We have a tour scheduled for Monday morning! Woot!
We are not feeling super optimistic about scheduling courses, because of spring break at Fusion Academy. Boo. And also, come on, this went so fast there really did have to be some kind of a speed bump eventually.
I got a call from Neuro Logic. The EEG was completely normal. Because A. had the involuntary hand movement during the EEG, we can completely halt all further EEGs; there’s no point in continuing. Yay, no MRI! Boo, hiss, the absolutely annoyingly imprecise nature of dealing with physical symptoms of psychological stress. Oh well. At least we were already pursuing a change in school placement; feels extremely justified now. We’ll check back in with Neuro Logic in a couple months and let them know how things are going.
I have now officially notified A’s school that we are pulling her out in favor of Fusion.
It’s super unclear what the timeline is right now. I mean, we have the tour Monday. And after spring break at Fusion is over, I guess we’ll have some number of classes that is hopefully greater than 0 at Fusion. But in the meantime, not sure what we are doing. So today, we packaged up everything that belongs to the Old School, and figured out what backpack A. would use for the new school (the same backpack, but we got out a vacuum and got rid of all the weird grit that builds up in bags over time).
In Construction World (remember, there’s like a Whole Other Arc Going On!), I got an email from the electricity provider! So I made an appointment at the bank with the notary. R. had already left to go to the Subaru dealership. While shopping for a car for T., R. experienced a CrossTrek and decided that he really wanted it. I’ve canceled the Sirius subscription on the i3, and we’re gonna trade that one in for the CrossTrek. Very exciting; I’m hoping we can ultimately get rid of the Honda Odyssey. The improved range and Adventure characteristics of the CrossTrek should fully replace the van. However, we want to have the increased passenger capacity for a road trip in April and possibly for another road trip in August (I’m pushing hard to make adjustments to the August trip, and trade in the van for the car for T., but R. has a couple months to think about that).
See how I snuck in the whole car nonsense in the middle of construction world.
Anyway. We’re finally going to get the full service at the house we are building! Very exciting! The email did not initially go to the lawyer, so I sent it along, and then called him. He confirmed my basic reading of it (this is stupid and unnecessary, and also, I can see why they want something clearly spelling out their rights because fuck what a lot of nonsense you have to go through to walk everyone through what you clearly have) and that I could safely sign it (in front of a notary). We overnighted it; fingers crossed.
I nagged the architect about a bill that he needed to authorize; he’s going to visit the site and get back to us.
I talked to the builder, and the builder is in a good mood, and, as happens to me at intervals, somewhat jokingly offered me a job as an MEP coordinator (NO!). I asked him about the status of well #3, which was hung up at conservation commission, and he’s going to get back to me.
I think I actually get to have a quiet day tomorrow? Goddess I hope so. Monday’s gonna be a bear. A. and I have the tour. I have the meeting with the BMS provider, the PV / battery / generator provider, the HVAC guy, the electrician, the architect and probably other people (maybe an engineer) about the design of the backup system. Basically, we’re going to find out what the BMS can and cannot do and then figure out the logic and designate some poor sap to actually design the system. About fucking time. It’s such a pity I don’t get to use all this shit I learned in the future. R.’s going to a GEM reunion luncheon. I’m NOT going, because I was never part of GEM. And then Tuesday, it’s back to MEPFP, and hopefully finally put the backup system to rest (but probably not).
Also today! I was on the phone with my sister, and googled some stuff and turned up a possible job for her, so that’s something. There’s this massive risk that if you put a problem in front of me, I will just pull out the Harley Quinn Cartoon Hammer of Problem Solving, and Fix That For You. You’ve been warned.
I walked with M. A. was having difficulty identifying comfortable clothing for the walk, and bringing sunglasses, so R. walked her the other way to us and then she continued back with us. When we got back to the house, I pulled out a pair of pants from her drawer, said, these are awesome pants. I love them. I know you think they are static-cling risk because of the way they feel, but I swear, they never, ever, ever cling. You should try them. She’s been wearing them pretty much since.
Again. The Harley Quinn Cartoon Hammer of Problem Solving. I also ordered her a 64 pack of Miss Vicky’s Sea Salt potato chips, because we cannot seem to find a store that carries them near us.
