Wandering Aimlessly

Four inches. She cut off four inches. Do you know how long it takes my hair to grow four inches? Ah well. Now it's healthy and fuller... and just-past-shoulder length. Such is life.

So I went in to set up my grandparents' cable internet. When I called to tell them I was on m way, my grandma told me that she either had heart burn or was having a heart attack, but not to worry(!!!), she'd leave me a key if they went to the hospital. Just like that. When I got there, though, she felt fine. Hopefully she stays feeling fine. =/ Now I'm all worried about her, even though she's told me again and again and again that she feels great and it's nothing.

I couldn't set up the cable internet, though. Turns out their computer is only 133 MHz, and it needs to be at least 166. And apparently there's no way to upgrade that. I'm clueless about all that hardware stuff, so I called around to about eight different people, and finally the last guy told me I'd need a whole new computer. Well, gosh. They're 75 years old, don't know anything about computers past writing an email, and just wanted their phone line to be able to stay open while they're doing so. They don't need a fancy-schmancy $1000+ wiz computer. Their second-hand, slower-than-anything machine serves its purpose. So that was a bummer to my grandpa, who is now talking about getting a second phone line installed.
