*at 5 a.m.*

Yay! We're back on the grid here in Schwenksville & the internet is back up & running. Thank you, Verizon! It's amazing how productive 5 a.m. can be. Yesterday I woke up to no internet or tv. I probably could have gone days without realizing the cable was gone, but internet - yikes. We're a Netflix house. Usually 5:30 is amazing time spent with my flat iron & a show. (I'm working my way through "Vampire Diaries"). So yesterday I was all - flat iron & customer service chat on my iPhone.

Before heading out the door, I was able to get dressed, hair calmed, coffee made & troubleshoot/schedule a visit from our friendly Verizon repairperson. Awesome. I did have to chiggity check myself a couple times during our chat. First of all, I am pretty handy with electronic mishaps. I can fix things that require rebooting, unplugging & replugging, reseting, etc. I like to determine the problem before calling for help. In the past these things have included - surged router & cable box, broken PVC pipe to the well pump (that included some yiping & an unexpected shower in the basement) & the oh so common shattered screens on Apple devices. I was a little annoyed when my online chat buddy needed to ask me if we had power. SO frustrating to be unable to respond sarcastically through chat. [i.e. - "omg - THAT'S why the internet & cable don't work...seriously dude?]

A few extra trips up & down the steps & there was an appointment for this morning. Kept quite promptly, I may add. Little snafu with finding the house...my patience was kind of iffy on that call too. If you ask me if I am at the incorrect address, I WILL say no. Furthermore...yes, you DO need to let me know which direction you are heading on a road so I can confirm or deny that you're heading in the "right direction". Oh good gravy. But alls good in the neighborhood. Note: Last time I SPOKE to a Verizon rep to arrange service, she told me I was "wonderful". I need her on speed dial.

There were all of these things that I wanted to do last night that required internet. I decided on reading, but then couldn't find the book I wanted to read. TYPICAL! The later in the week, the more scattered my brain. I'm exhausted. Pretty sure Cal is exhausted too. This is him right now.

We'll call this photo - Falling Asleep By Accident

 

 

Highlight of yesterday that I missed the chance to blog about - I met up with another mom  who recently lost her son. We went for an afternoon walk. We had never met before, although emailed briefly before he passed & I had to reach out after I heard the news of his passing. What a wonderful momma. I am looking forward to another walk or 50. The ability to talk as grieving moms one on one & without worry of judgement is priceless. So glad that I listened to my gut & sent that email. Little sunshine, little exercise & some good company. Easy recipe for good times.
