Want But Can't

That was a strange experience this morning. I wanted to do some work on the computer, doing research for an article, and… there’s no connection. So I phoned the provider and they were disconnected too. I was clearly not awake at that time. If I don’t have Internet, than the phone doesn’t work too and neither is there radio or TV, they’re all coming thru the same landline.

To make a long story longer short, someone broke the cable during road works early this morning, and the whole neighborhood was out of those services. On the other hand it was dry and sunny for a change so I used my time well. Reading a book on my balcony and falling asleep halfway, and making a hospital appointment*. Just before 4 this afternoon my phone went off, that ment there was again a connection. Hurray! 61 emails later, research done, dinner eaten, I can write this post.

*I noticed I gained weight again last Wednesday when I went to Novarum for my monthly check-up. I’m now back at the level I was in January 2009, 20 kilo down the drain. Mid September I’m going to ask for a gastric by-pass, something I couldn’t do before because my blood glucose levels were off the chart, but with the insulin pump they are on a steady level.
