Doctor Grandma

I have been in Indiana for a week. It feels like I should stay another week and it is very hard to leave. Jasmine’s house is still a mess, though boxes are unpacked. The computer modem is blinking that all is working, but it is not working. We think we are missing a splitter, so the phone cord going into the wall is not protected, and won’t allow the Internet to work. It has all been very difficult working in my daughter’s house, with her stuff, not knowing what is important or not important, deciding what to do with what.

It turns out we set up the computer miles and miles from the nearest phone wall jack. I saw the cable outlet and thought that’s why she wanted it set up in that corner. She knew she had a long phone line cord and figured it didn’t matter. There is no phone jack in the entire living room, so it has to run to the kitchen, if she wants it downstairs.

Nothing is settled, yet I need to start out on a 10-hr drive and let it go. I managed to take pics of the gravesites in Lafayette, in 2 cemeteries, finding my great-granparents’ graves & I didn’t know where they were. That is about all I accomplished on “family history” this trip. I’m trying to get myself in gear and hit the road. It’s going to be a later trip than the one that brought me here. I also have a headache and have not slept enough. I smell Starbucks….
