We did get high speed internet—that last post was so fast and easy! I’m also patting myself on the back a little, because I posted every day this month—by far a new record for me. It was kind of hard, but fun—don’t know if I’m going to be able to keep it up, though!

I know that in the grand scheme of things, having had only dial-up all these years is really not the worst thing that can happen to a person. Admittedly I get a lot done while waiting for things to download, or pictures for my blog to upload. And maybe I’ve learned a little about patience after all these years. But my excitement about getting high speed internet has reached a fever pitch—I feel like I am about to join a club whose doors have been closed to me all this time. A club where people click on links to youtube videos, listen to podcasts, stream music. A club where you don’t have to meticulously get rid of every single ad on a page before it will load. A club where your friends don’t stop talking when you walk in the room, and cast pitying glances your way. (OK, that last was a little overdone, but you get the gist.)

Frontier was supposed to be here Tuesday. They didn’t show. I called and they swore they’d be here Wednesday. They didn’t show Wednesday, either. Now they’ve sworn they’ll be here today. I even got an automated call from them yesterday, reminding me to be here today (maybe I should remind THEM to be here today?) This could be the day.

I’d better run clean the house and make a pitcher of tea for the technician when he gets here! I wonder if I should bake some blueberry muffins….
