Wow, it has been quite a while since I sat down to write about our life on the farm…you may think that I am just way too busy but in fact, I got lazy. You see, we didn’t sign up to have internet in our cottage – so in order to check my email or browse online or post, I needed to walk a whopping hundred yards to the office to do so. I was pretty good about this in the beginning but then, well, I got lazy.
So, after nine months of living out here on the farm, I finally decided it was time to plug back in to the world wide web. I avoided doing so for a variety of reasons – but mainly because it’s a pain in the ass. And this exercise did fair any better.
I dialed up the phone company to hook us up, hoping that it would be a simple switch (the cottage has had internet in the past). Of course, this was not to be, but not for the reasons I expected.
This little town I now call home did not have any more portals for me to hook into. I had to have the poor guy on the phone explain this to me several times – no portals? So, you are telling me that all the people behind me that may move to this town or decide one day they want to be connected to the outside world simply cannot? Are you serious?
Yes, as he so patiently explained, indeed they cannot and either can you.
Toto, we are not in Kansas anymore. I guess this is one of the oh so subtle downsides to living in a small town.
In the end, I purchased a router extender to extend the service from the office to our house. Et voila, I now have the whole world in my living room again.
It feels good. It feels new and fresh. I can look something up in a click of a button again! Hooray for technology!
In any event, I hope this allows me to start writing again….so if you are still out there dear readers, I’m baaaaaaack!
oh darling love
