Grace In Small Things – 66/365

26 March 09 | 7 comments

  1. We had a power outage this morning and when we regained hydro and the computers all booted up, none of them could connect to the internet. I tried all the tricks I could think of – shutting down and rebooting the firewall machine, un-and-re-plugging the router, modem, computers, etc. I tried dancing around and begging. NADA. So I used my cellphone to go online (painful) and email Coffee to beg for help. Once we realized I couldn’t get it working he came home. And he fixed the internet. And ohmygod, I am so grateful. How awesome is my husband?
  2. I put gas in my car today and got to talk to the really nice woman who works at the gas station. She’s always very cheerful which, to me, is great customer service. She likes to chat with Maymo, which is another bonus point. In all: she is good people.
  3. OneBun, the rabbit who lives in our front yard, has been sitting there all day napping off and on. She was completely unconcerned when we walked by her, though she did open her eyes to peek at us. SPRING!
  4. I bought a cellphone charger (for my car) and a new spare battery for my phone – for under $20, including shipping. SWEET! This is particularly awesome because my phone is about 6 years old, now, and finding accessories is nearly impossible.
  5. Michelle‘s daughter, toddling around in her pink pants, made me smile.

    I wasn’t going to comment cause this seems to be a personal project but I do have to tell you that your hubby Coffee is awesome.

    Coffee IS Awesome for sure. I might have just let you dance around if it were me.
    Also, what kind of cell phone? I have tons of old phones and associated accessories around here.

      Well, I now have everything I need, but.. it’s an LG4600. Fancy at the time, notsomuch now. But it’s functional and small and, thus, I’m not in a rush to replace it! (Though, if someone offered to pay my bills, I’d TOTALLY switch to a blackberry or something else along those lines!)
