The New Apartment

To sum it up briefly, I have an email account but I cannot send or receive email. We have DSL but the signal  is weak and intermittent therefore we keep being thrown off line.I spent three hours today {I timed it} with two people from the tech service neither of whom spoke good English. I&he...

We STILL do not have our DSL. This morning I called Verizon yet one more time, and lo and behold, they came up with yet MORE excuses and these are ones I have never heard before. Apparently the reasons we don't have DSL as yet is a combination of the fact we live in Vermont, …

  This entry is going to be mostly about how Verizon sucks and  is, yet again, being written on a library computer. You may remember that first Verizon told us that out DSL would be connected on the 9th. Then it was changed to the 11th which was yesterday. So, why no DSL you may…

  Verizon STILL sucks. Now our reconnection to DSL is the 11th! {This is being written at the library} On the other hand, the Dish Network is excellent. We were connected this morning and much to my pleasure, we have BBC America! Adelphia also sucks. Their phones are not working. Apparently,...

We are moved from the upstairs apartment to the downstairs apartment. Our computers are set up but we have no DSL until the 9th so this  quick update is coming to you from the library computer. A few random bullets: If 95 boxes are packed, then 95 boxes have to be unpacked So far we…

This missive is coming to you from a downstairs AIR CONDITIONED apartment and from a person who, right now, is enjoying the coolness and lack of humidity so much that she doesn't give a damn about the electricity bill! It is just a little after 8 am and Fred is still asleep although he came…

It is the middle of the afternoon and a lot has been done. The apartment upstairs only needs one more set of shelves {from the bathroom} bringing downstairs. I have wonderful neighbors who came over this morning and worked like proverbial beavers. First there was Martha who owns the hou...

I am absolutely and totally exhausted. Most of our stuff is moved. There are still some fans, Fred's filing cabinets and a couple of storage shelves from the bathroom. And food from the refrigerator. Oh, and some stuff in the downstairs hall to be moved to the basement... We still have two days l...

It is 5:30 AM. I have been up for 30 minutes and before that, I was reading for an hour and a half. I went to sleep at 1:30. If you are interested enough, you can figure out how much sleep I got. All I know is that it wasn't enough...I sit here and look…

If we ever have to move again, someone else is going to do the packing. And I don't care HOW much it costs!I will go into debt rather than do this again...Back to the kitchen...Links to art: Drawings and Pastel Paintings Until later....
