Down Time

My modem stopped working on Friday afternoon, which left me without internet and tv access for most of the weekend. That is, until a generous neighbor offered to let me tap into his wifi network. With all the isolation of the pandemic era, I rely on technology to help get me through the day. The literal disconnectedness felt even more daunting and lonely. The technician fixed me up this morning. Glad it’s over.
