I've blown it, now. I agreed some time ago to watch my mother's dog while she and my sister were out of town. It seemed the kind thing to do, after all. I like the dog and it was an excuse to get out of the house.

So starting tomorrow night I'm living over at my mother's house instead of here at Ex-Stepfather Central. I would be happier except for news I was just delivered:

The computer is down for the count. It's kaput and does not function. This means I am about to spend just over two weeks (from Thursday night to Saturday, August 7th) away from the computer and all, in a sense, of my friends.

So now I'm worried.

Add to this that the Cheerleader is going on vacation as well, and you begin to understand that I'm without people for over two weeks.

What to do without going crazy? How do I maintain sanity under such conditions?

I do not know, but I must try.

My apologies to those I will not see on-line for the next two weeks. I will miss them, and I was not planning on being without computer access during this time.

Anyway, I'm suffering from a panic attack. It scares me, truly, to wonder what shall become of me during these two weeks. Perhaps I shall grow. At the very least I know I shall survive.

Wish me luck, voyeurs and voyeurettes.
