I'm participating in The Sunday Post, hosted by The Caffeinated Book Reviewer; Showcase Sunday hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea; Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews; and Bought Borrowed and Bagged, hosted by TalkSupe. All of these memes are about sharing the print
and digital books received and/or posts and events on the blog.
Oy, the week started well. On Monday I had my two post surgical check up for the lung surgery I had
done two summers ago. My lung capacity showed improvement and I've had
fewer asthma exacerbations and they've been milder. The doctor was quite
excited and happy. I've been happy with the results and the
improvements. Now if only there were a cure for asthma!
Then Tuesday night after I went to bed, my modem died. I've had no internet access at home since then. Eeep. I'm typing this up from the library Saturday afternoon. I expect I'll be here until closing time at 5, catching up on blog stuff, client work, and personal online matters. According to the UPS site, my modem will arrive late Monday afternoon. So, if all goes well when I install the new device, I should be back online some time Monday night. I went to a local coffee shop chain Thursday between jobs to take advantage of their free wi-fi but their internet security declared the blog to be a pornography site and I couldn't access it. :D Ah well, I had access to my email and most other sites that I needed. I've also gotten a LOT of reading done without the net to distract me. :D

Thanks
for visiting and happy reading! :)
Bea!
It's always interesting when you lose net access and realize how dependent we are on it at times. :) Such a pain... good luck with the new modem and hope you're back up and running soon. I hate doing blog stuff from the library,it's always easier at home for some reason.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's so much easier form home. Later today, if all goes well, I'll be back online at home.
DeleteHope your modem will arrive on time, Bea! I know how much a limited access to the Internet is a pain in the butt :) Have a lovely weekend, sweetheart! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Karina! It IS a pain. I hope you're having a great weekend.
DeleteLOL Oh Bea. You naughty blogger! ::snort:: Hope the modem gets there early! Gah that will do a girl in.
ReplyDeleteI'm a naughty blogger, riiiight. :P
DeleteI'm still waiting, waiting, waiting....
Its horrible when your modem starts to die on you. I hope your new modem gets to you soon. You got some interesting books.

Thanks Grace!
DeleteI'm sorry about your modem. Even the idea of going without internet makes me a bit twitchy though I do hate being so dependent on it! Hope the install goes smoothly. With all the crazy search terms you get I'm not surprised you've been declared pornography! Though seriously I can imagine that's annoying. Glad to hear your lung capacity is doing well. I have asthma but have been lucky with the severity of it. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI've been twitchy indeed! And yes, the search terms people use are quite naughty sometimes but it is frustrating not to be able to work from the coffee shop.
DeleteI'm pretty excited about how well my asthma is doing. My life was in the pits for a few years because of it and now I can go days without having to think about it or deal with it.
I'm sorry to hear about your computer problems. I know it can be a real pain in the neck when things don't work the way they are supposed to.
ReplyDeleteI hope things are better this week.
Thanks Yvonne. :)
DeleteGreat news about your health I hope you'll always be in the clear moving forward
ReplyDeleteThanks, that's my hope too. :)
DeleteThanks Heidi. My old modem decided to work so I'm online with that and reading the directions for setting up the new.
ReplyDeleteApples Should be Red has a gorgeous cover! And I am eager to read the new Melinda Leigh books. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog. Happy Thanksgiving!
Devil's photos..what have you been up too Bea? LOL Too funny that your site was deemed pornographic.Glad to see you are up and running again.
