Off the Grid


I have not had internet access at home since Wednesday night( I am using a co-worker's wifi now). How dare my neighbors turn off their router!!! Luckily My internet should be hooked up in about a week.
 
You do not realize how dependent you are on the Internet until you do not have it.  I have no email, phone calls (I have a Internet phone), news and gossip updates, random searches...no connection to the outside world...(TV is crap here, but I do watch CNN and BBC) 

I never thought about how much time I spend on the computer until I did not have consistent Internet access. On average I sync my Quicken at least once daily (sometime multiple times...I know I have a problem), check all 4 of my email account daily (multiple times), and do at least an hour of random searching (juicing, beginner sewing, gardening, WII fit...other random thoughts). That does not include facebook, myspace, and blog time......Maybe this time off the net will be good for me..
