Apparently, that wasn't the only thing that was cancelled

Dear Friends in Christ -

I've missed posting these past couple of days because our DSL service was cancelled! UGH!

We didn't do it. The phone company doesn't know who did it. But someone put in a disconnect order. It took the phone company the push of an electronic button to cut our service off - and three days and a visit to the house to put it back on.

The epiphany in the midst of this saga: that perhaps the reason something simple like this throws me off my game is that I'm already living too close to the edge. Of course, I could have posted from my office, but didn't have any extra 15-minute space in which to collect my thoughts and type. I could have posted at a coffee shop, but didn't have time on the way to or from picking up the kids to add that in.

Of course, this is why I hate interruptions like this so much: I'm forced to see things from a slightly different angle. If everything goes as planned, I don't have to run into myself coming around the corner - and be challenged to learn something . . . again.

With "service restored," I'm back on the wireless waves. And I'm hoping that things will run smoothly for a day or two. I'm not sure I can stand too many "close encounters of the grace kind" too close together.

Onward and upward!
Faithfully,
Janet+
