The cable company bury team can’t get to our situation till Wednesday of next week. That means we will be without television, telephone, and internet for a week. So I don’t know if I’ll be able to post on schedule till we get our system back up.

There’s construction work along our neighborhood street — new houses going up — and our cable line got cut yesterday. So we’re without TV, telephone, and Internet.

We called the cable company yesterday evening, and they sent out a repair man this morning. Turns out the workers who originally ran the cable line through our neighborhood buried the line across the empty lot next to our house. I guess they didn’t make the mental connection: empty lot in a neighborhood = house will eventually be constructed there.

The cable guy explained that he can’t reconnect the severed line, because it still runs across the lot where the house builders are still laying foundation. So he called in a bury team to come out and rerun and bury the line around the new house. But the bury team won’t be out till tonight or tomorrow morning.

So we’re without TV, telephone, and Internet for at least that long. <sigh>

Thank goodness for our cell phones, or we’d be nearly completely cut off from the world. It’s like living in the dark ages.

We’re back connected to the Internet. That was a long three days without cyberspace. No checking email, no checking or updating this site, no checking FailBlog.org for my funny fix. It feels like waking up from a coma.

But right after I got our network up and running, and started writing this, Cowgrit’s laptop stopped playing nice with the wireless router. So cancel all the happiness I just implied.

I worked on that diabolical appliance for an hour and just couldn’t get it to connect. I think the wireless hardware has died. I’ll have to get another one. Meanwhile, my “loaner” computer will be the only one for all of us.

<sigh>

Can nothing just go smooth for us in this move?

It didn’t snow in our area, and the roads were clear for moving. Although, it was terribly cold: around 30 degrees all day.

So, now we just have to unpack everything. I may or may not have a post for Monday morning. I don’t know if I’ll have my computer set up in the new house in time. I’m taking it down from my mother’s-in-law house now.
