   What a nightmare!
I am finally back online. Had to go the entire holiday weekend without internet. I did use the computer at John's office for a couple of hours. When I went back the next day to try to log on the sites I had spent time on were blocked. Go figure. The corporate office monitors web traffic and it got pinged. Not a surprise but whatta pain!

So I ended up crashing at my brother's house for a bit. He and John played some Halo and I waited for days while waiting for his dial up connection to load each page. I now have a high appreciation of my high speed internet connection. I haven't used dial up in years. When you are using it everyday your tolerance of the time it takes is much greater than that of someone who is spoiled by fast connection. I really do feel bad for you guys who are using dial up. May you all be blessed with high speed internet soon!

You all know what my attitude is like, I can always find a silver lining. Because of my forced hiatus from the internet I actually had time to rest my sore joints. I noticed the time away from the computer did make me feel a bit better. On the plus side I did buy one of those swing benches so I spent a lot of time outside in the backyard on the new swing reading manga and enjoying the sunshine. It was good. ^_^

Well, I have a ton of stuff to catch up on. Hope everyone is doing well and life is good. I love you all and it's good to be back. ^_^ ::huggles::
