Filtered Against Evil and Katherine
Eponine, according to the inspector I brought in, you should be ready to open whenever you're ready. Pick a date and we'll go ahead and start advertising. And thanks to all the work Ed did, there's plenty left in the budget for new furniture and decorative things if you want to go pick some stuff out.
I've also secured a building for the youth center. It's right there, it's in my name, and I really don't know what to do with it except kind of look at it all awestruck. I guess next is setting it up as a center rather than just a great big pile of bricks. There's room for a gym and a yard in the back to put courts and maybe a skate area and there's lots of individual rooms, too. It's the first big project I've put together and I can't lie, I'm a little proud.
We'll see how long that pride lasts when I actually have to staff and run it and get kids in there. But for now? Kinda badass.
And yesterday I didn't think of him for six whole hours. Progress.
