Busy, busy day today. Good day.
Apr. 29th, 2005 12:10 amThings I did today: set up my new laptop computer that my father-in-law bought me because he's just that cool. Bought an el cheapo cell phone so that I can actually do things which require contacting people without going into the house which makes me fall over. Contacted private insurance adjusters to take a look at our house, the offer that the insurance company offered us, and tell us how they can do better. Set up a meeting with one of the adjusters. Met with the adjuster and talked about what he can do for us, and whether it makes sense to hire him. Set up a meeting with the other adjuster I had recommended to me. Gonna see him tomorrow at eleven. Checked out all the hotels on Rte 1 to see if any of them would be a good place to stay for Lis and me -- our kitty's still at Felis Sidus's house, and we slept there last night, but we didn't want to invade her house TOO much or for too long, not that she really MINDED having us there, but still. Got a $99/night room at a hotel, because insurance will be paying for it, and that's actually pretty much a mid-range hotel in this area -- there are cheaper ones, but most of 'em are more expensive. And this one has free wireless internet, which means that I can actually ACCOMPLISH things from here. And it also has free "conversion kits" for computers with DSL hookups -- a DSL plug at one end and a WiFi antenna at the other, so Lis can get her 'puter on the 'net, too. And it has a free continental breakfast. Which, frankly, is a Big Deal: if we can get a free meal at the beginning of every day, that means we have to spend a lot less on food in general, which should make insurance happy. . .
After I got Lis squared away in the room, I went back to Felis Sidus's house in order to play with our cat, and to show her the pilot episode of Firefly. 'Cause, see, now I've got a laptop with a DVD player. . .
She also showed off that she just ordered herself a laptop -- Lis and I accidentally talked her into it. And as she got to play with my laptop, and watch DVDs on it, I think she's real happy that she's getting one, too.
