Partial update.

1) The window guy stopped back out to repair the window frames on my interior entry door. He'd actually forgotten about coming out yesterday, but I told him I was in no rush, so whenever he could get here was fine - he stopped this morning. He was here about 20 minutes or so, and when he told me he was done, I asked him how much I owed him. He said it was nothing & told me not to worry about it (maybe because he forgot about yesterday?) but I couldn't accept that; he was here & did the work (well, I might add!), so told him I wanted to pay him. I finally got him to accept $20. He told me to call him if I ever needed anything else repaired, and honestly, I wish I had something for him. I'll have to send other people his way if I hear of any.

2) The 'date' went fine. "Date' in quotes because it was never established whether it was one or just two people hanging out. She was nice enough, conversation was easy, but she was more than a few years older than me (I inferred), and there was no chemistry at all on my end. Disappointing, but not unexpected, as I had a feeling that would be the case initially. Still, meeting new people, getting some practice in, it's a good thing, even if I did end up a bit bummed out afterwards. Not sure whether she'll keep putting in the effort to connect, as I couldn't tell how she felt, or if she noticed how I felt. If she's still into me, I'll have to figure out how to communicate that nicely but directly. I've always dreaded that part...

3) The company who ground the stump down last week will be here on Monday to remove the sawdust/wood chips & repair the soil. I imagine they'll be here the same time as the chimney company, so I hope that's not an issue!
