I called the local service called Yucca and I literally had internet service within 15 minutes. I just called them on the phone, got my plan set up, went and picked up the router at the local office which is just a few blocks from my house, came home and plugged in my router and I had service. It just absolutely amazing the contrast between the two companies. I will be paying quite a bit more per month which is a drag but at least with them right down the street I should be able to get issues resolved quickly if they arise. That's important to me since I earn all my money online....

The first thing that came to mind when reading this was...shop local! lol

Glad you have service and can make some mo-nay.

Today, my smile inducer was Gracie. I have two cats that cannot be fed together. Loki eats everything and Gracie is subservient to him so she just walks away and doesn't get to eat otherwise. So, he gets some alone time in the bathroom and she and I get some one on one personal time while I put down the food for her. When she's done, she comes to get me and then it's treat time. I think she looks forward to this the most. Even more than wet food, so that's saying a lot, and I have a ball with it too.

Gracie is my predator. She eats all the little bugs and spiders and whatnot that come inside and are not welcome so she's got a good prey drive. I make a game of tossing treats to her and making her chase them. She's got good reflexes and does a killer impression of Patrick Roy (look him up).

Today, she was especially playful, which means she would block the treat but then start to bat it around and she went all over the place with them before eating each piece. She got so invested in the game that she actually fluffed up her tail at one of the pieces that didn't go where she wanted it to. Too funny!
