Saturday night

Was all cleaned up and out of the house at around 1:00 p.m. Headed straight up to the insurance agency to sign the paperwork for the homeowners policy, then dashed down to E.'s, to help him out on the computer, as planned. He wasn't even home. I called him on the cell and he was in WalMart, buying bottled water. (He hadn't expected me to arrive at his place so soon, but I'd told him I'd be there ASAP after I left the insurance agency.) He said he'd be right home.

I sat on some stairs for a good 15 minutes or so, waiting, then called him back and said I was wasting my time. He appeared about five minutes later, empty-handed. I asked him about the water, and he said he'd abandoned his shopping cart in the line at WalMart and rushed back home. (He'd been afraid I'd leave - and I would have.) (The lines at WalMart can be horrible, which is one reason I avoid going there.) (And I can imagine that at that time on a Saturday, it was BAD.)

Anyway, we then set up his online banking and he was able to view his balance and transactions. We also set up his Bill Pay online at Comcast. (When he gets them in the mail, we'll need his bills to set up FPL and AT&T [Internet].)

Monday morning he's going to his bank to close the checking account and open a new one. I think he's afraid the old BF might have access to it and try to use it [i.e., steal], since the BF had been paying E.'s bills for him online.) (E. now knows how that works.)

Meanwhile, I've prepared a whole list of things to teach him on the computer on Monday (after his banking), including hands-on stuff (like paying his Comcast bill). I also found a free Photoshop-type program that we'll download and use (Gimp). I've downloaded it here tonight and learned how to use it (just the basics). (From my research, it's the best free Photoshop-type program out there.)

I'm also going to attempt to figure out how to take a snapshot (of E.) with the laptop's built-in camera. Then we can edit that in Gimp and upload it to his Facebook profile. (The BF confiscated all of E.'s photos from the time they were together - all of them, even ones without the BF in the shot.)

Meanwhile, the BF is back from Mexico but hasn't called E. Just as well (as E.'s mom told him). E. has no intention of calling him.
