Still no internet at home...
Dec. 26th, 2006 01:24 pmI'm at the library today, so not so much time to be online. I am skimming my flist when I can, and will try to comment when I have a bit more time.
Here's the internet situation: The DH was going to try and hook up our new DSL to his laptop for me, only to discover that none of the phone jacks are functional. The one phone in the house is an old one, and seems to be wired directly into the line! It must be 25-30 years old. As for cable, that's not hooked up yet, and if it does get hooked up, it will do no good, as we have yet to find the box the packers put my computer in. Seems they were *very* fond of marking boxes "misc." which is of no use when you are trying to find something specific. It took us three days to find the workings for our bed (we have one of those "Sleep-matic" ones)! It was in a box with stuff from the kitchen, of all things, and marked miscellaneaous of course!
So for the time being, I'll be popping in at either the library or the internet cafe to check on things!
danachan has been ever so kind about posting my holiday fic for me. Big huggses and squeezes for her! I *am* working on my Challenge 35 fic and Road to Edoras by hand, and hope to get a chance to type them in soon.
Anyway, I hope everyone had a lovely Holiday--we had a nice quiet one, very cozy! and I will check in again when I get the chance!
