Let the Games Begin

Today was definitely a stressful one for me.  Cal texted me late last from Vegas and said that he needed a guarantor form signed for his new house in Bloomington.  As that wasn't stated in the lease, it was the first any of us had heard about it.  In general Doug hasn't preferred to guarantee Cal's living arrangements.  We pay the rent, so we have never had to worry about that.  It was the damages to the property and personal liability that had bothered him.  We have no control over what Cal and his friends do in college and really do not feel a need to be overly involved.  With Doug getting back last night after 11p.m. from Toronto  and having a business meeting scheduled first thing this morning, he wouldn't have time to look through the lease and call our insurance until the after lunch today.  One of Cal's roommates was scheduled to move in this afternoon, so it became a stressful situation around 11 a.m. today as I tried to sort it out for everyone.  Thankfully, our insurance agent was available.  He was able to get Cal a renter's insurance policy and also could assure me that our policies would cover us if there was a serious issue.  Thus, by 1 p.m. Doug was able to sign what Cal needed for his roommate to move in as scheduled.

While all of this was going on, Meg and I were at Walmart buying her supplies for college.  Shopping for college can be overwhelming in its own right, but today it had an added twist with Cal's housing situation.  I felt bad that I was distracted with it while we were first shopping, but in the end we found everything that we needed.  We were also able to stop at Kohl's and Target as well which was definitely less stressful and a lot more fun.  I was glad that we ended on a high note having time to stop at Hacienda for lunch when we were done.

Meg had plans to hang out with her tennis friends this evening at the Brew and Doug worked until 7:30.  Thus, Mom and I were the only ones available to go to Cam's tennis scrimmage in Angola.  I was afraid that we would be late, but we made it just as the teams were announced.  Cam played two sessions tonight.  The first was with Austin at number one JV doubles.  They won 6-1 and looked great on the court.  Cam played very well in the second session also, winning his singles match 4-1.  He said that Matt thought Austin and Cam were a very strong JV doubles pair, but that he would also need them to play singles at time during the season.  Cam was excited about that and Grandma and I were happy to have seen him play in his first high school scrimmage.
