There and Back Again, a Zombie's Tale
So I'm back, and it hasn't been four days yet.
We're not sure if this is temporary or what.
The zombies ate my internet.
Woke up Sunday morning to the power being out again. I had a minor panic attack. I was convinced that we were going to be stranded and not be able to get out and have to eat the dogs, and then they'd find us in a thousand years, frozen with gnawed dog carcasses nearby.
I might have been a bit irrational.
Power came back on, but the internet just didn't. Which meant we had no phone, either, since we use Vonage.
Thank goodness for cell phones. Called the cable company... they say that the first appointment they have is Thursday. And that if it's not on our end, it could be anywhere from our house to the nearest junction whatsit. And could possibly be a month to track down and fix.
Talk about panic attacks.
But something somewhere did something. I have no more specifics than that... the net started working this afternoon. We did nothing different, they claim they did nothing different... wanted to know if we wanted to close out the trouble ticket. Um. No. Let's wait and see what happens between here and Thursday, kay, thanks.
So. I am back, hopefully for good. If not, I'm grabbing phone numbers so I'm not all out of touch again. *g*
Thanks, Dae, for keeping me sane and letting everyone know what was going on. *smooch*
