Short Lived

Well, having internet working at our house was very short lived. We only had it a day and a half. Wednesday night at about 11:30pm, I woke up to a big storm going through. Well after our experience last week of being struck by lightning, I decided that I really had better unplug the computer, modem, internet phone, and printer. I didn't really feel like losing these very important items if the house were to be hit again.

Well, we didn't get hit by lightning again. However, Thursday morning when I went to plug everything back in, the power cord to the modem came apart in my hands. It's the type that has a box like thing on the end of it that you plug into the wall. Well, the box just completely came apart, and even after putting it back together, it wouldn't work, so therefore the modem wouldn't come on. Ugh!

So, now I am back at Steve's office building in the food court using the free wireless internet. Supposedly, our driver was going to go to the internet company today and exchange the power cord. I'm hoping he is successful...having internet again at the house was a big tease! I'm really impatient not having it knowing that a stupid little power cord is the only thing preventing me!

On a good note, our satellite dish was fixed yesterday. So, now we have TV again. I was getting a little tired of watching movies...most of which my husband was picking out...he's the type who picks out movies to watch just because he knows I won't like them! How sweet he is!
