The Heavy Rain Curse has struck once more - I have no phone line. The DSL line (which is separate) is spotty, but the phone is completely dead.

I have emailed the phone company with a high priority repair request, but my faith in their knowing how to work the internets and email and all that is very low. This is Fairpoint country, after all.

And of course, all this means that Babe will have an unexcused absence on his record until the phone line is repaired, as I can't call the school. Granted, his cough is practically gone now (it being daytime) so I could just hand him off to the school, but I think that would be a tad mean. He had a bad night and needs the rest. As do I.

You know, this only happens when Geoff is out of town. Really, truly. It's like the Universe says, "What need have you to communicate with others? Save your words for your husband, child, like a good wife should."

Good thing? Netflix delivered Nanny McPhee yesterday, so Babe and I watched it. It was delightful, as expected. I may have to watch it again today, especially if the DSL gets as spotty as it was last night.
