This week has been interesting. We have been without internet for ten days now. We should have it back tomorrow when the technician comes and figures why the modem doesn’t read the router and the router doesn’t read the modem. I changed the cable three times with no luck. They think it is the outlet on the modem. We shall see. I had to buy a new router because of it so I hope that is not in vain. I…
Another long, but fun few weeks in the books! We are still adjusting to the new puppy and she to us. Honestly, I can’t wait for her to be outside a lot more.
