A Less Than Smooth Transition
Hello, world. I’m back online. Thank God.
My family and I made the move from the church rectory to our very own apartment in Rogers Park on Saturday, December 20th. My forward-thinking husband had made arrangements for our internet provider to be at our new place on Monday, December 22 to switch our service over.
As you can tell, that didn’t quite work out.
Somehow, the building we live in isn’t set up? wired? for the kind of service we used to have (it was cable internet… nothing fancy), so we ended up having to cancel that service and start fresh with AT&T. Unfortunately, we hit at least three or four roadblocks while trying to get service started with them, and the end result was no internet for 25 days. TWENTY-FIVE DAYS.
Honestly, I don’t know how I survived.
But! Now I’m back. I’ll be trying to get caught up on here over the next two weeks, so look for frequent posting. I’m going to hold off on writing Jude’s monthly letter until around the 21st and make it a huge quarter-of-a-year deal and load it down with pictures. So, you can stay tuned for that as well.
I missed you, internets. It’s nice to be home.

Missed you too. I’m glad to see you’re back
I’ve been checking almost every day for about two weeks to see if you were back yet. I can completely empathize–we were without internet for a month, and I thought I would die. Thank goodness our local library is only a mile and half away … kept me sane!
Welcome back
Thanks, Louise! It’s sad how disconnected I felt while living sans internets. I kept thinking, “OH! I should write about this!” or “Man, I wish I had a recipe for vegetable curry,” and I couldn’t do anything about it.
I hope you’re well!
