Back in Action

You may have been wondering why you haven’t heard from me for a few days.

The simple answer is that I moved and it’s taken me until now to get my computer connected.

I did some posts in advance which took me through until Friday, thinking, silly me, that if I was moving on Tuesday surely I would be back in action by Saturday.

HA!

The new house didn’t close until Friday. No worries, even though I was living from a paper bag and at a hotel whose beds were harder than some floors, I could get to the web to check my email now and again.

We moved Friday and the cable guy came to hook up the Internet. On Friday night I tried to hook up the router but had no signal. That’s because the cable modem wasn’t hooked up to the network running through the walls.

My DS finally, through trial and error got it hooked up, but if this is the fastest speed we have a problem (that’s one of tomorrow’s issues).

So by Saturday night we had Internet connection and my computer was set up but the wireless thingy which makes my Mac work with a wireless router said there was no Internet.

Apparently that side of the studio is just too far, but the diagonally opposite corner is OK.

So that’s where I sit, with the computer set up on a folding table.

It could be worse. And since we’ll be painting in here and narrowing the doorway so I can get a door and close it on the mess, the fact that the nice desk my DH gave me is now an expensive thread storage unit is only a minor problem.

And did I mention the chandelier in the middle of the room?

This room was supposed to be the dining room and has a honking big light fixture in the middle of it, made of iron and only five feet from the ground. I bashed my head on it Saturday night so badly it still hurts there and have had to resort to putting two empty boxes in the middle of the room to keep away from it.

They are so decorative.

Back with some real posts tomorrow but I wanted to bring you up-to-date.
