Five Days Without The Internet, And What Happened

Ra-Raela's picture

Well, last week, the unthinkable happened. Our universal minds decided to kill our modem and modem cable, after we had our computer in the shop to be scrubbed, cleaned and updated. So, no internet. What to do! I took it in stride and started painting, with watercolors. Our cat took an interest in my activity of painting as well. It became an intense period of creativity for me, with the result of four beautiful watercolor paintings. I amazed myself! I had no former training in art, and yet out of me flowed these beautiful works of art. Did I miss the internet? Absolutely not, until, well, until my creative juices ran out,lol. The universe, held out as long as it could. We had to go through two different modems, none of which worked, until finally my boyfriend went with a reputable company and local service, to have the whole thing working again. There was such a contrast of emotions between us. I was able to see the whole episode from a detached sort of perspective, while he had coniption fits. It seemed like we lived in two different worlds in the same apartment. I did start to miss the GFP though at the very end. We don't watch tv, and aren't very big on news radio either, nor do we read the newspaper, except a fleeting headline here and there. Had a lot to catch up on lol. Anyway, I'm sure glad to have my GFP back!
