Today's posts are brought to you with thanks to Ryan from Comcast. Bless his heart, he totally rewired the cable on the outside of the house, and to the power pole this morning.
I took the day off from work, because the appointment was scheduled between 8-10 am. He tested everything in the house first and then went and took a look outside and asked me if there had been any updates to the cable that I was aware of. I've lived in the house for 15 years, before that Mark had lived in it since at least when mom died in 1985. I don't think anything has been updated since then. He said the cable was actually broken in some spots it was so old and worn out. He was amazed the internet had worked at all, but that definitely explains why I had trouble after less than a week.
I also rented a pick up truck today from Fountain Rental so I could take some stuff to Recomp. It always feels good to purge deadwood (so to speak). I also ran some errands around town that are not easy on the bus. Then I treated myself to a burger from Boomers, which I had been thinking about for months!
I hadn't driven since I rented a car for one day September of last year, and I'm thinking that I need to start doing this every month or so, just to be able to get out and break the routine. There are so many places that I miss going now, that I used to just hop in the car and go when the mood struck me. It still kind of blows my mind that it has been a little over a year now since the car went kaput.
