A dishwashing schedule posted on the refrigerator went ignored. Just as I had offered my work in the garden in order to win people over, Jen had offered her work in the kitchen. I warned her that this was dangerous. This had happened, and Jen had become the Hotel's maid. She and a few others began leaving exasperated notes in the the kitchen, a domestic situation I was familiar with.
Notes are a sign of ill health in a house.
I tried to pick up some slack in the kitchen, and whenever I found bitter notes in the morning, I left hopeful ones suggesting meetings. Those who had been around for more than a year told me that this was a familiar situation. Dreamtime's problems were only repeating themselves year after year. They came loaded with the baggage of previous disappointments.
