This has been a 'trying' week for K and me. My car has been in the shop all week, and we were without the internet at home for a few days. Yeah, I know, boo hoo, no internet.
K had a light week so she could stay at home and watch our little boy without serious need of a car (I used hers to commute). But she also didn't have internet access (our cable modem got fried after a power outage last week). She says she did pretty well without car and web, but for me, having a car and internet at work during the day didn't allay my own anxiety in the evenings. I couldn't check email or do any mindless surfing and just knowing there was an empty space in the garage made me feel uncomfortable. Things were just not right.
I'll be the first to admit I am a control freak, but I was surprised at the twinge of 'being without' these two staples presented me. I hate that I have become so dependant on the internet.
Sure, we've been on vacation (our family will be at a remote cabin in northern Minnesota for a week this summer) and I can go without a car or internet then, no problem... or can I? I need to know the news, sports, design going on in the world.
I think deep down I'll be OK, because I know my brother C will bring his laptop to the cabin. I'll sneak a few hits of the web off him.
