Yikes ... it is always something

My internet connection went out Friday afternoon at some point. It has come on for a few seconds here and there ... and when I came back tonight, YAY ... it is working for now! I had called tech support and they couldn't find what the problem is ... I notice, though, the cable that the installer placed a jack on doesn't have a "snug", protected connection. There is an insulation gap between and I am wondering if this might be allowing the wires inside to be bent and degrade/stop connectivity.
The other day I was having problems with a circuit breaker; it went off about 3 - 4 times for no apparent reason. I hate that, because breakers (unless they fail, as I understand it) DO NOT just keep shutting off "for no reason".
Had a good cry today. I am tired. Almost always. Went out and got some more cans ... I had turned in all the ones I have and still have several days to go. On a bright note, I found a $10 frozen to the ground where the plowed up stuff had melted. Sort of weird ... as I had been thinking of finding money ... how nice that would be ... definitely NOT expecting it, though.
It's getting late and I'm hoping to do some reading and responding before bed ... or the connection disappears again.

I hate it when my internet connection goes out. I\'m using Verizon now and I can\'t remember the last time I had problems.

How lucky you found that $10.00. I was married to an electrician but I hate trying to fix something electrical. I will work on the electric rope around the horse fields. Getting zapped by that only gets your attention. You work so hard and I hope you can finally come out ahead on everything. You deserve the best of everything in your life.

I hope your internet connection is still running. If you have a problem please let me know so that I\'ll not worry about you. But yeah! Nice to find lost money like that. I hope you are gradually feeeling better. Continual frusteration can get to people so easily. Tomorrow is another day.. :)

The tech came out and determined the antenna dish was being impeded by trees. It works great again!
