My cranky news was that the internet went out on Tuesday afternoon and promised repair by 3:30 am in Thursday (today). I am extremely fortunate in that the public library and a co-working space that offers day passes are just minutes away from home, so i spent much of yesterday at the co-working space with nice phone booths for long calls. I left early so i could get blood drawn, but despite the doctor saying he'd put in the labs order and i could come any time, (1) he had not actually put in the order and (2) i needed a lab appointment as they didn't have a phlebotomist in on Thursday. In the hour of driving to and from the doctor's office i scanned the AM & FM bands looking for a radio station carrying the Phillies game: no dice. North Carolina hockey was going to be on.

So we did a grocery run, which was pretty short, and got home, chatted. I opened my laptop -- and saw a message i'd sent to Christine via the phone as i got to the grocery was on it -- but, wait -- how -- we had internet!! Woo! And we were able to tune in to the 5th inning and watch the Phils delightful trampling of the Braves at home.

I just looked at the standings and am sad to see the Orioles and the Twins lost their divisional games, and am surprised to see the Arizona Diamondbacks swept the Dodgers. I went to bed fairly early last night, resting to clear myself of this malaise. I have not felt like looking at the fig tree or picking the tiny Matt's Wild Tomatoes or doing anything with the yard: i hope this is illness and not depression.
