The condominium had new smoke detectors and alarms installed on Tuesday. We learned today that the installer cut our wire for our Internet and land line. A technician came yesterday afternoon. He figured out the problem but couldn't resolve it. He returned today with two other workers. They made a temporary repair but apparently the entire floor will need to be rewired. Apparently, we're in the middle of a conflict between our Internet company and its contractor. Oh, joy.
It's not like we were completely cut off from the outside world--our cellphones had intermittent Internet access. We also have a radio, and, of course, could have gone to the library or a cafe for Internet access.
It was weird to be without television and consistent Internet. We've had power outages in the past, but none lasted three days. As I said to Jeff, I guess we're addicted.
I did a lot of reading over the past three days. I had already been in a reading mode over Thanksgiving weekend, so it was easy to continue. Waiting for the technician yesterday, I put up our Christmas decorations, except for the tree.
As for tonight, we're catching up of our recordings: The Daily Show and What We Do in the Shadows.
