hilsGod, you don't realise just how reliant on the internet you are until it's gone.
We got sent a new router yesterday and for whatever reason it wasn't working. We called Virgin, who claimed to have fixed it, but it still wasn't working. It didn't come online until some time today while me and Jacqui were at work.
So, last night was fun. I couldn't write because I use google docs, I couldn't watch anything because I use streaming for all my shows, I couldn't play games because apparently you need to be online even for games that don't have any sort of online element.
I eventually managed to get my copy of Sim 4 to work offline by using my phone as a hotspot to log in and switch it onto offline mode. We watched a DVD with dinner like the olden days :D
But we're back now. I'm trying not to tell myself I'm 'behind' on stuff that I didn't do yesterday (mostly my writing) but I may do an extra sprint after dinner. We'll see how I feel.
The idol AU is now nearly 5k and the second chapter is about 3/4 done. Still very much enjoying writing it. I may start posting at the end of the month for Wu Xie week. I have a full outline now and I reckon I'll have 3 or 4 chapters completed by then.
