bad news and good news

The bad news: "my" internet connection still hasn't come back, and at this point I must doubt that it ever will. So for the foreseeable, I'll only be online 2 or 3 times a week (once a week from Starbucks, one or twice a week from the public library, which is free but also a lot more limited in what I can do and how long I can spend doing it).

This is inconvenient, but I'll still be around enough to read fic and talk a bit, if in a slow and time-delayed manner.

Good news: Today I had the delightful and extremely rare experience of checking my bank account and discovering that there was more money in it than I thought there was. Still not a whole lot of money, but enough to pay the bills etc., which is good.
