Nick left a short time ago. Today he painted a scarred section of the bathtub with some kind of porcelain restoring stuff.

He thought it was “good, Pisces thinking” that I didn’t shower last night in the newly painted bathroom. He believes together we can maintain this place in fine operating condition, keep costs low and thereby not get any rent increases, We will be wonderful partners in this brave world of apartment living.

We also spent a tad longer than my patience would generally allow on the exact placement of the shower knob to stop it’s dripping. We got into the shower together and analyzed the angles and felt the rhythm of the knob correctly placed.

I assured him I would practice good knob placement, as well as monitor the dripping situation for any needed intervention. Again we discussed as to how these missions were my own, since M. apparently has higher brain functioning and is exempt.

The brightside (or the dark and lonely since whatever will I do without his visits?) is that he says we are quite near completion of his daily interruptions.
