Good morning, villagers ~
What an oddball week I've had. Interruptions with everything I tried to do.
I had high hopes for getting stuff done around this house this long weekend. I'm even taking an extended weekend in that I chose not to ask to make up the lost hours from Monday. I don't get holiday pay so the paycheck will be short, but it will be worth it to have the blocks of decluttering and cleaning time. I have a meeting Wednesday evening and go back to work Thursday, but until then my time is my own.
I meant to jump right in my sewing/craft room declutter project first thing this morning but got sidetracked by noticing that the phone isn't working, no dial tone at all. We had storms all night and I was afraid that something happened to the physical line. Luckily my cell phone was charged and I could use it to call tech service for the land line number. While I was on hold
(hold hold hold), I discovered that the internet is working fine and I could have done some online troubleshooting rather than waiting on hold
(hold hold hold), but by that time a real person spoke up and I had a nice conversation with him. According to his test, we have a phone off the hook. I'm waiting for DH to return because I know he has an extension down in his mancave but I don't know where it is because he has everything buried down there. I want him to check his phone before I go to the trouble of crawling under my desk to check the wall jack to my hard-wired phone.
The weird thing about this is that I expected to wake up to no electricity since we had bad storms roll through all night. The landline has always been my safety net with our frequent power outages. So strange to have that flipped. I shouldn't speak too soon, though, as the weather forecast is predicting storms every day until Friday, which is as far out as the website shows. Yuck.
Anyway, I've done as much as I can for the phone so far. Need to reset and start the morning over. I need breakfast and coffee before I do anything else. Aaaaand the sky is getting dark for another storm, oh joy.
