OT I'm back!

Hey Brug friends,

I am back in my home as of last Friday! I missed you all and have a lot of catching up to do; but, it will take some time since I have lots of unpacking to do. If you recall, I have been out of my house since May 31 after a flex hose to the hot water heater busted and totally flooded my entire house. Thanks to all those who emailed me with jokes or just questions about my status during this time.

I got used to living at hotel for three months, and the first day I was home unpacking, I got very tired. Later I told a friend that it was because I hadn't done any work for a long time, LOL! The hotel served breakfast daily and dinner Tues, Weds, Thurs; made up my bed, took out the trash and provided clean towels daily with thorough cleaning of the suite on Sat. It was the life :-) BTW, the movers could have done all the unpacking, but I don't have the patience to sit here watching them move slower than snails taking 5-6 days to unpack as they did to pack everything.

There are still a few minor things that the contractor needs to finish up, and the restoration people need to fix some of my furniture that was water damaged, but I am happy to be home. Of course, my yard looks like crap, but there is nothing I can do about it right now until I have my belongings put away in the house. It is also extremely hot outside so even if I had the time, I wouldn't even attempt to do any yard work just now.

Just a while ago, my computer finally started running again. I plugged it in soon after the movers unpacked it, but I couldn't get internet. Later I called and was told the modem was fine, that it must be my computer. Took the computer to Best Buys (in case it was water damaged since the tower was on the floor) to have it checked, and it was working fine, but not when I got it home. Today, finally after trying to reach Verizon tech support, a lady was able to reset the modem (was locked for whatever reason), and I am back online!

And remember, we are full-blown enablers here!! When you're ready!

Welcome back. You must be happy to be home. You've been displaced for such a long time. It must feel kind of weird and quiet. If you want any plants just let me know. I have some things I can send you.

Thanks, it's certainly great to be back home HERE with you all! I've missed all the daily going ons, from Lucy's POTD to Kristy's advertures to Karyn et al's pictures of beautiful flowers. BTW, I have a lot of posts to catch up on, but until then, where is Kristy? I am glad to see Kylie posting again :-) The yard (used to be a garden) will have to wait, then I will ask all you 'enablers' to help me, LOL!
