Good morning! It’s around 5am, but I’ve been up for a couple of hours. That’s okay though, as I slept really well. Today is a doctor appointment, but afterwards is the real fun. The technician from my internet company is coming by to fix my internet. They said if the problem lies with me they are charging me $75. They better not try to lie about the real fault because my IT friend (he runs the IT department at a local university) assured me the problem is not on my end.
I’m not looking forward to dealing with them, but it has to be done. Any unpleasant tasks on your radar today? How about pleasant things?

Good morning Sadie and Amber.
I've been awake all night but have been watching movie clips. Pretty said she'd got to go to the Family Center this morning and will ride her new ebike there on the backroads. (She wants to avoid traffic on the main streets. Thankfully, one block down and about a mile on the country road will take her right to their front door.) I THINK she's filing her paperwork for SNAP benefits again. Mine isn't due until two weeks from now so she'll have to make that ride again then.
As far as I know, we don't have anything else we have to do this week. Next week I have two tests at the hospital and two doctor appointments. One with my doctor here and one with the neurologist in Springfield.
I hope you both have a wonderful day!

Yeah, I know... I'd let somebody else enjoy the staples right now. I keep catching them on loose strings from my mattress. Pretty said they still look fine but I can feel them every time they catch a little bit.
I should have asked one of the nurses if I could bring a friend when I go back in the hospital again. it's only supposed to be for a day and night but that's long enough...

Sadie is precious. Taking my sister an anniversary treat. They celebrate 40 years of marriage this Sunday. Hope your day goes smoothly.

I am going to go sit in a chair with a fan on and maybe sleep a half hour, or watch a game show.

Ugh! The internet and computers drive me crazy. I had to spend $300 to get extra protection, then my printer gave out (no print of blue ink) and now my laptop is hanging on one hinge. I may have to invest in a new one but the prices are NOT going down.
I wish we didn't have to rely so heavily on computers but with the volunteer work I do it is a necessity.

Sadie looks a bit suspicious in her photo. She's cute though. Good luck at the doctor and with the internet people. My internet drops more than it should, but have not done anything to try to get it fixed, as that is aggravating. Nothing unpleasant today unless I choose to clean, not really a fan.

Sadie looks like she's wondering why anyone would be awake at that hour! ?? At least you got a good night's sleep, which always makes dealing with appointments and service calls a little easier. I hope the technician is honest about the problem and doesn't try to blame your equipment just to justify a fee. Having an IT expert friend on your side is definitely a bonus. Hopefully the doctor appointment goes smoothly and by the end of the day you'll have reliable internet again.

I can't even imagine being up at 5am and starting my day
I hope the internet problem is an easy fix and you get your internet back with no cost to you. I'd be lost without my internet and never in a million years would I think I relied on internet for so many things.
Hi Sadie (sending pets from me and Mush) and hugs for your momma
