i ment to blog yesterday but i spent all day and night fighting with my internet connection! yesterday was just a hassle.. not a great way to start the new year out. i had to help mom figure out all kinds of bills that dad usually paid… lots of money gone in a matter of seconds. at least he didn’t have any business credit cards to pay off. basically we’re just paying the normal bills.. there was a surprise ebay fee that i didn’t know about but hopefully that was taken care of.

this stuff is really tough because dad didn’t leave any instructions for what to do if he died. mostly i have just been watching his email for things to see if we have payments coming out of paypal or if he paid this or that over the phone… its a real struggle.

then of course mom has to start changing over everything into her name. that hasn’t started yet but i need to get her to hurry up. hopefully it won’t cause any problems because we do not need things shut off suddenly!

after all that junk, the internet started to slow down to a crawl. so i did the normal thing of unplugging the modem, couting to 10 and then plugging it back in. when that didn’t work i called roadrunner tech support which was stupid because all they did was turn my modem off and on a bunch of times and the dude kept giving me the wrong instructions (he kept saying router when he ment modem and modem when he ment router which means i kept having to repeat steps cause i was unplugging the wrong one). when i got off the phone with him i had internet for about 15 minutes. after that it slowed down really badly and i decided to say fuck it, and maybe its just the weather. i live in an area where weather tends to ruin everything. so i took a nap, and figured when i woke up it would be back on. but NO it stayed slow and not working until about 5am when i had finally given up on it and started to figure out something to put me to sleep again.

so yeah.. craptastic first day of the new year.
