A Year later, how things have changed

I just read a post from January 24, 2020. I ramble on about how Nastia is going back to RCC and she won't graduate in the spring because she is short credits and how Elena has decided to drop out of college and take an intro class to automotive mechanics. How everything has changed. The only thing that went like I thought would was the refinancing of the house. We finished that up in the early days of Covid March pandemic; when we thought that it might end by the beginning of summer. It might be over by summer, but what years is the question. Since that post, the girls have both dropped out of RCC. Nastia doesn't hang around with Taj so much any more. She hangs around with a girl named Jessie, who has an eight year old autistic son. It's Jessie's thirtieth birthday this weekend. Nastia and her are going to spend the weekend doing things together. Nastia still works at Stop and Shop and still does'nt have a full time job. She has been pushed to look for full time employment, but resists. She was going to work at ShopRite with Elena, but they wanted her to work nights and Teri and I didn't want her to drive at night. She has trouble seeing. Elena on the other hand went almost full time at ShopRite in Pearl River back a year ago. She is still a manager's assistant and she goes to different departments to work. Up until things changed recently, she was working in the bakery.She finally has her new car and it is working fine as is her relationship with Matt. I'm sure you read the post about her going over to Matts in her onesie and how she came back with hickies. She can be a little rough when she talks to him, insulting him, making fun of him. She says he likes it and would never leave her. I hope she is right. She has invested alot of emonation capital in this relationship, I hope he knows how lucky he is and she knows how special he is to take all of the crap she throws at him. Love is grand (sarcasm) Nastia is dating Brandon and she hasn't beenable to be with him him because he has gotten a case of or was exposed to Covid. She only gets to see him in the evenings or on Wednesday's again in an empty house if they go back over to his parents house to 'hang'. yeah, I've already talked about all the mischief I got into back then in empty houses and they both are as well prepared as they can be and I hope they are careful. Teri still has her job. I am writing this on a Friday morning, she is at the other end of the table getting angry over something that is going on with one of her workers and how they are good at their job, but they are getting into things that are not what is important or at least top of the pile stuff. Teri types furiously a reply to her worker. She then growles at me, " I hate this job!". I wish she could find a new one that would make her happy and pay her a decent salary for the next few years.
