Remember I repotted the dracaena a few weeks ago? I've been taking very good care of it (i.e., watering it). (I also fertilized it when I repotted it.) Well, it is now sending out a new shoot. [Click to enlarge.]

I've been clamming up lately for a reason, which will be revealed. I've been extremely worried about something (or someone).
OK, it's been about E. getting into his new apartment and away from the bad-boy BF. I've been extremely supportive of E. in this. Then he hit a snag when they did a background check on him (which he paid $100 for) and found a couple of things (like a DUI many years ago). This put everything on hold re: his getting into the apartment (which is supposed to happen at the end of this month, which of course is rapidly approaching).
Last week he frantically asked me to write a letter for him to sign, dated a few days earlier, in which he acknowledged his past mistakes (his youthful indiscretions) and stressed his changed ways - his maturation into a responsible adult, as demonstrated, e.g., by his 11 years of steady employment at his current place of business. So I whipped up the letter here on the computer (he doesn't even have a computer - yet*) and read it to him over the phone. Then I printed out a few copies and walked them over to E. at the restaurant.

Then I printed out a few copies and walked them over to E. at the restaurant.
So now, I was involved in his getting this apartment. And after that, there was no word for days, though the people he talked to said his prospects were good. But that, of course, wasn't assurance enough, and he's almost desperate to get in there and out of his current situation.
Today, some good news. He was told that the only thing left to do now was to go to an interview, which will happen very soon (maybe tomorrow or the next day, I'd assume). I think he'll do well at that and will win them over and erase any doubts they might have about him, despite his youthful indiscretions.
So I hope what I did for him helped. He told me today (his day off) he couldn't even sleep last night worrying about the situation and the prospect of starting over trying to find someplace else. He really likes this place, and for him the location is ideal. (I also didn't sleep well last night over this.)
