Going Backwards In Time Is Not A Good Adventure

Today I took a big step backwards in time and I didn’t like it. We are experiencing a bad storm here – fortunately, this time it is heavy rain instead of heavy snow.

However, the storm has made its mark. I have been without phone service or internet for the entire day. I’ve had just a small taste of what Mel Waller went through in the Philippeans after Odette struck and did her damage. We are lucky, though, as the rain is at least removing some of our snow.

That’s not necessarily a good thing. We have a strong possibility of two negative consequences. One is ice and the other is flooding. It’s the time of year for us – winter – when we become subjected to the worst weather tantrums.

So, how did my day go without those two vital services? The day did not go well. There were a few things I could do, as always seems to be the case with WA. I wrote a new post. I selected six more items for my jewelry boutique.

It’s a good thing my research had already been done for my post. In fact, I had researched one more topic, and will start writing that post tomorrow.

However, the day has gone very slowly. I can’t answer messages and I can’t look up anything online. When you can’t access something, you realize how much you miss it.

I’m thankful for my wood stove, as it as least keeps the house warm. That stove helps so much to make this cold little place comfortable. I sure wish I could package up some of the heat from my good little stove and send it to Jeff Brown.

How does he keep going with no heat? He certainly has my admiration. I don’t think I could handle it.

And me without a kitty to keep me company! When spring gets here, I will definitely go to the Juneau animal shelter and get another cat. A kitty saves you from loneliness and gives you another living being to interact with. If you are alone, I do recommend a kitty friend.

I can’t leave here because my little car with its smooth tires would be unsafe to drive on the icy roads. I can’t call someone to get a ride because I have no phone service. Let’s hope the problem is solved by tomorrow.

My days are usually very full. Today I’ve done things in fits and starts and have had trouble focusing on what I COULD do. It is interesting how much I’ve come to depend on WA for many things.

WA is not just a business platform, but it makes up a good part of my social life as well. Discussing problems and working out solutions with other members is rewarding and fulfilling.

As we become acquainted, conversations evolve into more in-depth connections with each other.

Today I’ve been cut off from my family, and it just makes me realize how much all of you mean to me. You, the WA community, are an important part of my life now, and I am very glad I found you. I couldn’t ask for a better place to build an online business.

I sure hope the internet returns tomorrow.

P.S. It just came back on, so was able to publish this blog. Yay!
