Dare I even start?

So I've been MIA for the last while for a few reasons...

One...Trevor has been gone for the last 6 weeks. M-F all day! Then comes home and does homework...and then leaves again.  UGH!  I know.  Today is his very last day...and he is about an hour away from being home!!! With him being gone I had hoped to accomplish much much more.  But I'll say that I have been pushed beyond my limits and succeeded!  Which, if you think about it optimistically, I ran a marathon and didn't even condition! :)  Awesome!  I realized how much I really relied on Trevor to get things done here, and with him gone, I had to bother myself to get things done.  I've learned a great lesson on how annoying it can be to have a million and one things to do, when you are still trying to do the last million and one things!  Sorry Trev!

Second...well, I think the first one really sums it up! :)  Plus I am done thinking.  I have had an awesome 6 week break from Trevor and am really glad its mostly over.  Now he has a few more days of the semester and he is done for 7 whole weeks!!! How fabulous huh!? I've been able to strengthen friendships and family relationships.  I've learned how to ask for help and when to take up offers (which I think surprised a few people when they offered).  I've learned that being a single mom is a dreadful road and makes me appreciate single moms/dad even more!  I've learned how to be more patient and how to be a better multi-tasker.  :) I am overall grateful for the strengthening experience, even though I am crossing to long toes and fingers, and arms that I don't have to do it again. ever. ever!

I have had a really long week here and TGIF! :) I love making friends, or I guess acquaintances since I'm a hermit, but when I think I've made a new smile buddy, and then it goes the opposite...its kind of disappointing.  I feel like about 95% of the tenants here get along well with me.  I can have a quick chat with them, ask them about their life and we can be on our merry way.  But then there is the 5% who I wish I could like.  Well, to be honest, no I don't.  It just dawned on me, its ok to not be liked by everyone cause it helps me know what I can work on...but its just disappointing when people are ignorant and not understanding.  I think I've vented to Trevor enough that I don't need to go into details, but lets just say, if tenants had trees that they had to clean up, one tenant would have a wad of toilet paper wrapped around every inch!  If only.  I look forward to some tenants moving and sometimes wish I could make them move. So I'm human? Ugh, how grueling!

Are you still reading this? Well, I think I am done.  I might just start a new post with some warm fuzzy's included.  Stay tuned!
