We still donโt have internet.
I am still using my phone as a hotspot.
Someone from the phone company stopped by this morning. I got excited and ran out to see if he was here to do the repairs,โฆ.
He laughed at me.
Laughed!!!
He told me that there were a lot of problems all over and he had just come by to see what was needed. Whatโs needed is the big trucks with the cherry-pickers and new cables and no way would it be done until Thursday at the earliest, More likely it would be next week.
And it probably canโt be done anyway until the electric company finishes their work which wonโt be anytime soon because they have a lot of more critical things to fix first.
He laughed againโฆ..
I laughed with him.
Really, what else can one do?
Relax, enjoy the fire, the candles, the wine, be grateful for electricity, pet the dog, read a bookโฆ..
With that thoughtโฆ..

ย Merry Christmas
ย Happy Holidays

Have a wonderful Holiday Seasonย
Merry Christmas, Katie. I rather envy your no electricity for Christmas. When the eastern US lost electricity several years ago, we had four of the quietest days ever. It was pretty wonderful, all things considered.
Itโs happening often enough here lately that Iโm planning things to do (reading a book). There are benefits to forced relaxation lol
Hope your holidays were wonderful
Merry Christmas, Katie!
Enjoy your freedom from the internet, basking by the fire.
I didnโt really want to watch those Christmas movies anyway lol.Hope your festive season was lovely.
It was, Katie; it was, thank you. Even though we DID have internet to try to interrupt the calm.
Happy New Year!
