Dependency

I am acutely aware this week of how dependent I am on modern conveniences.

I miss the mail. Not only do I miss the mail but the postal strike has thrown us for a real loop! We were doing really well on our budget but we really depend on my cheques right now and we aren't getting them. I have no idea when they will be here and that's maddening. I'm really glad I don't rely on the pony express anymore! We are supposed to leave on a small vacation on Sunday and we budgeted funds for that out of the cheque we aren't getting till who knows when. BOO!

Our van is being ridiculous again. We took it in for an oil and tire change yesterday and it decided not to start again. It's amazing how much you take for granted that your car will just start. It really makes me realize how I don't even think about it, until it doesn't!

Our phone is also on the fritz and I'm waiting to find out why. Being unable to call long distance is very annoying! I forget all the time and go to call out only to get the crazy tone.

These are all things that I've grown accustomed to working smoothly and boy is it frustrating to have no control over them right now!
