What a blessing to get Wi-Fi in my apartment! Yesterday I did not even have phone capability, and today I have multiple devices happily working for me.
Christel had figured out why I could not use the cell and had me turn off Wi-Fi on the phone until it was installed; she is an amazing troubleshooter even from more than 1000 miles away.
Yesterday I arrived at the lease signing with four minutes to spare. I was most grateful for the navigator on my phone. I moved in some things before I went to the temple. I enjoyed being in the temple at the same time that my sweetheart was in the temple in St. Louis.
This morning I went to the mission Swapmeet and picked up a dish drainer and lots of clothes including a warm parka! I was very grateful for the coat, as I had only brought an all-weather coat, and traveling across Wyoming taught me that this would not be enough.
I rearranged the furniture to make a little sitting area. My goal is to learn to be comfortable in uncluttered surroundings. I also want to learn what stuff is actually essential. Obviously for me essential items include Wi-Fi.
I got out to buy rice to go with the lentils I was cooking, and a few other items, as well as gas. I am getting used to finding my way by the grid, although twice I was in the wrong lane and had to go further than I needed to.
Things were organized enough that I celebrated having good Wi-Fi access by Indexing a few batches from the Freedman's bureau. The goal for completing these indexes is Juneteenth, and there are many left to do, so I was glad to get to help a bit.
Tomorrow is the Sabbath, and Monday I venture in to The Training Zone!
As I told you on the phone, once you learn how to get around in Salt Lake, you will love it. It's an easy system to understand, as I am sure the Lord intended for His Saints!
ReplyDeleteMy new friend, who is 86 and just finishing her 7 year mission in July, showed me how to get to the Tabernacle, and the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, and an easy way to get into the temple, so now even Temple Square is starting to make sense!
DeletePlease let me know if there is ANYTHING you need to make your apartment more comfortable or warmer clothing. I would be happy to stop it by.
ReplyDeleteI am doing fine on clothing, Leslie, I just did not bring a warm coat or boots--and now I will just need to get boots. However, a visit from you would be most enjoyable!!
