It has been a very very very long morning.... Oh, yeah, it's afternoon now...  We got our satallite hookup but I had to get tech support for Guy's computer because his "friend" who works on his computer (and thinks he knows everything--he's supposed to be a friend mind you) totally screwed up his IP address... Ugh...  I've been up and down basement steps no fewer than 10 times! (mind you, my basement steps are very dangerous--steep, no hand rail, very scary for me with my poor balance--heck, I don't even do good steps well)...

Happily, all is well that ends well!  We are both setup and on-line... And, most importantly, it is way way way better than dialup!!!  It's all good though the pups are mad--they have not gotten much in the way of walks today.  Even if we hadn't had the satallite hook-up challenges, I hurt my lower back yesterday doing too much, dumping pots, putting everything away...  I must have lifted them wrong because I was mad that I had to dig my garden cart out of the garden barn where in had be buried in bullcrap...  Guy, love him, but he is a pack rat and not an organized one either...

Oh, well...  All is good now, and I'll happily lounge the rest of the day away!  Ellen comes on in 40 short minutes, I'll figure what I'm cooking (especially since I have eaten a handful of pretzels and that's it), and I'll have a nice glass of wine!  Yum!
