We'll I'm back. And we've got Comcast back. Hear now the newz...

I had an all day meeting today in cHARLOTtesville. So there's that.

Wife stayed home to work and to wait for Comcast technician to arrive.

The following took place between the minutes of 11:30 and 11:35 a.m....

- Wife gets yet another email from her boss (they'd been coming all morning)
- Nana begins to throw up again
- Wife goes ahead and calls the doctor
- Comcast lady arrives
- Dog commences to defend the premises
- Nana ~calls~ wife to say "I'm sick"

I'm not making this up. It all happened at once.

The resultz...

Wife took Nana to the doctor. Turns out that apparently what had been making her sick was the gout medicine the ER doctor told her to start taking again. Regular doctor said that was way more than the normal dosage. So we've taken her off that. 'Course she had one of 'em with her tonite and took it anyway.

Comcast lady got the Internet service to come back into the house. She also hooked up the router. Both the pc and the laptop ~said~ they were getting signals. But the Internet wouldn't connect. She kept thinking I had something blocking it. So I'm on the phone with her from cHARLOTtesville telling the ~expert~ things to try.

None of them worked.

When I got home tonight, I unplugged the modem and powered down both the PC and the laptop.

Both are working just fine.

With the power off? Wow...

Good grief. Um, no offense, but considering your luck maybe I shouldn't have invited you to the wedding.

Just kidding - I'll take my chances. I can use all the friends I've got :-)

Oh dear...

Well, welcome back to the internet! And I do hope Nana's finally going to be able to feel better.
