We Have A New Router

After spending WAY too much time trying to fix the old router, g finally saw it my way and went out at 5pm and bought a new router.  It took a bit to hook it up, but now all those new iToys and the iMac are running (and staying up for more than an hour at a time), so Life Is Good.  Except for the Patriots.  What a spectacularly stupid game they played.  Enough said.  Downton Abbey was very good.

So far this morning, I have brushed my teeth, washed my face, gotten dressed and eaten breakfast.  I also prepared Alton Brown's pizza dough for G's dinner tonight.  I've let the dog in and out twice. Cleaned the carpet where the dog threw up his breakfast.  I have a sink full of greasy pans to wash and the dishwasher to start.  I also have a load of whites ready to wash. The sheets need to be changed. The floor needs sweeping.  So, of course, I decided to sit down and write to you!

The sun is shining today and it should reach 40 in a few hours.  February in Maine.  I remember it being like this last February when G had his painful health scare.  Two terrifying weeks, but the weather was quite nice.  I should be thinking about starting some seeds for my garden.  Not actually starting them--just thinking.  Sugar snap peas this year not pod peas.  Lettuce.  And I must go upstairs to get the insecticide to spray on the amaryllis.  Little dirt gnats all over.  My Clivia is about to blossom.  The largest plant has three flower stalks.  This has never happened before.  It's AMAZING.  The little fan in the guest bath is managing to keep the citrus from getting spider mites this winter (so far).  Moving air.

I have written and deleted what I really want to say, twice.  Mostly about not wanting to discuss buying a condo in Florida anymore.  I am NOT going to do it.  And the huge credit card bills G has had in the past three, going on four and five, months.  The vacation.  The truck repairs.  The iToys.  It all makes me sick to my stomach.  And, I wrote about it again!!!

I am going to do something else and hope I feel better about life when next I sit down to write a post. I have the dog to walk and the bank and library to visit.
