a little life update
So, I'm still not around here much and I thought I'd just give a quick update. First, things are still stressful for me. There are some bug-related things. Not roaches or anything normal-people-scary, but practically every bug is scary for me so I have a hard time dealing when things that shouldn't be in my home are just crawling around. I also did have a normal-people-scary scare when I got bit by something, but we've searched everywhere and cannot find a culprit or signs of anything alarming. So anyway, all that results in not sleeping well and paranoia and wanting to just not engage.
Then there's been a few related family issues. My sister is going through something, which of course affects me because I love her.
Then there's internet issues. We all in the house share one internet connection, and lately my connection has been dropping. We have these little boxes that go into the outlet to boost the connection, but there's no outlets between the router/modem and me to add another. I tried buying a TP-Link thing that goes in the computer and has a disc that you run to add a boost to the wifi signal, but it won't work. It says something like, "cannot connect to this device" and one of the suggestions is 'move closer to the router'. Geez, if I could do that I wouldn't need a damn booster!
So anyway, it's super frustrating and also stress-adding because I use the internet to work. If it cuts out and comes back in a minute that's fine, but sometimes it cuts out and then doesn't come back, so I have to go downstairs and disrupt whatever TV show Amy and Garry are watching (or when Amy worked from home, which just ended, make her disconnect from work because *I* had to) because I need to reset the modem/router/whatever it is, which is super annoying for them, and then I feel bad for being a pain, etc. It also means that I'm kind of trying to limit my computer time to the daytime when there's less disruption if I need to reset. Ugh, it's just frustrating.
If anyone has any other thoughts on how to boost wifi signals, please feel free to share.
Anyway, so I just feel stressed out over a whole bunch of different stuff. So, that's why I'm not around much. I do hope everything is going wonderfully for you guys.
