One Of The Worst Weeks :(

I am still trying to catch up with all my sites after having one of the worst weeks that I have ever had!!!! Two weeks ago we had an ice storm where I live that ended up knocking out the power to pretty much everyone around. The roads were almost impossible to drive but since I work at an airport we had to make it in. We stuck it out in our house the first night with no power but knew that we could not keep staying as it was getting much colder. After about two days people around us began to get their power back so we were getting hopeful but every time that we would go back and check ours and it would not be on. It took a week before our power was restored. So we ended up spending a lot of time in a hotel which added up to a lot of money in a hurry!! I am glad to be home but trying to catch up on everything has been a nightmare!! Going without the internet for about a week was awful!! I never realized just how addicted to it I was!!!! I am hoping that the rest of the winter will be ice storm free!!!! Have you ever had to go without the internet for awhile and didn't know what to do?

A few times where it wasn't my choice, and a few times where it was. Now I take periodic internet sabbatacles, as well as news fasts. (Meaning I don't watch or read the news for periods of time). It's really a good way to pull away from the drama of online, as well as the negativity of the internet. Don't get me wrong, the internet can be a wonderful tool but it can drag you into the quagmire if you let it. I bet you feel much more relaxes now that you've had a break from it.
