Hi all. Finally got my office/spare bedroom painted today. Now I actually have to start doing something. Need to install the new router/modem/wifi setup that Charter sent me for the upgrade we did last month. And I have to install a new wireless printer (Epson Workforce WF 3540). Both tasks that I am terrible at. The instructions that came with the Charter router stuff (2 units necessary, more desk space being taken up) only describe hooking up to the cable modem. Have not even opened the printer box yet. Oh boy. I hate this techie stuff.
So, if you all do not hear from me for a while, it is because I failed miserably at hooking this stuff up. If I screw it up Charter says that I have to make an appointment for someone to come to house and have to pay a big service fee. I think I am going to try to do this tonight or tomorrow night. Or maybe I should wait until Monday. Just trying to puff up my courage. This is an embarrassing admission for someone who used to work in IT before PCs. I am absolutely PC illiterate. Always hated modems and routers and wires.
We have gotten in several quotes on the work needed for the kitchen and hardwood. The amount of money we may get for the hardwood does not seem to be worth having a new adjuster out to the house to reevaluate the whole of the project. I do not want any more insurance people or contractors running around out here. So we will probably pick a hardwood guy and a cabinet guy to do the work. None of the general contractors impressed us enough to be confident in the workers they would sub contract and send to our home. Not at least for the money they are going to charge and the timelines they are talking about. I will be the general contractor. Fun, fun and more fun.
DH and I are continuing to talk about selling this house and moving after the work is done, so probably in the next year or so. I have to start researching areas that we may want to go to. Nowhere there is a significant winter or the real desert. Somewhere we can afford to live, so Connecticut and California are out. Except maybe up around the Eureka area depending on what I find out on the internet. Son is in Tacoma, WA so that is a must research, and maybe the Portland, OR area. But DH like sunshine. Florida is another definite to check out; I know nothing about it. Thought maybe we would fit in in a retirement community, one of the cheaper ones though. No fancy golf courses and tennis courts for us. I must have somewhere that I can get on Obamacare and they must do the expanded Medicaid since I can not work but do not qualify for Social Security. I am going to be 58 next month so who the h$ll is going to hire me. And low property taxes and other taxes. Bah! What a PITA. Keep telling DH he had better hit Lotto soon. He is not listening.
I am quite happy with my vaping arrangement at this time. I have settled in to using my Provari Mini and using my 510 attys and the Igo-L and a no name dripper. I am vaping my Smooth Criminal and Caramel Pear Black Tea and NLV Gold (not as much). I have still not built a coil yet. My MVP2 and evod is what I am using when out of the house and they are doing the job.
