Tuesday Update
Today's (August 15) activities included:
1. At the college we got Deb's photo-ID card, saw a financial counselor (no discount for pre-paying as she has 2 hr. above the limit to be consider post-graduate which is a lower tuition rate so we paid the semester with a credit card and got airline miles.
2. Stopped at Nursing Department: turned in RN license, signed for criminal background check and got the website to do JCAHO training (10 modules)
3. Went to the bookstore and bought all her books for this semester
4. Visited a woman with an apartment to rent - very close to campus, reasonable price, well-furnished (over furnished - Deb asked her to remove excess lamps, and will be storing a couple extra tables in a large closet) - rented it, moved 90%+ of her belongings in - some clothing in a dresser we brought down and will take back will need to be moved in tomorrow
5. Visited the hardware store for light bulbs, bolts for the woman's bed frame, outlet cover, etc.
6. Stopped at the dollar store for cleaning & household supplies, etc.
Since supper we have tried (fruitlessly) to order a cell phone for Deb (will do when back in New England) - Verizon Wireless in TN cannot access her account in Massachusetts where she was previously in college - too many people have the number including multiple departments at her new university, so she doesn't want a new number. Deb has gone online and ordered her parking permit for the university.
We are still hoping to stop at Staples and WalMart tonight and if we get her unpacked and settled tomorrow, we will leave for home early Thursday AM. Off we go!!!

Oh wow! I have scheduled only two days to get Jeanne situated in Providence. Now I'm wondering if that will be enough time. Of course, we are fortunate to be a bit ahead in that we already have secured her a place and Jackie is picking up her bed for us.
Hard to tell - we put in REALLY long, arduous days the whole 5 days that we were gone from home. If you are planning sort of "normal" days, two may not be enough.
To be honest, the apartment was pretty much all picked out ahead of time - we drove by it the night that we pulled into town, and stopped by the next morning to look at it and pay the deposit and first month's rent. But we did not look at any other apartments.
