BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL NEW (testing wi-fi hot spot)

I plugged in my new mini-iPhone (I gave up and bought an SE) to charge in my laptop, and up popped the option to create a wi-fi hot spot.
I don't have an internet provider--will this work instead?

Three test photo uploads...

I. The neighbor's gray cat, Pixie, came and introduced herself to me as I sat on my doorstoop yesterday. This is my favorite spot to sit in my new place so far--sort of replaces the front porch at my last place. Several humans have also introduced themselves. Nice.

I am on the ground floor, and when I'm inside I can see people walk past my windows--I really enjoy this! (They are peaceful--mostly dog walkers and joggers, not drug dealers like by the store.)

II. I just set up on the thermostat these vintage paper decorations from Japan that K sent me a long time ago. Absolutely perfect:

III. 

Marz leaves for merchant mariner school in exactly one week!
I tried to tie her to the floor as Linda Sue suggested so she couldn't leave, but she's been working out lifting weights and I did not succeed.
I am settling for her memory imprinting on this, my new place.

Okay, looks like the hot-spot works. Anyone have any more info?
