Well the ladies here packing my stuff. I think I may have eight boxes are more
in the living room here. Anyway for dinner tonight I had macaroni and cheese
and corn and that's about it. But anyway stuff is getting accomplished. And
it's pretty cool. Anyway my friend Danny went back to where my building is and
he said the neighborhood is really quiet and he said it's really eerie. He said
it's really strange. Honestly I don't know what's up with that. Anyway I change
my library stuff back over to the building today and that's done. When I get my
stuff done with Verizon I'll take the modem back to Time Warner. That's within
walking distance of my building. So I can just drop it off and that'll be the
end of that. But anyway I'm not sure what I'm gonna do Sunday when I go back. I
have no idea. I'll think of something of course. But it sure will be good to
see my friends again. Other than that it's peaceful and quiet in this apartment.

Hi, Sharon,
Verizon helped me set up everything when I was with them. I think they'll be
able to help Kathleen but she needs to be more patient with them and stop
complaining about everything not being in braille. I think she complains too
much. That's all I'll say.

Hi Rosie,
Yes they do help you. I was very pleased with them when I got verizon when I
was still at my condo.
Everything can't be in braille as it would be too expensive. I get lots of
things in Braille, however from my bank.

Hi, Kathleen,
The technician should be able to help you with the rooter. That's part
of their job.

Well I get my bank statements and my bills and Brielson nobody complains
about that. Well I just made my 2nd cup of coffee. Waiting for to cool. I'm
just listening to a book right now. Not much is going on here. I think they
were working on apartments next-door to me. I heard them hammering that now
days left. But anyway this afternoon I'll be busy with this one lady. And
my home care aide. I guess she's going to be helping me pack whether she
wants to or not. And I got some sleep last night but not much. Hopefully
when I get home the insomnia will say bye-bye. I sure hope so. One of my
friends said I should talk to my doctor but I said no I don't want to go on
high-powered drugs. I'm not interested in being like a zombie. Not really.
But anyway I hope the technician guy will help me go through the router
thing.

Kathleen, darling, there just aren't enough of us who read braille to
warrant any phone company to make their contracts available to us in
braille, or their router instructions. Plus, often, one person may need
different equipment from another. Please, please, please, don't continue
to complain that things aren't in braille. Only ten percent of the blind
population can read braille, so it's not cost effective for companies to
put things into braille.

Yes those people are really nice and the diner. Well I got the email
confirmation from Verizon that my router has been sent. But this must be a
generic email because it says to open the package and then set up the
router. Setting it up according to the instructions in the welcome book.
Well there's no way I'm going to do that because it's in print. Why they
couldn't send the stuff and broil I have no idea but I wish they would
have. I hope the technician will help me set it up because I'm sure not
going to be able to and I wish they had the contract in braille instead of
me having to go online and try to read it. Especially with the iPhone it
would take ages. Well I'm not sure I would get a cat I thought about it
but as I said I was afraid it would get away. Wow that's quite a story
about Brandy. Thanks goodness he's never gone out since. But at least you
can hear his toenails and you know where he's at. But I bet he's a good
kitty. A fairly big one from what you said bef
DaBut any
way he's probably a good pick pat and a good companion. But I'll be sure
and be good to be in my own for Milyer apartment. I bet people will still
be talking about the bombing. As I said a little voice told me last
Saturday not to go over and visit even though I had wanted to. And it's a
good thing I didn't. But it any rate all my friends were calling me and
telling me what was going on and I turned on the police scanner that night
and it was going crazy. But today the Packer is coming. I think around
three. So will Pack up the stuff I don't need and then next week they'll
finish the rest of it. But I think I'm going to finish all my frozen food.
I may need the cooler for some cheese and baloney if I can't finish that.
The other stuff is shelfstable so I don't have to worry about it. But hey
what can you do. Pretty soon I'll be on my way home. And my cell phone
will work better and everything and that's a good thing. But anyway I'm
reading this book called split-second by
ettvid Bell
duty and I think it's going to be good.

Hi Kathleen,
Yum, that café would probably be a place I'd go to often if I lived in
your area. Sounds as though they're really good people there.
When Brandy was a baby, less than a year old but still considered a
kitten, he walked out of the house when I did early one morning. I was
absolutely terrified. Brandy does have a chip implanted in his neck so
if he does get lost he can be recovered. I was fortunate in that he was
absolutely terrified of being outside. He wedged himself near my
nextdoor neighbor's house, in a corner. The grass was very high there,
and he buried himself there. I'd asked a couple of neighbors if they
could retrieve him for me, but they could not. So, when Herbert my
neighbor finally got home some hours later, he needed to take my hand and
lead me through the maze of things they have outside in their yard. At
first Brandy hissed at me until he smelled a dirty sweat shirt I had on
hand. Very gently, I wrapped him up in the sweat shirt and carried him
inside. He has never, ever wanted to venture outside since that time. I
had a bell on him then but I don't now. His toenails are pr
any
long so
I can tellwhere he is.
If you were to get a cat, I would advisethat you get the cat as a kitten.
At least in my experience, a kitten seems to be able to take our
blindness in stride perhaps better than an adult cat you'd adopt from a
rescue agency would.

Yes I eat there a lot and they're very nice people there too. Especially
on Fridays or specialist macaroni and cheese and fish cakes. And I really
like it. Anyway how do you make sure he brandy doesn't get out of your
apartment? Do you have a bell on him? How do you actually tell where he
is because kitties don't make a lot of noise. I hope you don't mind me
asking but I had thought about getting a cat once but those were the
things I was afraid of. But yes I hope things go better when I get home.
I'm getting rid of Time Warner for phone and I'm going to get high-speed
Internet and phone through Verizon. But they told me I can keep my
current email address. I guess the package with the router and it will be
there when I get home. According to the email I got from them they told
me to set up the router with the welcome package which I'm not gonna be
able to do because it's in print. I don't know why they sent me an email
like that when I told him I was blind. Oh well. But

oving people are coming tomorrow afternoon. My age my ETA is going to be
here tomorrow and that's a good thing so she can help me pack and also
observe the people. And make sure stuff doesn't get forgotten. Like some
did when I moved over here. And the moving person said he had a cooler if
I needed it but I may not. He said he bring it just in case. But hey what
can you do. It's getting closer to me going home. And I'm really glad to.
Anyway your night really sounded like a hellish event

Hi Kathleen,
Well, it'll not be long before your move happens, and we're all hoping
and
praying for you that things begin to go better for you once you're
settled and
back in your own apartment. It can't have been easy for those staying
at Selis
Manor last weekend, and indeed, I think you're lucky not to have been
there.
But, not knowing is very hard, too. Fortunately, in some ways, you
don't have a
pet you're responsible for. That's always a worry when there's an
emergency.
Thankfully, people in your building were able to get food delivered to
them
fixed by the café down the street. Do you ever eat there?
