I am at a local cafe so I can get an internet connection. Our DSL has been out for a day and a half and I do not know when it will be back up. The process of trying to get some assistance is as bad as not having a connection. It is pretty easy to get really upset when MY life gets disrupted by such inconveniences. Ordinarily, I would be fired up and getting all this mess straightened out. Instead, I have witnessed the inconvenience of Hurricane Ike, learned of friend’s diagnosis of Alzheimers, received news that another friend’s cancer has spread and hospice has been called in. I’ve watch grandparents taking guardianship of their young grandchild. I’ve talked with widow’s struggling with health and loneliness.
I guess I am really not out of commission at all. I just got distracted and confused for a moment.
