yesterday, Wednesday, i *had* a plan(?) for the day,
but before i got out of the bed
'twas a knock at the door

:-(

it was a young lady,
who'd come-by the day before
to inquire about renting a spot
on landlord & his mom's property
for a shop ----- her-plan is to build a likkle *sports-bar*, with pool table(s) ..... 'cause she don't want to be depending on her/a man for this & that (i.e., $$$$)

this young-lady was bright, articulate, focused, STRONG, determined, blah blah raaa ----- just-like MANY Jamaican women

landlord gave her a tour of the proposed site.
they chatted about this & that ---- fascinate-ing how negotiations take-place, down-here ---- for me, the back & forth was intrigue-ing, educational, enlighten-ing.

she was to return later in the day,
to meet & chat with the mom
to finalize the deal (if approved)

jumping ahead:::>>> they closed the deal ---- the young-lady will begin construction, etc soon

rent...???... --- Ja $10,000 per year

*usually* the range would/could be about Ja $12,000 per year

my gut tells me she's gonna do quite-well with her new business venture.
