I'm at home... on the internet. I'm happy.
For some reason, yesterday the cable went out again, for the second time in a week. The first time it was down for three days, this time apparently for about 24 hours. The internet, down. The cable, down.
What does this mean for me, you ask? Immediate anxiety. What am I to do? What am I gonna do for entertainment? Read a book...? psh. Groom myself? Who has the time.
The neighbor directly behind us is installing a swimming pool. As with most manual labor projects, a bunch of men huddled around some plans and talked about what needed to be done. The very next item on the agenda was to ignore anything that was vital in those plans and truck ahead with the current task. The vital point they ignored this time was the underground cabling where they were digging.
In their digging they managed to cut our cable (maybe others as well... who knows). So, for three days we were without cable and internet. Yesterday, the day after the man came out to fix our cable by running a new cable to some magical cable box, the cable went out again.
So, to my surprise (and my dad's) I came home and sat down at the computer out of habit. I punched up a website and wham, bam, thank you ma'am, there it was. I didn't even think about how amazing it was until I realized that I wasn't supposed to have internet today.
Here I sit in a state of pure bliss. Katie's coming into town in a few hours and I get to kill time with my other lady friend, my computer, until then. Who could ask for anything better?
