Feels like I have travelled back in time to the fourteenth century... or at least the early 1980s.  I've just spent two weeks without access to a computer, while staying at my parent's place.  They see no need whatsoever for modern technology.  I have definitely had withdrawal like symptoms.  At one point I even called my husband and demanded that he read me the latest entry from one of my blog buddies.  
All I can say is, I am really really really glad to be back home, feeling like I inhabit the current decade again!  (And that I am once again being treated like an adult, not a teenager, as my parents seem to still think I am!)  The Boy is definitely missing the grand-parental spoiling, but I am glad to be in my own space, under my own house rules, once again!  
We are winning the flea war, but it isn't over yet...  I think we need the yard sprayed.  Term!nix sucks.  It takes them nearly a week to return phonecalls, and days longer to show up, contract notwithstanding!  And then they do a half assed job.  At least that's my experience.  Next time I sure as hell am not prepaying the two year contract in advance!  They seem to think since they got their money, they are free to blow us off.  Asshats.
