Letting go
Tomorrow is the big day for me. I’ll be signing my life away (as they say) as I close on the first home I have ever owned. It’ll be a very exciting day for me, but at the same time somewhat bittersweet.
Still packin’
Been busy cleaning out old junk and packing this weekend in preparation for my Friday move – it’s a slow process of determining what gets tossed out and what goes with me.
Let there be light!
Bye bye dial up, re-hello to DSL!
Dial up hell
Right now, I’m having to connect to the Internet via a dial up connection. To make a long story long, I called my phone company on Wednesday to schedule the transfer of my phone line to my new address – with an effective date of January 20th. On Thursday evening when I came home, I noticed I could not connect to the Internet – I reset my DSL modem several times, and when I would try to pull up my browser, the Earthlink diagnostics page would come up the spot where it tested the connection to the carrier was coming up “failed”. So I picked up my phone to see if I had a dial tone. I didn’t. I called my phone company on my cell phone to find out what the problem was and come to find out, the lady who had set up my transfer for the 20th neglected to change the disconnect date from it’s default of the 5th to the 20th. So my phone was disconnected on Thursday.
Doin’ the happy dance :-)
Yours truly just found out today that she has been approved for the loan on the townhome she’s been trying to buy.
Political correctness – a New Year’s resolution
Friday afternoon I was having lunch with my mother and the conversation we had while at lunch inspired me to write this post.
