Because My Life Isn't Complicated Enough
After a restless night, I woke up this morning to discover that the guys who cut the lawn had inadvertantly cut the cable line. That means no cable television, no internet service, and NO HOME PHONE LINE.
So now, in the midst of my family crisis, my house is an island of isolation. I can't do work (no internet), I can't distract myself with television (no cable), I can't be sure that people can get ahold of me (no home phone).
Geez, it's not been a very good start to the week.
On the other hand, I did finally get to talk to my dad, who commiserated over the cable line. He's off to do more invasive tests (like ones where they poke a little wire into his brain), since the MRI and CAT scan gave back "suspicious but inconclusive" results). He feels fine--just with a slight headache which he attributes to not being allowed a cup of morning coffee.
So for now, we're all in stasis mode. I'll be here for at least the rest of the day, and hopefully by tomorrow the cable will be restored. In the meantime, I'm sitting in a Starbucks with internet access and my cell phone, which has overnight become my new best friend.
