Missing from
action
In case you
haven’t noticed I have been missing from this group for the last few days.
Although it was interesting to see what would happen it was not intentional. It
seems Century Link decided it was time for me to take a break. Neither my
internet nor my land phone had power. For the last five months, dealing with
the pandemic, social media had been my main source of communication with the
world at large. My dog and cats don’t talk that much!
Actually my
phone wasn’t a great loss. It was a pleasant change not to deal with all the
unwanted spam calls I had been getting. I do have a track phone for
emergencies, but rarely use it. It is how I called for help from Century Link and
was told it would be several days before they could fix the problem in the
line.
As far as my
computer goes I remembered that I could still use Word to write, which is how I
am composing this piece. Where there is a will there is a way, they say. Even though
I can’t use Netflix I can watch Hallmark movies on TV and I have a Kindle to
catch up on the books I have stored there. Reading some of my word documents
actually amazed me at how good they are and I once again asked myself- did I
write that?
Before this
new disaster, the first thing in the morning I would grab a cup of tea and
check on what was happening on Facebook and the groups I belong to. That was a
really hard habit to break. Instead, I turned on Good Morning America to see
what was going on in the world. After viewing the horrible things that were
occurring elsewhere I decided I could deal with the loss of the internet and my
phone for a few days.
I also
decided it was a good opportunity to see if anyone noticed that I was missing
from action. I know my family wouldn’t. Perhaps this situation was simply to
remind me that family is more than biology.
I accidentally
noticed a day early that the Century Link line problem is fixed. Yay!! It’s
great to be back!
