Tonight I'm grateful for telephones. And internet. Telephones and internet that work. For a few days we were without our phone and internet. (Miss me?) Apparently ATT had a major break in the system somewhere and the whole neighborhood was without digital power.
I'm intrigued at the progression of my emotions: first confusion, then dismay, followed closely by outrage. (How can they possibly do this to us? Don't they know that I have blogs to follow and videos of talking cats to watch and clips of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" to laugh at? What about all my loyal blog followers? How will they possibly survive without my witticismness and profoundosity?)
Funny, my emotions quickly ran to relief, at having an excuse not to check my email and keep up on my parenting lists. Then they went to apathy, with an almost palpable desire to stay disconnected from the world.
This is what my kids do for education when we don't have internet access.
So it was with mixed feelings that I came home to find my little brilliant green light blinking to say that all was right with the digital world.
Oh yay!
Oh darn.
Okay. Back to the real world.

Ouch! I've gotta hope the one on the lips wasn't too painful?
ReplyDeleteSometimes I long for an enforced disconnect; but then I always have my stupid iPhone and no true break.
Tsk tsk tsk, you should have had your hubby post a note to say that you were having technical difficulties. It came right on the heels of S falling ill and all of us were so worried!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I quite understand the ambivalence.
