So last night at 1 am I got a notice that the new Robert Crais novel was available. So I decided that before I went to bed I'd download it to my Nook. My Nook wouldn't connect with the WiFi. I tried everything I could think of at 1 in the morning to get it hooked in, then gave up and went to bed.
I slept badly, kept waking up and trying things. Finally turned off my alarm at 10 and went to sleep til 11:45, then got up, had breakfast and coffee.
I found that my laptop wasn't hooking into the WiFi either. No internet. I tried various things thinking it was my issue, but nothing worked. Then just when I was about to call Fios I got a message that there was a general outage and the estimated time for it being fixed was 6:30. Well at least that told me there was nothing I could do about it.
So I took a shower and got dressed, and I watched the movie Gay Purr-ee which I love, and have downloaded on my computer so I didn't need the WiFi. And despite the estimated time of restoration, the WiFi came back before the movie ended.
So after that I hooked my Nook back in to the WiFi, and downloaded the Robert Crais book.
Then I thought to collect the snail mail, and there was a bank statement from Oldest Brother, and the amount looked oddly high. So I looked and there was no deduction for the storage unit. So I logged into his email account and pulled up emails from the storage company. And the automatic pay somehow was turned off in November, and the storage unit has been sold. That's the stuff we took out of my parents house after my mother died. All gone.
This was right before RK was supposed to pick me up for the presurgical screenning. I texted the Kid. Then I went out to meet RK and we went to the screening.
The Kid is... very upset. Seriously upset. More than I would have expected truthfully. And she's furiously angry at me, and truthfully I can't blame her. I fucked up BAD.
Anyway, I went to the presurgical screening, the surgery is the 27th. They took my height, weight, temperature, blood pressure, pulse and history. And then they sent me home with instructions, pills, and special soap.
RK and I ate at Popeye's and then he brought me home in time to Skype the FWiB before my meeting.
So we Skyped and then I had my Al-anon meeting.
Then after that I got a text from
mashfanficchick and I called zer but ze couldn't talk right then. So I went to lie down and play solitaire. The Kid texted a lot, and her boyfriend finally called me.
They are trying to find out what happened and see if there's any way to recoup anything.
Finally it was pet feeding time, and I did that and then this.
And that's all.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
