She's going to come back sometime next week to help me do more packing. But yes
it's a great big tower of boxes. Anyway I made a mistake in the grocery store
and didn't know it until this morning. I want to open a box of coffee and
discover that these cake pops are different than the one side by. I think the
ones I accidentally got her for a different Karrick machine. I'm going to have
to call Karagen ask what I can do about them. Because I think they belong to a
different machine the Bruce pots of coffee instead of one Cup at a time. Anyway
they have like a plus filter on the bottom and their flatter. I hate to throw
them away because they're kind of expensive. I guess my age didn't look at the
box and read it very well I guess she thought K cup means K cup. Oh well.
Anyway I'll talk to my mom tomorrow. I listen to the Yankee game and we lost
again. We're supposed to play two more games against Toronto and we do need to
meet when some of them. Oh well. But everything is going good around here
pretty much. But anyway I think Saturday morning I'll be leaving sometime I'm
not sure when. I asked the guy that's in charge of moving if he could bring
some kind of stepstool so the easier for me to climb into the truck because
it's really high. I need something to stand on. It's too hard for me to push up
from the sidewalk.

Wow, that does sound like a tower--all those boxes you have packed. I'm glad
the lady didn't pack your books so you can read them. I haven't heard of the
name Montoya. It's different. I'm glad you and Montoya get along great.

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 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

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
bfo
re.
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
py
Da
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
Bure
tt
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.

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?
