Internet-less, almost

Oh what a tangled web we weave...

This isn't actually under my desk, but a reasonable facimile.  I know because I have been lying on my back with a flashlight trying to get it all untangled and neatened up so I know what goes to what.  Why, you innocently ask?  Why indeed.  Because I got NO INTERNET all of a sudden.

For two days I have been inhaling dust bunnies down there and tracking back to wall sockets because something is wrong internet-wise, and when that happens I assume it's my fault so I do the complete check before calling for help.  Two days of that, then at 7 AM on Sunday morning I call because believe it or not, one can make contact at that hour.  Unfortunately it was with a Spanish speaking gal named Katrinka who chatted away with me in her native language I think (who can tell, I was also talking to a barrel echoing!) while she was diagnosing my issues from down in Houston.

THREE HOURS LATER I was still on the barrel-phone, and things were worser and worser.  We worked well together in spite of our language barrier-  she directed me and I did what I wanted and when lights went off or on I would announce it.  the bottom line is that I have to resort to a fixer-guy from Comcast visiting me on Tuesday.  Tuesday will make it six days with no internet.

So here's the thing:  even though the Airport is disconnected I found a wee faint signal that sort of drifts in and out, most likely from one of the BC students in the apartments across the street.  I figure I am getting the signal now because the patriots are playing so nobody is using the clouds.

So, that's what I am doing-  stuff off the net.  Just in case you were wondering where I am.  I am packing plastic bins for my move back to Florida, I am sorting and cleaning closets and refrigerators, and oh yes, this-

crrrrunch

A slight accident with my new car.  the garage cement corner picked the exact moment I was driving out to JUMP at my car and stave in the side.  In truth, some asshole with a large van was blocking some of the garage door and I had to pull left in a too tight situation.  Until I was stopped by the sickening crunch.  Tomorrow I must find someone to fix it.  I am sick over it, my pretty car all a crumpled mess.  (I'll have to get the picture up later, it's on the phone and I'm too lazy to go find it.) 

On a happier note, I got my collage picked up from the Brush Gallery, pulled my quilt and other collage off the hall wall and packed it all up, packed 2 big bins with stuff to haul in the car.  I finished off a scarf for a Christmas present and blocked it and am now thinking I want an i-cord edge.  I finished one of the sleeves on the coat, need yarn for the second one but will order in Florida.  Spent two days with different friends as I am jamming in as much as possible before time is up.  And internet is up.


Monday morning addendum: Just got the word that the damage to the car is gonna cost $4000. I am weeping over crunched car.

PS:  Didja notice this post is all black and white except for a blue cord in the electrical mess above?  That's why I am using blue font now-  because it 'goes'!  Just a little design decision in a week when I am making so few.
