Cold sweats

Help me, I’m sick. From internet withdrawals. Five long days I’ve been coming down, and it hurts. I didn’t even have a working cell phone on our trip up north, let alone any access to my precious emails and blogs. And when we got home Saturday, we found our internet had been disconnected already, meaning we’ll be without any home connection for at least a week.

I wasn’t too worried over the weekend though because with Monday came the promise of a long day at my desk and many hours to catch up on the world. Yeah. Instead, I found myself helping with student registration. Which roughly translated to ten hours on my feet without a phone or computer in sight. No email, no blogs, no flickr. all. day. long.

And no relief at home because remember? NO INTERNET there either. Plus we dismantled our home desk on Sunday to move it to the apartment, which included dismantling the computer, which means I can’t even upload vacation pictures. Of course, what good would it do anyway since there’s NO INTERNET at home and I can’t upload them to flickr and share them with my people. And really, what good are pictures if they aren’t shared with one’s people?

Fortunately I had a little time today to snort a line of the World Wide Web, and I’m feeling much better. I’m not as addicted as some people who truly consider it their life line and keep it attached at their hip (ahem), but five days is a long time to go without a hit.

I’ll try to get some pictures up soon, and maybe even a funny video of me conquering my fear of heights. Or something.

Update: Brad’s uncle sent us a couple pictures he took on our visit last week. See! We went kayaking!

    Kayaking eh? How was it? I’ve been canoeing and white water rafting but freaked at the idea of being in an itty-bitty boat that can do rolls with you in it…alone.
