Hi, Kathleen,
That's neat you bought food for a couple of months. That's a good idea because
sometimes you're not able to get out for one reason or another. I shop for food
for at least a month. Sometimes the vons.com site doesn't always have what I
want in stock. This last time I ordered bologna but they didn't have it. When I
asked Mom if she'd be willing to pick some up for me, she got on my case. I
told her it wasn't my fault that they didn't have it in stock. I also told her
she should try to shop online with her eyes closed so she could see what I go
through. Maybe that would make her think before she says something. I don't
know why sighted people act that way sometimes. In Mom's case she has a problem
with her hearing so when I told her about the bologna, I practically had to
yell at her when I told her they didn't have it in stock. I'll probably ask
someone else to help me with things like that from time to time.
I sure hope they finish up that construction pretty soon. That would drive me
up the wall after awhile.

Well I thought I could finish putting the stuff away that my niece said no.
Anyway today they don't hurt at all. I guess basically it got warmer or less
humid I don't know but today they're fine. Anyway they're still doing the work
on the third elevator and they keep turning our heat off. That's why people are
getting sick. And I think maybe that's why I got the cold and laryngitis plus
from the tar they were putting on the roof of the auditorium because those
chemicals were coming in here. And who knows what kind of stuff is in those
chemicals. My throat doesn't feel irritated anymore but some people say I still
sound horse. But I think it's going to take a while to go away as long as
they're using chemicals and all this kind of junk. But I'll sure be glad when
all this is over. Anyway I did talk to my friend in Vermont and he told me to
ensure the braille writer for replacement value which would be about $750. And
that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm still waiting for my credit card to
come and I hope the post office doesn't lose this one if they do I'm going to
tell the credit card company to FedEx it which I should've done the second
time. And I'm gonna tell them every four years just FedEx the Don cup darn
card. Because were having trouble with this branch of the post office. Anyway
that's all about that nonsense. But I'm really glad I got my shopping done and
I got most of the stuff that I wanted. The only thing I forgot was hot
chocolate. Anyway I'm going to talk to the store and see if I could call in an
order just using my food stamp card I wish they would let me do that because
it's kind of a trip up there. But I've been a good customer of theirs for years
so that's the way it goes. And I had the same lady help me. There was another
gentleman that was going to help me but I asked him if Denise was here and he
said yes and she did. And I bought some more putting except the store only had
chocolate no vanilla. She said she was going to talk to the manager and see if
they could get the vanilla. You know the kind that you cook not that incident
stuff the taste like plastic. But I wanted to get the hot chocolate packets but
I just forgot it Plus I was tired and I just wanted to get out of there. But at
least I got the shopping done for a couple months now so if the weather gets
bad I have enough food and I could get out. So that's basically how that goes.
But there still doing this elevator construction and I hope they're finally
done putting the tire on the auditorium Ruth Chris all man did that stuff stink.

Hi Kathleen,
Sounds as though your brailler needs a good cleaning and that your keys are
jamming. However, I’m only guessing. Your brailler shouldn’g cost $150.00 to
repair, but I don’t know how much shipping charges will be. There is a prison
program in Vacaville, California that will repair braillers for just the cost
of parts, but I don’t know how long it would take them to get to your brailler.
Howe Press is probably the most reliable place, and the turn-around time is
probably pretty minimal as compared to other repairers.
Well, hopefully, the class you missed due to your cold was pretty visual as
well. Yeah, there’s no way you could possibly have known about measuring
things without talking meters, and for what you’ll be doing, you probably won’t
need to get into that. I’m not a ham so don’t know the actual requirements.
Glad you got your shopping done and that your aide was able to finish putting
your groceries away. Well, that’s why you have an aide, to do the things your
body won’t allow you to do. Also glad you got the energy refund back.
Linda G.
