Leroy At Home

Hello,

Even though Leroy is only working 15 hours a week for May and June,  he still feels busy. He is busy. He is on some committees at church so he has made some trips there. There is also church choir as well as volunteering to lead the neighborhood garden committee. The last big time taker has been getting the internet service set up and running. On Thursday he was quite excited when I came home because we have our own service and the landline phone works as well.

I am pleased too that the internet service is going. The woman did not have to come in the house so there was no fussing about who was paying that bill. Leroy said the hard part was finding the box on the outside of the house. Finally they found it hidden under a downspout. Unfortunately the only live phone jack is in the kitchen so that is where the router and our phone box are situated, even though the suggestion is not to have the router close to water or a microwave, besides it clutters my space. We have a phone jack in the bedroom, but Leroy is unable to move the bed by himself so felt he could not ask her to activate that one as he would not be able to fiddle with whatever needed to be fiddled with.

The router and phone sat on the clothes dryer when I came home. We had some serious discussion about where and how to move it to a more acceptable place. Limiting length cords, both electric and phone line were a big factor in this discussion. Today the equipment sits on top of the refrigerator. That is certainly more out of the way, but I have a bit of a hard time reaching the phone. Hopefully Leroy is going to now spend another large chuck of time trying to get the phone provider to take back the bridge that no longer works and send us a new one enabling us to move the phone back to the office. If it does not happen, we can live with the conditions that we now have. Hopefully the router will be able to last even though it might be closer than ten feet to a microwave. Maybe when using the microwave I should stand between it and the route to block the waves and have them absorbed into my body.
