Day 95
I have been on the go – literally and figuratively – as I have just moved half way across the country. Okay, a third of the distance of an actual cross country move but it seems like I moved the entire distance … and then some.
I am at my parents’ house … using my dad’s computer – not always convenient for me or for him – and since everything has been saved to the desktop it is slower than molasses in January … in well, Chicago. Which means this computer is pretty slow! I think I started this blog when the dinosaurs were still alive and roaming the planet!
I am not in my new place yet. I am waiting telephone service … and tv service and (can’t wait) INTERNET SERVICE! Unpack the party confetti and get it ready because I am going to throw some on the installer next Tuesday! I can’t wait as I am feeling SO … unplugged!
I am not much of a phone person – it’s too inconvenient, too inopportune of timing or just plain too late! I do not text – big fingers, lousy eyesight, no patience. I am an emailer. I LOVE to email. Lately I’ve been just too tired to email but would if this computer were faster. I start one email and it is so slow in responding that I am finding myself falling asleep over the keyboard waiting for the next inbox post to come up on the screen!
So, without wireless (yet) at my new place and not having the time to pop into a Starbucks and do some emailing and work on my laptop (as I could, should and WILL) … I am feeling rather antsy to get unpacked and normalized and, once again, PLUGGED IN!
I don’t know when all this emailing started … how many years ago … but I do remember the conversation I had with my friend, Sue, who told me that I really should give it a try.
“Pshaw.”… is what I think I said to her! Imagine what my life would be or would have been, oh those many moons ago, had I not “given it a try”?! Of course, I would be stuck in the Ice Age, speaking of being with the dinosaurs, of ancient snail mailing and phone calls and I wouldn’t be doing THIS (blog) and I’d have several more hours a day to do other things … like buy stamps.
All I can say is, “Thanks, Sue!” for suggesting that I give this new fangled technology a try!
And with that I’m off to bed. To dream of fast connections and the day, soon, when I will be up in my own office, fingers flying, sending email after email into cyber space with a deep sense of satisfaction knowing that I am no longer … unplugged.
