Internet, sweet Internet
Finally!
We've had power back since Sunday, but we just now finally got cable/net connect back. M is working on getting e-mail back up and running, though getting it all sorted out will take a while--five days without a server means a lot of backed-up stuff.
We had a scare this morning when power went out again for an hour. I expect that sort of thing may happen from time to time until they finally get everything in the region running the way it should.
Fortunately, it looks like the other storm we were expecting has petered out, and all we're left with the next couple of weeks is our normal cold drizzle. I can live with that.
I'm a bit irritated that so much of my time off has been taken up with this mess so far. But in a way, it's been a good thing. I got to commune with M and the cats a lot, got a lot of puttering around the house done and engaged in some low-tech amusements. Plus a bunch of gift shopping and such. It was also a good excuse to clean out and re-stock the fridge and freezer--Sir Alton would've made his disapproving frowny face if he'd seen the ancient stuff in there before.
I'm trying to get a cold, which is making all this more difficult, but I think I'll be alright. I just don't want to go back to school. Yeah, it's still 20 days away, but the clock is ticking and I don't feel nearly relaxed enough, yet.
