Becoming Unplugged

On Wednesday, Venom and I were assisting Marcus with feedbacks for the Miss SL 2018 Pageant. We had just finished for the day (around 2pm SLT) and I was just about to teleport home to work on a blog post.  Our Internet connection died, with no warning at all. We waited about 10 minutes before calling the Internet Provider to report the outage. After being informed it was part of a known outage, and should be restored by 9 pm our time, I decided I would go for a nap, and finish the post later.  When I woke, still no internet... Venom had called again already and we were told this time that the "known outage" had been repaired and the 'all clear' was sent.  Only for us. this was not the case! The earliest they could come inspect would be Friday morning. 

Some of the time we were "unplugged" Venom and I revisited Sims 4... I made a brand new little character.. Here are some of her adventures!

Sims Fun

Friday comes, and the technician does whatever it is they do, and calls in a "Hot Ticket" and tells us they are sending someone else in the next few hours. So we wait more.. The next tech comes, and checks everything again - tells us the problem definitely is not on our property and (they are in these HUGE trucks that you only see when its something really major) they start checking the line, going down the bayou starting at the back of our property. Knowing this could take a while, I decide to try for a nap. A little while later, V is shrieking at me.. "we have internet!! we have internet!!"  The Cable Tech comes back by and shows us the cause of our problem/ outage -  the line had been completely severed in half!  So thats our exciting  'becoming unplugged' couple of days!!

oh and here's the log in screen that i grabbed quickly after being offline for 2 days...

Last night I dreamed I was at the house I grew up in... and was walking home from somewhere (i don't remember where). As I approached...
