-----------------------------------self portrait.I had always thought that if I was left on a desert island I would be fine. Happy. Secure.
Today I discovered how very wrong I was. I woke up to not having an internet connection. I spent all day trying to figure out what was wrong .... and after hours and hours of frustration.... discovered that it was most likely due to the fact that I had forgotten to pay my phone bill.
I am an addict. I blame my husband. He is like some sort of crack dealer... having taught me the ins and outs of the internet (hereby to be known as the crack in question). He provided me with the fasted speed connection... he provided the coolest software and computer equipment, and unlimited access. He is evil.
In my hazy stupor of withdrawal... I wandered aimlessly around my house. I was sweaty.. shakey. Wait... I'll have a cup of coffee, I say to myself. But --I didn't have any coffee in the house to calm my frazzled nerves.

Wait.. I say. I will go to Starbucks. But evil children have taken my car. I am stranded at home.
Wait -- I say, I will go to call my husband-- he will know what to do. But the phone is dead.( hence.. how I figured out that I had not paid my bill ).

No internet, no money, no car, no phone. Do they have 12 step programs for this ?!
I am in panic mode. The dogs are trying to figure out what is wrong with me. I am in a cold sweat. I have a headache. My knees are weak.
Finally, the hubby arrived home, and took me to Starbucks for a partial FIX.
Tomorrow, he will call and make payment on the phone.... but who knows how long I will be without internet and phone access ....will I survive ?
I am writing this from the studio.. on my daughter's laptop. Temporary fixes...tune in tomorrow. See if the sharks have arrived to feed on my carcass.
