WAW filing for D

[dlt1]

I'm on XP, as is the laptop I'm trying to get wireless. I believe rommie's comp (which works, but is slooooooow) is XP as well, bt may be 2000.
I think I figured out that the prob is the router and modem are not talking. My comp and laptop pick up the LAN from router, but Int Explorer is not finding anything. Plan on calling ISP, but I need to get the acct info. Since roomie's comp has internet, I'm not in a huge rush, just keeping busy working on it which is OK, for now. It also brings out a touch of W anger for inconveniencing, which is also OK, for now. Speaking of W:
She called me back this a.m., apologized for not calling sooner but did not get my msg until she got up today. Said she is leaving a check on counter for me today. Asked if I would stay there Wed night when she is gone. She had not seen her work friend, so was not sure she would be able to watch them, and didn;t have a lot of time to go over the pups' needs. I had promised myself to distance myself from this b/c it is enabling her to have the benefits of a H without actaully engaging me. Well, I also had said that if things feel through, let me know and I would do it. So, of course, I said yes. What really ticks me off is when she told me to get a hotel as I was looking at the possibility of not having a place for a week. But then she asks me for a favor!?! Would like to talk to her baout this, but I think that right now I need to let it slide off my back.
After that, we talked about her plans for tomorrow. She is nervous, anxious, and excited. I validated, gave her a pep talk, and we laughed about things. Really a great short phone call. Naturally, I forgot I needed to ask her about something else I needed. So I left a voicemail a little later. Just need her to clear off a spice rack so I can take it to have for my spices. It won't be a big deal, so I'm not worried about having to call back.
Would like input both on my dog watching (am I a doormat?) as well as my anger at me bending over backward to ensure her convenience, yet she has no regard for mine.
Thanks,
