My mother entered the hospital on Wednesday for her 2nd (count ‘em… two) hip replacement. Her first was a year or two ago and I stayed over her apartment and took care of the place and the cats. Then she learned her other hip had to be replaced. Must be fun.

“I am Robo-Mom!”

The point is, tonight I grabbed my tower and beloved optical-mouse, clothes, and whatever else I needed and headed over to the apartment. I realized “SHIT! She doesn’t have a cable running in here for my cable modem.” So I just had to install my old 56k and intall her AOL account onto my hard drive….. and that’s where I am now. On a dial-up…. through AOL. Ugh.

But everything else is the same. Same computer, same AIM and Yahoo! IM names and all connected. Feels comfy, but I’m going to die of impatience when it (my patience) is tested by this “thing.”

I will be here for the next week indefinitly and will probably be here for around another month or two off and on. I’m not sure exactly what will be going on. I miss my office chair. I pulled in the big ol’ cushioned swivel chair to sit on. I’m so low to the ground!

The cozcam is offline until I’m set up again at mi casa. Until then, you’ll see the dreaded “Offline” picture I have up there.

I suppose that’s all for now.
