For the couple of people who were kind enough to express their concern, no worries. I'm back online. My computer/phone modem went down last night. Just came back on. Sorry if I've caused anyone any undue worry--this happens about once every other month, for some reason. And, because the computer/phone are on the same modem, it sometimes takes me awhile to get hold of the repair department.

So, here I am, a very hot and steamy spring day. Have to work tonight. Just came home from paying National Grid their due, and a little shopping (have to keep the cats happy, ey? And that means their favourite food) and some small odds and ends. Now, I'm sitting here trying to cool off.

Just found out one of the kitchen windows (figures, the one on the shady side) is painted shut. Lovely. Means I'll have to buy a second fan. Gawd, I'm gonna' miss that air conditioner! Had to leave my air conditioner at the other place, because I couldn't phsyically carry it downstairs. I hate hot weather. It's nearly 90 degrees out there! (55 C.) Even with the breeze, it's still quite tropical.

It was really boring, not having the internet, last night. Really, really boring. I read a little, played some card games on the computer, wrote a short Dr Who chapter, watched a DVD, sat and listened to some music.

With my pay packet today, we all got a 7 dollar (3 pounds 50) off voucher for the local Six Flags amusement park--whoopie! I worked there for two seasons--trust me, the thrill is--mostly--gone, although they do have some new water-type ride called the tornado. Still, think I'd rather have the 7 bucks, ha-ha. My pay check was 10 dollars more than expected--small commission bonus.

While I was on the phone with Time-Warner Cable, I got a job offer (to apply for a position), to work as a CSR...good benefits, and they pay a dollar more an hour! And, they have an office in Glens Falls. Guess I'd better beef up my resume this weekend.

Heard from my Social Security Attorney=--surprisingly, a very nice guy--wow, a nice lawyer, who'da thunk it? Anyway, he gave me some excellent advice.

On the downside, I am having a claim filed against me by my student loan creditors and they are being rather nasty--will deal with them some more on Tuesday (Mon. being a national holiday).

Anyway, speaking of boring, this is a boring post, so I will leave off here. Cheers! If you're American, have a great holiday weekend!
