Lightning!

I've had an interesting morning. Apparently the universe heard me talking to people about writing distractions and decided it would help me get some work done if it knocked out my internet connection with a bolt of lightning! The first couple hours I just figured I'd let things take their course, because the last time the Internet went out, it was out for my whole village because a transformer got hit. So I wrote 1000 words and worked on my newsletter awhile, and then around 10 I decided I'd really like to be able to plan my day, so I called the internet provider to see what was what.

Turned out it was not my whole village without internet. Just me.

I ran my modem over there and decided to bum around nearby since they said it would only take about an hour. I went shopping. Bought another bathing suit. Ran into my occasional assistant who was walking down the sidewalk reading a big book (you gotta love him) so we chatted for a while, then I ate at Subway, then I finally decided to stop back by and see if my modem was done yet.

They weren't sure what happened, but they updated the software and that seemed to do the trick, because I'm on now. Yay! I feel like my morning was shot. But I got to see my pal, I guess it's not a total loss.
