Stay At Home

Stay at home
out of the crowds,
stay healthy
and don't bitch or groan.

Stay at home
until this health crisis passes,
and when it does
go to a movie,
out to eat,
or for a walk
around the block.

Stay at home
and work online,
or pick up the telephone
and call a friend.

I feel cut off from the world in Las Vegas

Kamál (Perfection), 13 Qawl (Speech), 168 BE – Monday, December 5, 2011 about 2:05 PM Pacific Time

I cannot make or receive calls on either my landline or cell phone. I e-mailed my cell phone provider this morning. The reply they sent said it would take about 48 hours to solve the problem. The phone connected to my landline does not work. I either need to get a new phone or a cable to fix the phone, in the mean time I am out of contact with the rest of the world.

I need to get a headset and a microphone so that I can download Skype to my computer. I do not like the feeling cut off from the world. I can check my landline voice mail online, but I cannot contact anyone back until I get either the landline phone fixed or cell phone.

One of the blessings of modern life and technology is a connection to the rest of the planet. I have been lax in checking my Facebook page, but no longer. From now on, I will check my Facebook page at least every other day, if not everyday. In addition, I have to get a headset and microphone so that I can use Skype.

Five days into the New Year of 2010

Five days into twenty-ten and the sun sets a little later each day. In Las Vegas, the temperatures are in the forties and fifties. I have a new electric can opener in the house, so I do not have to use a manual can opener any more. I have a new corded telephone on order and expect it to arrive in ten to fifteen business days.

I went to see the breast specialist yesterday, I am waiting for someone to call me back about an ultrasound appointment. I will wait until tomorrow to call about again about the appointment. In the meantime, I have work here at home to keep my mind occupied. If I keep my mind busy then I do not worry.

I just received weird call

The phone ring, I saved the MSWord document, then got up and went to the phone. I reached the phone before the fourth ring, which is an accomplishment since the phone (the voice mail picks up on the fourth ring) is in the breakfast room and my computer is in the living room.

I said hello and the only thing I heard was music. It was nice, pleasant canned music and I hung the phone up. I do not have a telephone to listen to music. If I want to listen to music, I have a radio, I have a television, I have a computer and can use one of those items.

I am presuming that whoever dialed my number will call back. When they do call back, a living human being had better be on the other end. I have not intention of listening to music when someone else calls me and then puts me on hold.

If I make the call, then yes I will wait on hold, at least, until the battery in my phone goes dead. I will not wait on hold when someone else calls me.
