I'm an adult, now....

I am an adult now. I am paying for my own internet service.
I know. This is lame, but so true.
When Chichi lived with me, she set it and turned it off when she departed in December. Somehow, I managed to have cable until this morning.
I negotiated with Marc and Megan to use their internet service until they moved. I gave them wine, they let me use their wireless connection. Actually, I know that the wine was unnecessary, but I liked them and I liked being able to contribute. I don't expect a free ride.
The Comcast guy took 2.5 hours of my life to set up the internet, but I think he turned the cable off first. Very sad.
In some respects it is good. It will force me to read more, to be outside more, and inside less. I rely on the idiot box, a lot, it seems. I like having sound in the back ground and I used to sleep with it on.
I know that the internet has Hulu, and other free shows that are available for viewing. I was without a tv, or constant service for the 5 months that I traveled. I know that I can adjust to life without tv.
Still, I am sad. I will miss watching Rescue Me, tonight. I can watch it in 8 days on Hulu.com. I suppose it is something to look forward to.
Marc and Megan moved to DC, today. They left me some cleaning products, two bar stools, a plant, a lamp and an excellent full length mirror. There are other things, too. I will miss them and knowing that there is someone friendly to see when I return home. I wish that I had spent more time with them, sooner.
I am off to the post office. While waiting for the internet, I wrote 8 thank-you cards and packaged a budha for someone that needs it. You know, you cannot buy your own...
