I just got back from dropping off Lou at the bus station. He is gone—at least until September. He spent 22 days in this area all of which were supposed to be supported by the local church. They sent him to us after 8 days claiming they had no place for him to stay.
Lou is a tough houseguest to have. He is appreciative but also very manipulative. He would have ended up staying here until August if we didn’t explain to him that he could not stay in our house if we were not in town. He figures if God has led him into a home he can stay there as long as he feels he needs to. We love the guy but we cannot let him move in permanently.
He is now off to Missouri and has no idea how long he will stay there.
We are preparing for a trip to Jacksonville. I apparently fried my mp3 player while loading a book on it. I’m going to try to recover it but it doesn’t look good.
Brie is taking advantage of her regained freedom and is not in the room with us. Instead she is out in the den just enjoying no strangers in the house.
Lou’s departure was typical Lou. He decided he would travel with 2 bags. He stuffed all his stuff into 2 bags. When we got to the bus station he was told because the bag was 22 pounds over the limit it could not be checked but must be shipped as cargo (for $35) So I had to dash back home and get his other suitcase for him before the bus arrived. He left 2 bags at our house a big one and a small backpack. I chose the bigger one because I knew for sure he could fit 22 lbs in it. When I arrived with the bag Lou was upset. He wanted the smaller bag. No thanks. He didn’t even say good-bye when he got on the bus. He was too preoccupied with where he would sit.
It will be nice to get back to normal around here.
