Woke up this morning and my internet was shut off. Called my ISP, who is also my phone & cable provider, and asked what the deal was. My cable & phone were still working, so it was just my net. Spent an hour and a half on hold, only to find out that my cable & phone were about to be shut off, too, and it was due to a back balance.

First, I was told I need $305 to get it turned back on. Well, let’s just say I don’t have $305 right this minute. Second, if I did have $305, it’d probably be needed for more life-and-death shit than my internet. No internet = little contact with KH. My cell phone just isn’t an option for calling the Netherlands and talking all damn day. Needless to say I was not a happy camper at all.

But, the funny thing is, the little crisis this morning (which obviously turned out to have a happy ending) really put a lot of things in perspective. A lot of things that had been bothering me, a lot of issues I was having, were completely laid to rest. The grass on my side of the fence is indeed plenty green.
