Emergency Management, still

It seems that all I needed was an emergency to spur all of the necessary repairs in my apartment. The worker came this afternoon to skim the plaster on the ceiling, and repaired all of the pre-existing cracks. He will return Saturday afternoon to sand and paint. An ayi will follow him, to clean the entire apartment. Tomorrow, I've been promised a new kitchen faucet and repaired kitchen cabinets, plus a stash of lightbulbs.

These details may be more than you need.

Suffice it to say that all of my complaints - and they've been steadily piling up since the beginning of December - ought to be repaired in full by Saturday afternoon.
