Frustration

I have a very good reason for not posting in a while; in fact, I have several. First of all: I've been sick for most of the week and am just getting better now. Second: when I was just about to send a post two days ago, the power went out. Third: when I tried again the next day, my almost brand new modem had stopped working! It still isn't. I'm using Mama's computer to write this post. I am so mad. I payed for that modem myself, and it worked wonderfully for the two weeks I had it. I'm hoping the manufacturer will replace it, but we'll see.
