And they stop

Brutal honesty here: The words have stopped again. There just are no words for some of the things going on in the world today. From people being persecuted for words spoken 30 years ago, to young children fighting battles that no-one should ever face, there is too much. And so the words have stopped. I have other releases at the moment, but mostly, it's just "pushing through it" until I have a day or two where I have nothing to do and can sit with all of this.

I'm still in the process of moving, and while a lot of it hasn't been bad (just long and drawn out), the worst part has been dealing with my internet provider. They just seem incompetent, and that is not something I enjoy. If you are going to do a job, do it well; if you can't do it well, go find a different one. So, they have been really annoying. I spent 30 minutes on the phone with a guy, to tell me that I should just go into the location they have here and explain it all, to getting a phone call at 8am saying someone was on the way to hook my internet, and that there is a charge for it! Forget that I need it disconnected at the old address, and already have all the equipment, she tells me I'll need to make a separate work order for that. Excuse me? I never put in a work order to begin with, I did not agree to being charged to turn on my internet, and you charge me more than you should to begin with just to have internet. So I told her to cancel the installation this morning, and to have someone look at their pricing and I'll consider staying with them. They'll call me back later. You don't call me at 8am for something I didn't ask for. So, hopefully I'll end up with a better deal out of all of this.

So that's the excitement that is my life. I have nothing deep to offer, for this well is pretty low at the moment. I've received a few beating recently, and I've just got to work on patching up the holes so I can hold water again.

Maybe my next vacation will be what I need... It's only a couple weeks away.

Off I go to try to move some more. Other than internet, I hope today is the last day in the old place. And, who knows, maybe a few days without the internet will be good for me. Forced relaxation and disconnection.

Sometimes that's all we need
Stopping isn't bad, it's just part of life.
