The internet is back, but the phone is still dead. The dude has to get in this scary C.H.U.D. manhole at the end of the street for that.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Is the manhole cover from Wisconsin?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Given a choice, hopefully you're happier with internet than phone.
I had a massage scheduled for tomorrow, but the masseuse is going to be out, so they switched me to the scary tiny lady. I do not like the scary tiny lady, so now I'm not getting a massage tomorrow.

Scary and massage should never go together.

Definitely, because at least we have cell service (with a different carrier). I needed the freaking Internet for work, and I couldn't go to the library because I was waiting for the Cincinnati Bell dude to show up. Sheesh.

Not really bad scary, but brisk and way too strong, given her height.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
At Malice I bid on, and won, an item in the silent auction. It was a cat-themed basket, with 22 cat related mysteries, a cat statue, a couple pads of cat post-it notes and a cat brooch. I realized there was no way I could carry it home on the subway, so I had it shipped here. Today it arrived, and I have to figure out where to put all the books.

Good one, Sheryl.
Oh, man, I didn't even think how you need the internet to work, Tep. Jeesh.
Too bad about the massage, Dana.

And I would ordinarily run up to the library or the coffee shop, but I had to wait for the tech guy to get here. There's only so much I can do for work on my smartphone, but at least I could email back and forth with my coordinator so she knew what was going on. (The one thing EVERYONE has sympathy for is internet problems, fortunately.)
