Did You Miss Me?
Because I've missed you guys. The tech people began a firewall upgrade on our computer server at work (or whatever it is you do upgrades on) on Friday afternoon. Apparently, things did NOT go well. The firewall is still down and we don't have internet access or e-mail. So, I'm completely cut off from the world for 9 hours a day. I'm having issues - withdrawal sucks! Seriously. I have dial-up at home, but I've been at karate practice every night this week in preparation for my black belt test on Friday. I get home just in time to take a shower and fall into bed. Tonight, I'm supposed to be working on my own, and I will, but I had to post quickly before I go off to practice my kata. So, I'm fine, aside from technologically challenged. I've been working on the Ruffle Shrug, but not very much. I got my Runner's Handbook and read some over lunch today - what a great book. Thanks Diana! I'm really excited to start running after I read the first 200 pages. I took Friday off in the hopes that knitting and catching up on my blog reading can keep the impending panic attack at bay. So, I will post a detailed post on Friday when I have the time to fight with dial-up, and I'll be reading what you all have been up to. I hope everything is going great. Talk to you soon.

I'll be anxious to hear the results of your test! You'll do fine, I'm sure.

Good luck on your test! you will be great!
We lost our internet awhile at work yesterday, and I had absolutely nothing to do... it was weird to think of how much things have changed since the invention of the internet...
Take care, Stephanie~

I missed your blog but just thought you had gotten busy. Isn't it amazing when something like *the network* goes down? A lot of people don't even know what that means but they sure miss their Internet connection. When that happens at the office, all work stops!
