And Another Thing…
My preparations for this trip have funnelled down to an insane obsession with battery management - charging batteries for my phone, mp3, camera(s), laptop (God help me, I’m taking it). Then, in a last-minute attempt to make the front door lockset work a little easier, I took it apart this morning to douse it with WD-40 and broke it putting it back together. It works, but won’t lock. There’s a deadbolt we can use for locking, but it represents an unlooked-for level of complication for my MIL, who’s staying here (with the assistance of some home-care folks). She loves to let the cats in & out, so she has an incentive to learn to work it.
I think we’re getting out just in time - before any other devices around here go tits-up.
Seeya.
