Stuff and such

Well, my internet is not entirely cured, but it's much better today. The Cable Guy did some kind of speed test on my connection, and so it's working faster, and I'm able to navigate better. But he said it may still go out in the evenings when the temps drop (along with our upper TV channels and our phone) until they can get an outside crew to our neighborhood to do something to the box, which is apparently getting too MUCH signal for some reason, messing everyone up around here.

I'm off work today and tomorrow, but the DH is working, won't be home till after 1AM. The house is very quiet with him gone, except for the furnace popping and snapping. I've done some writing and knitting today, and uploaded some new fanfic onto my Nook.

I'm going to reheat some leftover baked chicken and half a leftover baked potato with a salad for my supper tonight.

So, anyway, that's what's up!
