Today was a flurry of luck and synchronistic happenings. There was a leak at my rental home and I called in my friend and master craftsman Tod McNeal. Together Jeremy and I went over and the two of them went to work upgrading some plumbing fixtures and re-sinking the mail post, plus the hundred and one other things Tod did before we got there. I was dispatched to Home Depot then they installed a new faucet and new drain assembly and replaced some parts. Everything came together like clockwork: the parts we got were the right ones, the fixes were obvious and minor. Within four hours everything had been taken care of and we were on our way back home. I’ve told Jeremy that he’s a lucky charm. He’s been working with me while looking for a job close to home. He signed his truck over to his ex and discovered there’s a real freedom in not driving, not to mention no car payments, no insurance payments. We live in the Bayside area of SE Palm Bay, where everything is within biking distance: Brevard Community College, all chain stores, boutiques and franchise stores and eateries, Home Depot, Lowes, you name it. We’ve been joking about what kind of job he could find within a few miles of home. We mused that he might consider volunteering somewhere just to be doing good work while he waits to see where the Universe directs him. Home Depot had several positions available and he enquired about that. Before he could apply, a friend had already offered him some work. As usual, we were just talking about that. I love watching synchronicity unfold.
