December-February on the contract
DAG> work, either. As it stands right now I actually don't even have enough
DAG> to cover rent & utilities at the end of this month. Things have not
DAG> gone very well.
Ouch.
DAG>> I was finally able to re-find my son's phone now, too. Which

NB>> But that's very good... ;)
DAG> Yeah it should help him get out for things like basketball practice
DAG> on the days that I don't do it with him. That's really about all he
DAG> gets out for right now, there's just not enough other regular kids
DAG> around to be able to give him much of an incentive to want to roam and
DAG> do his free range thing.
At least he has a friend now... :)
NB>> Friends are a good thing... ;) Probably would save some money on the
NB>> phone if they were spending more time physically together... ;) I
NB>> suspect the kids wouldn't even notice if things were messy in the
NB>> apartment...
DAG> I don't think they care, but the other kid's mother has a habit of
DAG> coming in and wanting to talk and stuff. Kind of makes me pretty
DAG> ashamed of the quarters we're living in, but what can I really do?
DAG> Three people, three _lives_ worth of stuff all packed into a 1 bedroom
DAG> apartment tends to make it a bit difficult to keep up.
Maybe she doesn't mind about it either... My house has been a real mess
for ages now... I just tell people that if they want to see me, that's
fine, but if they are going to be fussed about the house, not to
bother.. ;) Some years ago, I was apologizing to the mother of one of
my piano students about the mess, and she, quite graciously, reminded me
that the important thing to her was that I was teaching her kids piano,
not my housekeeping... ;)
DAG> I've got a whirlwind planned for sometime this weekend in order to
DAG> try to make it a bit farther through some of the cleaning tasks and
DAG> everything, but it needs to be when I can focus a day on that and that
DAG> alone. I think one day this weekend will probably be filled with that.
And, did it accomplish...? ;)
ttyl neb
... Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow.
