Waiting for the Cable Person

lydamorehouseSeveral months ago, we got the news that our little Clear Wifi Hotspot isn't going to be supported any more. Not just tech support, but like, 'pull the plug' not supported.
Shawn immediately started shopping around for internet options and, I'm fairly certain, sunk into a sea of despondency because our local choices kind of suck. But, CenturyLink sent some poor young woman named, (quite awesomely,) Panda to our door, and since our choices are Scylla and Charybdis, anyway--we went with the closest rock to dash ourselves upon.
So, today in that lovely range of 9 am to 1 pm, a cable person will be showing up to connect, install, and set-up all the things.
Whee.
On the other hand, we've had lots of small inconveniences with our previous hotspot thingie, which we're hoping will go away.
I have some things I need to be working on to get our basement snazzed up for the arrival of the floor loom. I have a lot of painting to do, actually. We picked a lovely lemony color for the walls, which will hopefully brighten the place up. Mason is actually looking forward to making the whole place his 'man cave.' Which, we mostly support, since goodness knows we'd love a chance to finally get all the LEGOs out of the dinning room. There is talk of a mini fridge, which might cool, honestly, so we'll see.
But with all this house-related work going on, I haven't had my usual huge amount of time to write. And I finally have a novel project that I'm excited about. Yes, I will talk about it, but I don't want to right now because if I'm going to talk about it, I want to be working on it.
I'm thinking that I'll do bits of basement work interspersed with writing today, since I'm kind of stuck waiting, anyway.
Wish me luck.
