auntiemeeshI seem to have broken my Comcast router/modem thing. It usually sits on the floor, but I'd put it up out of the way while I vacuumed. Somehow or other, it got knocked onto the floor, and now it's completely dead. This means my phone (my one and only phone) is also dead. Which makes it kind of hard to call Comcast and let them know I'm having trouble.
Luckily, I'm babysitting tonight. The kids are in bed, the hockey is on, and I've called the cable company. They've got me slotted for tomorrow afternoon (4-7) with a possibility of getting them between 8 and 10 am if someone cancels.
At the same time, I've been given three tickets to the baseball game tomorrow afternoon, with a 1:35 start time, which I'd love to use. However, in order to be home by four, I'd probably have to leave the game a little early. I'm told they're good seats, though, and I'd hate for them to go to waste. Stupid modem, getting in the way of having fun. *pouts*
ETA: *sigh* I'm just a dummy. I thought I'd checked all the cords and cables, but apparently the power cord I checked was the adapter for the laptop, not the router. Yep, it was unplugged. So, good news is, everything is all fixed up.
Bad news is, the Pens are in the process of being shut out by the Redwings. The Pens just haven't been able to make anything work tonight, they have about a minute left, and Ruutu just got himself sent to the penalty box. Not a happy night for the boys.
