same_skyI was looking forward to a leisurely day of wasting time on the internet. I mean, I was really looking forward to it. I almost got out of bed when Magnus left at 7 to check mail and stuff, but decided that it would be silly to get up early just to get started on wasting time. By 8:20, when I really did get up, the connection was out and it's been out since. Usually, we have periods of functionality at least, but this is apparently a real outage in their network that they they're actually admitting to (as opposed to the normal way of things, when they have outages they just don't admit to.) I really don't understand why the first-line tech couldn't have told me that BEFORE I started climbing around behind the computer reconnecting things, but the second-line certainly did. They're so incompetent that it makes my head hurt.
So I guess I'll have to find other ways to entertain myself today. As it turns out, I didn't even have a chiropractor appointment like I thought I did. I went to check the time of my appointment (I can never remember if it's 11 or 11:15) and as it turns out, it's 11--next week. Think she made a mistake there, but oh well. If I'd known that, and especially if I'd known that I'd be internetless today, I might have gone to Lexington with M and spent the day shopping while he was at work. :) Or.. well, I might not have but I would at least have talked about it.
Oh, good grief. Dr. Phil has troubled young marriages on today--so in other words, my age or younger. Both were pregnancy-induced and they're having a hard time living with their choices now, yaddayaddayadda. The third couple are cotemplating marriage at age 22 and are wondering if they're old enough. Hell, no, they're not old enough. She says they've talked about it all, and he's going to take out the trash and she's going to pay the bills. He says that he knows marriage will be hard work "from my experience raising a puppy." WTF? Raising a puppy? What do puppies have to do with making a marriage work?! Having said that, I was 21 when we got married and so far, so good. Then again, I wasn't the typical example of a 21 year old, and Magnus didn't list "successfully raised a puppy" to his resume of marriage marketable skills. Also, we didn't really have a whole lot of choice in whether or not to get married or continue dating in any case. (Well, given that being apart indefinitely wasn't an option.) If I was feeling a little more rambly, I might go into this age thing further but I really don't have the energy, nor do I really care all that much about talk show guests. ;)
I've written this over the course of the day and by now it's 10 and I'm going to head off to bed. Naturally the connection isn't back.. it's been fourteen hours or something by now. I'm jonesing for my email here. Did I mention that we're a mile too far out for DSL? *sigh* Dialup is beginning to sound attractive again. *mumble* Poor me. < /whine> :)

Have an awesome day!
