The Umbilical cord

I have often joked about the King’s

cell phone being his umbilical cord.

without it.. he is so lost.

Me? I gave up my cell phone almost 14

years ago. I kept leaving it on the table

anyway.. so cancelled it and saved 30

some odd dollars, when I retired. So I don’t care.

But have found my umbilical cord. The

Internet. …  I had to do from Monday night

to Tuesday late morning… without.

I could think of so many things I could do

IF ONLY I had my internet. It wasn’t just

Facebook connecting with my friends and

family, but other things as well..

With the losing of my hearing slowly but surely,

It is easier to communicate with my family by

emails or messages.  So leaving a note that night

was frustrating.    I did find out one of my friends

did miss me as she messaged me ..and wondered

if I was ok.. She is a sweet person…

Funny, when I was down in Portland most of

July and August and part of Sept.. 10 days at

a time with out internet… I was fine.. but at home

It was harder..  Guess because I was so busy

down there.. I didn’t have time to miss it so much,

and had left messages to the ones I talk to the

most that I was going to be gone.

Funny how we become attached to our electronics.
