Not the modem but the router.

Last night, I was able to get the new modem all set up and working but the router's old so it has issues. That meant that most of last night was spent talking to the router company so we could get a level 2 technician to help us, which required paying them money. So we finally get that working and then my cell phone battery dies so I start recharging it, we call them and are actually given a case number. Our technician had left a message on my phone but no number to call back or case number.

At the moment I'm at the public library since the process of getting router to talk to modem had already started when my phone died and I don't feel up to disconnecting stuff. I'm going to enjoy an hour or so here catching up and actually being online and then maybe get some lunch. I was hoping to try and talk to the children's librarian since she's the one I really want to volunteer with but she's not in at the moment.

And I really feel like I'm getting sick, I don't know how much of this is just the wear and tear of dealing with all the internet stuff and how much is actually being sick but it sucks. I need to figure out something to do this weekend which will be silly and pampering and just for me after all of this mess.

Some downs and ups.

After checking on the library computer, I went to talk to the children's librarian and will be doing storytime next Wednesday morning which makes me excited and nervous. Then I went home and my Mom and I realized, our router is four years old, buying a new one would probably just be simpler.

Before that point though, firefox kept crashing on my laptop which is now connected directly to the modem again and Mom's calling the router company to cancel the technician thing from last night since we're going to get a new router. Is there a new version of firefox that I need to download that will stop it freezing so much?

I'm just so tired of all this. We tried to just hook a printer up to my laptop to print something and even that didn't work. This will get sorted somehow, I know it, I just wish that it wasn't wearing me down so much.

At least this morning, I was able to look at some new job sites and get some progress on library things. I'm just going to hold on to that for now before Mom and I start doing lots of errands and things.

ETA: Have a new router which is shiny and nice but still not seeing the internet, part of the problem is that both router and modem seem to want to talk to my laptop but that's not quite possible at the moment.

I can have Wireless!!

I have wireless again, currently it has an annoying extra step that it didn't have before but I'm sitting downstairs watching Smallville.

I don't even want to think about how long it took to get it working but now its time to finish making dinner and eat and then tonight, I can be up late and be warm.

*hugs everyone*
