It's been a long week. And it's not over yet. Hopefully I'll have funds to get my internet and cable turned back on tomorrow. Believe me, I'll be scampering to the bank and zooming home to call BrightHouse.

Meanwhile, no major news. GK set me a "new" phone system---it's the kind where the extension runs off the house's electricity. Woohoo, cordless phones at last! I may be the last person on the North American continent who's still using an old-fashion spiral-cord phone.

I wasn't expecting it---went out to check my mail this morning, and it was sitting on my front porch. I picked it up, shook it cautiously, determined that it was MUCH too heavy to be small, unmarked bills, and opened it to find the aforementioned phone.

One thing that's keeping me somewhat sane is the fact that they've only turned off the digital cable---the hard-wired cable works fine, so I'm not missing anything. No internet, but the phone still functions.

It's probably good that I'm not checking my email fifty times a day---right? It's like detox for net addiction. (This would be a very bizarre 12-step support group...now I'm picturing the LOLcatz sitting in a circle and speaking in text gibberish. Hilarious---YMMV.)

I'm sure there were other things I meant to talk about, but I can't concentrate properly surrounded by a bunch of people, and my timer is clicking steadily downward.

More when I can....
