Today's post is a quick one.
Lately, I've been chatting a lot with RQS, and she's enjoying my mouth run as if it is Niagara Falls. This is a good sign, as she knows about my life as Marian and is intrigued about it. So I tend to budget time for these phone calls towards the end of the evening, so that I can get other things done....
Tonight, I had to rush home to make it to a Zoom Webinar to train us in the specifics of Fair Housing Laws that co-op boards must obey in Westchester county. As expected, they covered the limitations put up on co-op boards to insure that every possible tenant has a fair opportunity to rent/sublet/buy an apartment in Westchester. Unfortunately, they provide too much protection for the tenant, and not enough for the property owner. And that is a major annoyance to most of the co-op boards in this state.
When the meeting ended, I got on the line with RQS, and chatted for the better part of 2 hours. This reminds me of the early days of dating my late wife. It's not love yet. And it's not at the state where I think about her every day. But it's a good start.
But why did I mention my checklist?
Most of the time, I have a 20 item checklist, and only do about 1/3 of those items. Today, I broke the 50% level, and had enough time to start filling out an application for employment with New York State. Assuming that I get the job, I expect that I'll be in the workforce for another 2 years or so. But I will need time to take a Hawaii cruise at year end - and I won't cancel that to work for the state.
I plan to add this application to tomorrow's checklist, as I don't plan on finishing the application tonight. Many things stay on the checklist in one form or another, as I neither complete them, nor get movement towards completing them. Yet, there's one task that I must give a higher priority - cleaning the apartment. Not only do I need my cleaning lady back doing her magic, but I want this place clean enough to have people over again.
Keep your fingers crossed for me....
