Hello and Happy Sunday!
On the Home Front: Still trying to get all of Trip's paperwork and shit done for his Fall registration at the local community college. Ugggghhh. The asshole NCDOT mowers hit the AT&T box at the end of the road again and rain got down inside making our internet intermittent and slow when it was up. I think it finally dried out. Plus, we had two techs out yesterday so I guess it's fixed? We'll see. Some appt's coming up for this week, plus Thurs will be grocery day. Not looking forward to people-ing.
Touching Nature: 2.5" of rain from Monday night through Tuesday night. We needed it, but really didn't need it all at once. Temps have been awesome since the rain though. However, it's starting to creep back up to 90º. It's been a relief.
Book News: I have 3 reviews to write. Reading is going slowly for some reason. Staying steady at 16 books behind on my Goodreads challenge. lol I was chosen to receive a paperback ARC of Dianne Duvall's new Immortal Guardians book Death of Darkness. Just squee-ing while I wait for it to get here. I know I will devour it as soon as I get my hot little hands on it. I'll have reviews starting again on Friday. I don't have as many ready for August as I'd hoped. I may have to take another break sooner than I'd like.
Don't Touch That Dial!: Moving right along with the Psych rewatch and the boys and I have started season 3 of our Star Wars: The Clone Wars rewatch. Thank the stars Anakin and Ahsoka finally got new outfits. And somehow Ahsoka has a 2nd light saber which I haven't heard an explanation about yet.
At the Flicks: Nope
Cyberspace Playground: Nope
Randomness: LOLOLOL
Carol's Nuggets of Wisdom: Wool dryer balls are a pretty good invention (that I use without dryer sheets most of the time), but I'd really like to know how they manage to get inside pockets. Because wtf.

I hope so, too. :D
DeleteGood luck with the paperwork!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your internet is up and running again. I freak out when mine develops issues. I sometimes feel like I live on the internet...
Hoping we got it all taken care of this time. Just need to wait for an email now.
DeleteI do live on the internet. Mostly. lol
Paperwork can be so frustrating, I hope Trip appreciates all your hard work.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week
He's schizoaffective, so it's extra paperwork for him and he doesn't drive, so I do all the schlepping and help with the maze of adulting. I know he appreciates me though. :)
DeleteWe had something similar happen when construction workers hit a line. Internet was down all over the Eastern Shore. Made it hard to get anything done at work and customers were as frustrated as we were. Took almost 24 hours to fix it. Shakespeare's Witch looks wicked. I have to do the paperwork and such for my son and can appreciate how difficult it is for you. He wasn't able to attend college. Too big of a challenge and I'm glad Trip is able to:)
ReplyDeleteThe mowers chewed up the box back in May and it was down 8 days. They are ridiculous! Though part of the problem was AT&Ts absolutely clunky-as-fuck customer service. It took them 5 of those days just to figure out the problem even though I TOLD them what was wrong and it was clearly visible damage. Grrrr! But I feel your and everyone else's pain. So much is done online now that having it down for any length of time is supremely inconvenient.
DeleteNow that we're doing the final financial aid paperwork his anxiety is kicking in. We'll do one step at a time and see how it goes.
AH! I'm sorry they hit the AT&T box. LIKE, AGAIN? Dang. Hopefully that's the last of it. Congrats on being picked to receive an ARC of the new Dianne Duvall! Hope you enjoy it and that this week treats you well!
ReplyDeleteIKR?! The tech that came out said AT&T bills the county and the county just pays the bill. How fucked up is that? Talk about fiscal irresponsibility. I would fire everyone who did it and hire new people.
