Rosie you wouldn't believe the pile of boxes in here. It kind of looks like a
miniature tower. Yup a lot of my stuff is packed. The whole closet is cleared
out except for my suitcase and my vacuum cleaner in the other closet is empty.
The only thing that got packed her I can't find it is my police scanner but oh
well I'll find it later. I left my books out because I want to read them. She
wanted to pack them and I said no let's wait. I also left close out too. My
worker is going to do laundry on Monday and I'm not sure what else were going
to do. But she did help a little bit. So that's OK. I think she let the other
lady help me. The lady that's helping me pack her name is Montoya. And I'm not
really sure Siri is going to pronounce that right. She's a really nice lady.
But anyway I think sometimes she gets a little scatterbrained but we get along
good. She's a pretty neat lady. She works in the furniture store too.

Hi, Kathleen,
I'm glad you're getting your stuff packed. I'm sure you'll be glad when it's
all over and you're back in your own apartment.

Hi Sharon with your condo big? Was it a one bedroom or bigger? Well right
now as I dictate this my stuff is being packed up. I don't know how many
boxes I have setting in the living room right now maybe eight or more. I'm
not really sure. But the lady is packing my stuff and that's good. Other
than that not much is going on here. I had dinner macaroni and cheese and
corn and it was good. My worker came today too and we sort of stuff. So
that's done

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 be
yre.
But 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 b
reDa
vid 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 p
ttt
y
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. Bu

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?
