When it rains it pours and lightning strikes too!

Lightning struck my computer (yes, I have a surge protector) so my computer is broken. I have tried everything I can think of to get my husband’s computer connected to the internet but to no avail.

I had to use a library computer to tie up a few loose ends. :(

The Verizon Fios repairman is supposed to come tomorrow between 8am and 6pm. I sure hope I don’t hear a knock on my door at 8am!

At any rate, I’ll be out of commission for who knows how long.

Darn, I miss my spell checker! I’ll have to check this when I come back, hehe. I found out the definition of “lightening” though by checking Dictionary.com:

noun Medicine/Medical. the descent of the uterus into the pelvic cavity, occurring toward the end of pregnancy, changing the contour of the abdomen and facilitating breathing by lessening pressure under the diaphragm

That isn’t the type of “lightning” I was talking about, hehe.

I don’t see anything in the rules about a time limit either… :)

I’ll get around to it when my home life settles down… for now I’m just lucky to be on the web at all…

Yep, ’tis the season here in Florida… lol, yesterday when it started storming I unplugged my loaner computer - too bad I didn’t do that a few days earlier…

I’m on my last legs until I decide whether to buy a new computer or try to have mine repaired…

I can’t start my day right without one. I guess, all I could say is I share your agony. It’s always been a huge part of my life. I hope yours will get fixed soon. For now, I’ll leave mine on the hand of the experts.
