Upstairs Neighbors R & A had a goodbye party in the back yard today -- I attended for a couple hours before saying my farewells and heading off to do other things. They loaded most of their possessions into a moving truck on Saturday, and they plan to leave for good sometime on Monday afternoon. (Monday morning is for doing a final cleaning job on their apartment.)
So I will lose my current internet access on Monday, whenever they get around to turning off and unplugging their router.
But!
I am scheduled to get my own, new internet connection on Monday afternoon. I have an appointment for Time Warner to come run a cable into my apartment (or just hook up the cable that's already here, perhaps), and connect it to my new wifi cable modem router dohicky. They won't let you make precise appointments -- you just get to pick a window of either 8am-noon or noon-5pm. I chose the latter, for obvious reasons.
I fully expect there to be delays and complications, because that's how my life seems to work lately, but with luck I should have a connection sometime this week.
And until then, there's always the public library, and Cornell's computer labs. I have used them before; I can use them again. *sigh*
And now back to writing. :-)
