Barely Surviving



Thursday I washed one of our outside walls. It was windy and cold but I figured I'd be warm enough while working. I was right!

I used a brush that attaches to the hose to clean the sidings. It's difficult to control where the water goes, so I ended up getting soaked every time I was cleaning the upper part of the wall. Not a problem!

The Internet antenna got wet.  No problem right? It's outside so it is exposed to rain, snow, bugs, so I didn't take extra care, it was just water. Big problem!

Since then, the Internet is out, completely out, there is no more saving or looking at the “cloud”. It is so bad that if I want to know the weather, I have to look OUTSIDE!

I am learning new skills, like learning to talk with PEOPLE, instead of chatting. How are you supposed to show happy or sad face without using :-) or :-( ?? and I went to play pickleball twice in the past 2 days.

My friends must start getting sick of hearing about my internet problem, but I'm just trying to cope, I'll whine until it's fixed.

We even went for a tour of the lake on our boat. Life can be so tough!

How are you folks doing? Don't bother answering; I don't have Internet I won't be able to read any answer before next week...

This post was possible because one of our friend let me used their functional connection to the Internet, lucky them! I must say though that my antenna is much cleaner than theirs.
