Framed Print & technology silence

Keegan in Anacortes emailed me a photo of her new print all framed and hanging in her home. I love seeing these pics! Thank you Keegan!

In other news, I’ve been plagued by technology issues the past two weeks, which has been a blessing in disguise actually. Turns out I really appreciate the quiet of not being tethered to the internet and I’m questioning my relationship with it altogether.

My old i-phone broke the last time I was on the mainland. I now have a new-to-me older model one from eBay, but it apparently needs a new SIM card. That’s on the way. I also left my laptop cord on the boat on the mainland, and my backup cord at home frayed beyond repair. I ordered a new one of those, but the wrong one was sent.

I do have an iPad, which I’m using now. But I only have access to it and my pokey island internet in the morning and the evening when I’m home. Otherwise, I’m now technology-free during the day. If I need to speak to someone, I walk or drive to their house or wait until evening to contact them. Just like the old days.

I’m really enjoying no tech during the day, and plan to continue even when the SIM card and correct laptop cord arrive. Perhaps I’ll even cancel the internet altogether since it’s so pokey and expensive anyways, and just use my phone connection in the evenings or on occasion.
