SLIDING HOME
By admin. Filed in survey |
I am considering entering myself in the genius book of world records, as today I am a statistical phenomenon. The past 24 hours began with internet issues that required defragging, rebooting, anti virulent interaction and several costly emergency visits from my service provider. The router, the either net , the intra nets and modem box were scanned, checked and vetted. My computer, however, continues to turn off at random and sporadic intervals. It is either infected with a virus or possessed. (Either way, serious and possibly repairable trust issue have ensued)
Aside from the computer, my air conditioning is broken. As we live in south Florida and it is the height of summer (ergo the average temperature is elevated 10 degrees, but humidity is raised 110 %) Our house resembles a steam bath. Aside from the mold issues, my skin glows. The lack of frozen Popsicles and ice cubes is also raising my suspicions about the longevity of our 2 year old freezer. I am hoping though that the inactivity is related to my daughter, utilizing knowledge gained from the kardashian sisters education television and jamming ice cubes down her pants to alleviate excess body heat.
Moreover, The washer is leaking, the car window won’t close and my daughters cell phone won’t text (don’t care so much about that as I discovered she is still capable of oral communique – mostly while her internet loads or during face book log in)
Toward the end of the day, I needed a break (and was slightly frightened to touch another appliance). I seized on an opportunity enjoy a summer evening with my kids. As we were looking to escape the heat, we headed outdoors for a bike ride. Amid the darting between raindrops, dodging traffic and lightening bolts. We debated the statistical odds of electric connectivity as it pertained to swimming and driving, drag raced, tried to see how could pop the highest wheeling and who could pedal backwards the fastest. Just as I had determined that intrinsic reward of my technical implosion, the bike chain broke.
