Well, That Was Interesting

Let's just say it has been an interesting few days. When Prime Day came around, I only had a $10 gift card on my account and used that to get 2 fairly cheap books. I was hoping that I would be able to find either a movie that was on sale or a couple books that I had been eying on sale but they were not. The movies that were on sale were something that I already have or just not interesting. So I had to content myself with two books. I'm not mad but I find that Amazon Prime Day not as exciting as it used to be. I am not seeing the sales that I have seen in years past but maybe it's because my financial circumstances are diminished but slowly stabilizing. The pesky cellphone bill, dog food and a couple other things pretty much eat up my paycheck and I have to make sure that the obligations are taken care of first.

Somehow, I had the pleasure of losing my internet service. The bill was paid and nobody could tell use what the hell was going on. We had a ticket and someone was supposed to show up on Friday but never showed. Then we had to wait until Monday afternoon to have someone come and replace our router and mess around with something else. Friday and Saturday were the days were I could take advantage of my work's WiFi system but the rest of the time, I was pretty much burning through my cellphone data. That does remind me to look into upgrading my cellphone service but pennies have to be saved up for that one.

It is amazing how dependent one becomes on the internet. I remember the days of dial up and you really couldn't use the internet for much or long without tying up a phone line. With DSL, it's a whole different matter. I couldn't play my Xbox, wasn't able to stream Netflix, I was limited to the books and movies that I downloaded to my kindle but there wasn't that much to really keep me occupied. There is only so much cleaning that one can do as well to kill time. Now I am playing catch up on a few things.
