Going Well by Susan L.

  The ceiling and trim at the centre are finished with two coats of paint. I stayed late last night, only a couple of hours, because I worked and was on my own so working on the front room was not an option. Hopefully it will be possible to start on the walls today then finish off tomorrow and it will be done.
  Despite the aches it creates in my neck, knuckles and knees, it's a job I thoroughly enjoy doing. It helps too that I am in better shape after the big build.
  The centre is finally getting new doors at the back and front. Last winter we had to hang a blanket over the ancient wood door at the back to stop the bitter, icy wind from whistling in. The double metal front door also has built in air conditioning because the bottoms are nearly rusted through. We've been trying to have that done for a few years now to no avail. It'll sure help the heating bill!
  The landlord had someone paint all the outside trim around the windows, another task that was badly needed. It'd be nice if he'd paint the entire building especially since there are patches where the paint is peeling but we'll see. (Lord, I am sending a request Your way.)
  We've maintained a small patch of garden out front which will get some tweaking next spring. It's nice to have a bit of colour. The landlord's handy man cleaned up all the shrubbery and weeds from around the place and took out the small jungle that was growing in the eaves trough.
  What with the new paint, the new doors, the Krasman Centre will look a whole lot more inviting. I'm glad because I am sure the building's exterior appearance was off-putting. So many people are surprised to find the interior so nice once they came inside.
  All we need now is a new sign. Again, a job I would enjoy doing.
