A Brief Moment, then...

So I was connected for a brief moment and then lost everything again.

I came to the Guild today and brought my laptop with me so I can connect again.  The island will not be back online until April.  I can only post if I bring my laptop to the mainland to get a connection.  I have been trying to get in touch with creditors because I have no connection to receive and pay bills, everything is done online these days and I have no connection.  This has meant getting a barge to the mainland, going into the bank and then trying to pay the bills!  Then not knowing if they received the payment.  And now my inbox is overflowing!!

The other thing I need is more threads, so that order is now flying through the ether! 

My mind is still in survival mode but I need to get back to my Sonnet piece for this month and I underestimated the amount of thread I needed.  As luck would have it there is a old sampler up on the wall here at the Guild.

Just what I need for inspiration.

Oh, goodness, a real trial. I really hope that nothing else goes wrong this year. You've had enough to deal with this year!

Not being connected is really troublesome with all the things we need to do online. Let's hope April comes soon!

That is a beautiful sampler, which you can get a lot of inspiration from.

I hope you and the island are saved from further natural disasters. Once is enough, isn't it?

Thank you. My PTSD came back to make things a bit harder and my husbands ageing has added to the stress.
But the trip into the Guild and 1/2 a day stitching with friends has been the best treatment.
