not dead, just unexpectedly offline

Monday, August 22, 2005

Our Internet connection was rudely interrupted when our phone line got switched to the new house last Friday and the backup wireless system failed to get reception at the new house. Who would have thought that a man that runs an ISP could find himself without network access? Poor man spent a large part of Sunday wandering around the backyard with the wireless modem and a very, very long extension cord, to no avail. There was no access to be had from on top of the grapevine, nor from the roof of the outside loo. I spent most of the weekend at IKEA. Why is it that when you go to IKEA once you then have to go three more times the next day? And it’s not over yet.

No news on the embryo yet, though it’s not looking that hopeful at this point. No news on the sock either - I have boxes to unpack, yarn storage to organise….

Outside loo? That’s a joke, right?

And you are so right about Ikea. Why I don’t know, but it’s true.

Fingers crossed for you on the embryo front! Remember, it’s not over until it’s over!

Congrats on the move……. you ‘ll be unpacked and settled in no time. Glad you are all ok and still praying for possitive embryo results.

Glad to hear your O.K. I’ve been checking your blog everyday for news. It’s not over yet…hang in there. Your lucky you have had this move to keep you busy. I’m sure I didn’t think about anything else for the whole 10 days or so..For me the wait was the hardest bit.
