Phone calls, therapy

walkitoutI decided that my multi-year game of chicken (vis a vis paying for the house I am building and where the money for it is coming from) should come to an end. The stock market is especially frisky, so Big Sale Today. I feel eerily calm now and I have no idea what, if anything, that might mean. The last time I had a feeling like this was when I paid off my condo. And just look at all the shenanigans I’ve gotten up to since then.
I got a call from C. at Fusion about A. and we had a chat, and I’m going to meet with her in person tomorrow and we’ll continue the chat.
We had the last therapy appointment for a month today (therapist is going to Europe). It was good. I explained a lot of what we’ve been talking about and trying and how it is going, and she doesn’t seem to have any reservations about what we are exploring, which is nice.
I didn’t walk with M., because rain, but we had a highly interrupted visit.
I did walk this morning with AS up in Mayberry. That was fun! It always is.
I analyzed how the pattern of Forbo’s Harlekino by Memdini is put together (alternating lines of 6 colors that repeats every couple dozen diamonds, with an offset that I haven’t fully figured out yet). I was going to ask for a change so that the tiling would have no matching neighbors, however, I decided that this was considerably more complex even than I had feared and it’s actually kind of cool the way it’s laid out so other than asking for some color swaps, I’m leaving it alone. O. at M. is going to recreate the design because Forbo won’t just mod the colors in the artist’s design. Not sure if O. plans to leave the lines in or not — I don’t really care either way. I’m feeling pretty good about this for the bar face.
I’m thinking I’m going to call JB at the builder and ask what the status is on the wallpaper behind the bar shelving. I _think_ that no action has been taken on this yet, and I _think_ I’m going to pull the plug on it. But we’ll see. ETA: Looks like it has sold out in the color I wanted anyway, so if they haven’t already bought it, it’s not happening either way. Hmmm.
