Chapter 4 - Saturday Hell Day

James

I have one job site, Jasmine. Already put up her little library and she loves it and she also invited me back to the home to do some more work. She said, "I work a little bit like her birth dad and her grandpa did."

Today, she had me putting shelves up that belong in the house I noticed one of them was a custom-made shelf and I asked her where did she get this, and she said, "remember when I said little bit like her my dad and a lot of my grandpa. They made that together." That has been up in my room since I was a child. Plus she had me cleaning up the backyard.

I thought I was thinking to myself, "man I would've love to meet that person." But she responded with, "Yes, you would've. He was a really great man and God broke the mold when he made him." And her grandma Miss Pearl said, "damn right. I really miss him and I hope someday you find a man exactly like him and Jasmine your Nathan might not be the one."

To myself, "dammit she is taken." Well, I better work on my marriage now.

I was thinking to myself, "Grandma why did you have to bring up Nathan now." We are in agreement that we're trying to work it out. After dealing with James getting him started on the projects I need to get him started on, I needed to figure out where the other contractors were and why they haven't called to say anything. Only one contractor showed up at 9 AM.

11 am finally comes, here come the three stragglers. I get them to their appropriate locations and get them to start working. When is finishing the painting inside other is finishing all electrical work on the outside of the house and last but not least we got the concrete done so he's trying to tell me that do you need to do like a fix to the other concrete to make it match or protect it.

Around 11:30 AM I meet back up with James and I give him some more projects to do, so I had him do the Lifts on the trash cans container Storage, finish doing the privacy fence for the wrought iron fencing, finish putting up the window blinds in the laundry room, enlarge my dog's kennel area where he goes to the bathroom, and finish hanging up pictures & earthquake-proof everything in the house. And then remove the seven big trees that could hit a patio cover.

Around 12 as I was making sure everything was going smoothly Nathan calls, "hey I love you and I'm really trying to make it out there to see you sometime." I said remember our deal "if you don't do anything in the next couple of months we are through," he said, "I'm really trying hon and I'm trying to commute communicate with you every week."

I was thinking to myself, "dammit I didn't need to accidentally hear my boss's conversation, but maybe there are problems in paradise just like for me"

Around 12:45 PM I have my guys come over and start helping me take down these big trees. Now after we are done it will be a clear slab on whatever she wants to be done later.

One of my guys said "that's the type of woman you want. She gets things done and she seems to be very confident." I told him, "she already has someone," he said back to me things change maybe she wants him right now but in a few years anymore." I told him "as long as she's wearing that ring I'm assuming she's off the market." His comment "makes an ass out of you and me."
