The Internet Has Returned

Well, after 5 days internet-less, it is back! It got cut off prematurely, after faxing Bezek that we would not be needing their services after 31-May. Wanting to show how efficient they are, they cut it off on 20-May, reinstated it on the 22nd (after we called them up and reminded them that we really DO want the internet until the 31st) and then they decided to be super-efficient after all and cut it off again last Thursday. We had no luck getting it back. I guess they are pissed that we are leaving them, and want to make sure that, should we decide at some future date that we are not happy with HOT (our new internet server), we will not be tempted to go back to Bezek.

Thanks, d'uh.

Anyways, the HOT guy came by and hooked us up. I have just about read through outstanding emails from my few lists. Really, in 5 days, there is not much important that comes into my inbox.

Today saw me at the "orthoped," having been suffering a bad pain in my right knee for about three weeks. Running Honey in the agility meet 2 weeks ago didn't help matters, of course. Seems I have an inflammation, and I am taking drugs to counter that, and the doc also recommended I lose a few pounds!!!! Boy!! You'd think I look like Mama Cass!!!! Ok, I admit, though, I have put on about 5 kg, and really should try to get back to 52. So...I'll try to cut down on the chocolate and ice-cream. Drat. Just thinking about it, makes me crave it.

I will try to set myself a goal to lose 4 kg by the end of June. Sound reasonable?

So today, I popped up a batch of popcorn in the mw (no oil) and that will be my snacking medium for a while. (I did tend to go a lot with cookies and cakes....I WILL STOP!!!!)

Now, I shall walk my condiments (Honey and Pepper). That should work off about 122 calories or thereabouts.
