A while back I mentioned we haven't been able to have the desktop on while a laptop was running and vice versa. The last three weeks the internet and phone connection has been like a yoyo. At first I thought it was due to some storms we had but it persisted so I called the cable company. They came out last Saturday and said our signal was weak and needed to be worked on outside. Meanwhile they had trucks working up and down the closest main street.

Tonight we managed to have a desktop and two laptops online without any connection issues. I told my husband how thankful I was for it. And then 20 minutes later a homeless man came by with his shopping cart to pick through my neighbor's trash. I feel about 4 inches tall right now.
