Ch-ch-ch-changes

Veronica arrived on time this morning. I had written out all instructions and details just in case she showed up late, because I must get to work on time. I reviewed all the [now seemingly] unnecessary paperwork with her, introduced her to Gilly still deep asleep and dashed out the door. I organized every minor detail, except forgot to mention that a gentleman was scheduled to arrive at 1:00 to treat Gilly’s feet, and I neglected to leave the cash payment. I received a call from Gilly during my seminar, quite a coherent one, I might add, informing me of my error. Thankfully, Yaron was at home and had the $ for the fellow, or I would have had to drive to Montreal North to give it to him. Oops! Not so serious, but a royal pain.

On the way in to the college I received a call from Denise explaining that Margaret is not available this week. She said she’d find someone else for this week. More writing down instructions; I will not be home long enough to give Elizabeth the rundown at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Coordinating Gilly’s affairs is very complicated! It’s a good thing I saved today’s paperwork. I can probably re-use some of it.

Gilly is none the worse for wear, but I am a basket case. I will go to bed with my books sooner than later to try to organize my materials for the next couple of days and fall fast asleep without delay…oh never mind that idea. I have to stay up to administer the Temodal. Yaron has hockey.

I did not have the same good feeling about Veronica as with Margaret. I wonder how Elizabeth will rate. Veronica dislikes dogs, and showed some fear. If she’s afraid of Liylah, she’s really scared because Liylah is a gentle giant. I understand, because I myself grew up with a fear of dogs, but Liylah is part of this family, so she must be contended with. She’s allergic to smoke, and Gilly indulges now and again in the garage (what can I say? He has so few pleasures…). I’d want her close by, but she cannot be near the smoke. It may take awhile before the right characters are chosen, and the role may change over time; it’s hard to say how soon, at what speed, and in what direction.

Yam just called and he’s on his way over to complete the railing installation. Things are cooking with steam on that front.
