  Winter fest at Nordic hall.   We sang in the morning.  It was hard because of all the noise.   Reminder to get a new recycle bind, and to update the insides of the toilet.  The women's choir sang first.  I drafted a new lease for a house rental. The plan is to sell in a couple of years.

  More frustrations.  What kind of breaks the drainage pipe fills it back in behind the forms and thinks it is ok .  They made a mistake and demolished part of a good wall with rebar until I stopped them.  Their idea of fixing it was to bend and cut the rebar out and put a form up on one side with dirt falling onto the inside.  I had to explain why was wrong here.

 Third day of massage school.  He mentioned that men's hips are higher than child bearing bodies.  I was able to  experience this interesting fact at the dance. When dancing with women, I sometimes place my hand on their hips.  When I dance with people who have non child bearing bodies, or men, I could tell, yes this is a man's body. They may identify them as something else, but really there are some differences.  I also notice that men sweat more than women.  Not always but usually.  I was able to get most of the bathroom done at the apartment. I was under the impression that  I sent an email that she should come wednesday, but i did't so i meet her on Thursday.    It was  unusual that fumiko wanted to go dancing. She had a good time. There was live music and some drinks, when she wasn't dancing.

It was the first day of massage school  A lot of talk about the practice and how the program will proceed. I  have all my books, and I am ready to start studying.  Start on the demolition of the old wall.  I am not sure why they did  out from behind prior to demo.  Also, looking at the x,  this is a wall that stays, I hope they don't knock it down.  Rental screening criteria.  I developed this and posted as a picture on the internet adds.

Singing at choir practice, and then to Century ballroom.  A good way to end the day . I posted the apartments for rent.  I had an interesting family come visit.  They were from a middle eastern country.  I was a bit skeptical of renting to them.  I met them and they seem very hard working and dependable.  I still told them they needed a co signer, as they were here on a temporary visa.   I also figured out how to accept applications again, and to put new postings on various rental websites.  I went and fixed a faucet that a tenant called me directly to fix.  There was not response from the property manager.   Missing in action once again.    I did successfully talk to a nice woman about renting this apartment.  She was wanting to make sure everything was finished prior to committing.  It will be finished this month and rented.
