Today’s Business: 2009-12-01
Tuesday, December 1st, 200905:00 AM: Noticed that my Internet service had gone off sometime during the night.
08:30 AM: Internet service is still non operational. I rebooted both my modem and firewall. But the outage persists. So I’ll just blog into a local text editor, and upload this when service comes back.
08:40 However, sister Jojo called just now, offering to take me shopping. Hopefully when we return home in a couple hours, the problem will be resolved.
12:15 PM: We’re home from our shopping trip. However, still no Internet.
12:30 PM: Worked the Household Organization, 2009 project.
01:02 PM: Just called our Internet service provider. They ran some line checks and say that it looks like there’s something wrong with the modem here. First available time that they can come look at it is tomorrow morning. So, I guess I’ll be disconnected from the world at least for today anyhow.
01:45 PM: Doing all pending laundry, including [Emmy's].
02:00 PM: While poking around in the basement, and highly motivated by the $30 charge that my ISP will levy to come here and fix the problem, I checked all connections. I did find one that had loosened. So I re-crimped it and re-fastened it, tightly. This not only improved television reception throughout the house, but it also restored Internet connectivity. Great.
02:05 PM: I cancelled the service call with our ISP.
03:00 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless on the DVR, and [Emmy] is right now, watching today’s showing of Pittsburgh Today, Live on KDKA TV 2.
03:45 PM: [Lady Sunshine] will drive [Emmy] to the train tomorrow afternoon.
03:50 PM: Short chores done:
- Unloaded dishwasher
- Put dirty dishes into the dishwasher
- Took garbage out (our garbage pick-up day is tomorrow)
- Got the mail
05:20 PM: Worked the Christmas lighting, 2009 project. Fixed another faulty LED light string.
05:50 PM: Worked the Thanksgiving dinner, 2009 effort. Laundering the linens.
07:00 PM: All white laundry is finished and put away.
08:00 PM: Watched the 2009-11-25 and 2009-11-27 episodes of Dr. Phil.
08:05 PM: All the table cloths from the Thanksgiving dinner, 2009 project have been washed and dried.
12:15 AM: Just added the television category to the past two months of journal posts.
12:25 AM: Posted the list of post revisions for 2009-12-01.
