Rain fell during the night with lighter sprinkles during the day. My walks were purposeful today. One went to the drugstore for seniors discount day. Later I headed to a restaurant to pick up some takeout supper -- too lazy and hungry to cook something reasonable, so had someone else cook for me today. Leftovers are great!
We have been experiencing wifi disruptions over the past week. Today they moved from frustrating to unbearable. The TV signal, internet wifi and voip telephone were off more than they were on today. The signal is lost and then if I wait 15-30 minutes it is found for about 10-15 minutes and then is lost again. I called the provider and waited for 20 minutes when the home phone went dead. I redialed on the cell and waited another 30 minutes to speak to someone. We walked through their trouble shooting guide, even though I'd done most of this already <sigh>. When the tv signal returned (likely on its own) the help line person declared the problem fixed and said if I had further problems they were there 24/7 to 'help'. The internet signal lasted less than 5 minutes and the tv for about 10. I was so frustrated, I couldn't phone and be human. So -- went out for a walk. When I returned all items were working and seemed to function until I fell asleep.
This rather trying day left me feeling so frustrated that my thought processes seemed not to work. As a non-tech nerd, I felt useless, though I had done exactly what the guy on the phone did. Trouble was it just didn't work, so the difficulty was outside my control -- something I seemed to have trouble with today. When things were working by the time I thought about heading off to bed, I tried to revisit the day and think of tomorrow as a day when things will get better. These thought came along with a few lines from a song -- on an album I played so much it nearly wore out. Stay safe. Enjoy!
Don't Stop -- Fleetwood Mac
