I’m writing this after 11:00 PM in a Word document because that doesn’t require Internet. Nearly EVERYTHING requires an Internet connection.
I was warned.
I received an email from my Internet provider, REMC, letting me know that the connection here would be intermittent for 8 hours starting after 10:00 PM for maintenance. Of course, I forgot about it until my connection to the world went dark.
Overnight shouldn’t be a big deal, right? ARG! I’d rather it be out during the day when there’s other things I could be doing. I could weed eat… or mow… or pull weeds from the flower beds. There’s LOTS of stuff to do during the day without a connection. Besides, that’s a great excuse for not doing work. 😉
I’m one of those people who turns the TV on when going to bed. Typically, I wake up around 3:00 or 4:00 AM and turn it off. (I normally don’t go to bed until 1:00 or 2:00 AM.) I watch TV to take my mind off of work and real-life BS. My son calls it murder porn – the channels are either ID or Oxygen. Nothing like a serial killer to lull one to sleep.
But no.
Tonight (which is last night for those of you playing along at home), there’s no TV because my services are all streaming. There’s no book to listen to because I forgot to grab a new one. My phone service in the barndo isn’t such that a hot spot is an option either. So here I sit, thinking about how addicted I am to high-speed Internet.
And finally… that deck that may or may not be done by Christmas…
Tim said he’d be finished today. I’d bet $100 that he’ll be here the next 3 days at least. His sole accomplishment yesterday was eating the bacon sandwich I fed him and getting a gate up.
