It’s been four days since we carried my sister in law’s belongings into her new home. It’s MUCH smaller than where she’s been living the past 4+ years (read: large old farm house compared to a 2 room apartment), but she’s safe now and that’s what matters the most!
We were amazed to find out, however, that it was going to take the phone company 5 business days to flip a switch so that she’d have phone service VS the cable company physically having to come to her apartment to hook up cable. Thankfully the cable company also offers phone service, so she’s getting that through them rather than the phone company. (read: You snooze, you lose)
She’s also going to get high speed internet through them and we’re going to get my hubby’s old laptop back from my brother in law, that way she can keep up with things online and have access to important websites and stuff. Good thing we have plenty of extra CAT5e cables lying around, that’ll be one less thing she’ll have to worry about buying!
I ended up spending over 8 hours with her yesterday, which I really enjoyed! I had honestly forgotten how much I enjoyed talking to her and spending time with her! She’s such an admirable woman and I’m still amazed with all of the rough cards life has dealt her that she still holds her head high and hasn’t given up! I look forward to spending many more days with her!
