The things we take for granted

[wiseheart]

Today our internet provider run into some technical problem, so we didn't have either television or internet connection for a good four hours. Mum was devastated, as she missed Derrick (an old German cop series), and it was an episode she never saw before. I felt like missing a limb without being able to going online on my iPad mini.

Originally, they promised to fix the problem until 9pm; I was getting slightly insane by the perspective. Fortunately, they were done by 4pm, but it was still a bad experience. Especially in these days when we don't really get to see anyone for real. Except the physiotherapist, of course.

It really does feel like a missing limb if the internet isn't there. On the odd occasion it has happened to us over the years both of us have an urge to just check, in case it's back, at 2 minute intervals!

Same here, unfortunately. Sometimes I think I really should exchange phone numbers with my online friends, just in case.
