Not sure what I did differently yesterday, but when I tried sleeping last night, my CPAP Mask did not leak once. I even had my old Mask ready, just in case. I still managed to split my sleep time between my Recliner and Bed, with the Recliner holding top honours.
I had been at my Computer for over an Hour when Kathy came out to join me. After a Breakfast Snack, we both spent a bit more time On-Line, before doing the yearly ritual of putting away the Christmas Decorations. I brought out the Storage Containers, Kathy was taking the Ornaments off our Christmas Tree.
Needing a quick break, we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Pizza for lunch. It is not what I would prefer to eat, but it is quick and comfortably feeds the both of us.
I was still packing the Decorations back
into the Storage Room,
when Kathy said she could not get On-Line. So
when I tried my Computer, I was having the same issue. When we
first moved in this Apartment,
our carrier had given us a state-of-the-art Modem. It kept
dropping us to the point that it was exchanged Two Days later.
Things did not improve and for the next Four Months using an
identical unit, we both lost connection at least Four Times a Day.
You wonder why we put up with the problem for so long, the answer was
simple, “Covid”. When we
finally were given an Older Modem, nicknamed the “Fridge”.
I have restarted Modems hundreds of times
where it became second nature. The “Fridge” has served us
well over the last few years, only dropping us once maybe every Three
Months. Today it gave up the Ghost.
Whatever got into me, I have no idea why but I tried calling Tech Support. In today’s day and age the incoming calls are all answered by a Computer that keeps you in an Electronic Loop between each lap a message plays advising you, “For faster service, go to our Website.ca” then it disconnects the call. DAH. If your Modem does not work how do you get On-Line?
Tired of the run around we were out the door within minutes headed to the Office in central Windsor. We arrived at 3:15 to find out that since the New Year, “This office is no longer open on Sundays. For more help go to our Website.ca”. Even the 25 F (-4 C) outside temperature had me feeling a bit hot under the collar.
In order to cool down, we took our time heading towards home. Before we got too far we stopped at Wendy’s to have their Chicken Nuggets for supper.
As we sat eating Kathy noticed her watch had stopped working. Being directly across from the Tecumseh Mall, we drove over to Good Times where in a matter of minutes a New Battery will keep her on time for a while longer.
Back home it took time before I remembered having a Data Plan on both our Cell Phones. They are identical but I could not get Kathy’s Phone to connect to her Laptop. In the end both our Laptops were On-Line, tethered to my Phone. With tonight’s publication being posted through that Phone, we will definitely have a replacement Modem tomorrow.
We watched a few episodes of “The Pitt”.
