\"Modem\"<\/center>
Yes, as of yesterday we have internet access<\/b>, and even a phone.  How long has it been?  About a month, I guess.  Not bad considering the circumstances, although I had been hoping I would be able to check email and so on more in the mean time.<\/p>\n

So, here I am with dozens of emails – people wanting me to do this, check that, fix these things, tell them the other stuff.  I got a phone message telling me they were going to cut off this if I didn’t do that (turns out it actually wasn’t my responsibility at all), someone wanting to sign Shari up for that, a call about a free trip I had qualified for.  The phone kept ringing even after I went to bed.<\/p>\n

So anyway, I need to go through these dozens of emails and figure out what to do and say in them all – so thanks for your patience!<\/p>\n

We’re still working out the bugs – the internet isn’t actually working in the office (of course, I can’t go up there anyway because the stairs are being tiled!), and sometimes it doesn’t want to work at all.  But we’re getting there as you can see!<\/p>\n

I’ll write more about the progress of the house later.  The big news of the day really is that Shari gets back into town today!<\/b>  We’ll be picking her up at the airport this evening.  \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
