Oh No!! No Internet! What to Do???





Just when you think it couldn't get worse--yes, I know, getting the virus is--you wake up in the morning to find the Internet is down which means no connecting people in a relaxed way and many at the same time! Then, because I won't get Pandora on my monitor, I turn to the television because I need/want background noise and I never (never say never!) put on the TV until 5 or 6 PM. Sadly without the Internet, there is no TV. Oh, wait! I have an indoor antenna so I can get local networks but being spoiled those hands will drive me crazy!


Here I am without the Internet, no streaming TV shows or cable--what will I do with my time? Hey, I got it! I can go back to reading a book or 2 or 3! I can write stories! I can enjoy Mother Nature! I can eat! (Well better watch out for that!)


We get so spoiled with technology and think it is the end of the world if something goes wrong! It doesn't! We woke up this morning and we have many choices about how to spend the day and, even, do nothing if that is what we choose to do!


I am not lying--after 24 hours I had a great grin on my face when the Internet (and Netflix) came on!



Happy Passover Happy Easter

I can relate. I'm so used to the high-pitched computer whine that is constantly in my living room, but sometimes I wonder what it would look like if I could actually see all the electronic waves and radiating signals going on in there.

Sometimes quiet is nice!
