just had an interesting phone call from C - seems that while she was gone over weekend a thunderstorm knocked out her internet/ home network. she managed to call Tech support and get one computer (not her main one) back online but does not know how to get all three back the way I had them set up. I told her that I thought I could figure out how to fix them and while I was as friendly and plesant as I could be, I did not offer to come over tonight to fix her system. she said she would try to figure it out.

she then asked me about my weekend and I told her I had a great time - putting faces to the names of people I knew and that I was too busy around the beach house to go do any sightseeing so I just stayed at the beachhouse all the time.

I then told her that I hoped she had a good weekend too and she said she did.

she then told me she would have to trade in her car - it will take about $2500 to fix it.

I then told her that if all was ok, that on Sunday I would be over early and get all my stuff packed and either in the shed or in a pile downstairs in the garage. Then if ok with her on Tuesday I would come over with Uhaul and load up all in garage and haul to the storage shed, including the hot tub. She said ok but seemed to be more down.

maybe she will get the idea that I will not drop all to come help her when she needs help - after all she is the one that suggested that we have no contact for 2 months (I guess that time has not techinaclly started yet since I was going over on Sunday to get my stuff.)

Also she is still using some of my things in her business (desk, two filing cabinets, flat screen panel monitor, computer table, printer/copier, etc.) and I was thinking that I should get her to sign a long term lease for those items.
