An Alexander in very late August


On the penultimate day of this August an Alexander appeared. I was awaiting his decision since early in August, but he and I had not anticipated one another actually until today. So just exactly how do we anticipate those whom we have never met? That must involve some projecting?

Anyway now there are four tenant students, three seniors and one sophomore approaching our home for the Winter/Spring 2009-2010 term at MMA - and I feel more complete!

Originally it seemed I might want to rent only three bedrooms, but I kept going back and fourth. Did I want the extra rent money more or the additional room upstairs more? The extra income seemed like the right path, but an appropriate tenant was not appearing until today, and Alexander is the choice. We have two young men and two young women and that works pretty well. There. Complete.

We now have no rooms available, and that is something new and different from yesterday in late August. Maybe a sub-theme of August was "getting the place rented"?

Full houses work for me. Four Kings, Four Queens if you count the cat and the dog, girl boy, girl boy. Actually August brings four full houses - and no need for folding, laundry that is, as late August means no more Summer People and linens to fold. I like this. The house and I are smiling.
