silver_chipmunkGot up this morning at 9:00 and had breakfast and coffee. Showered and dressed and headed to my Al-anon meeting by the 28 bus.
I made it on time and the meeting was very good. I got a ride to the diner afterward with S, and had a bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant and an iced coffee.
Then I took the 13 bus, which I just made, to the 12, which I had to wait longer than I liked for. All the time the sky was getting darker and darker but I didn't worry because the thunderstorms weren't supposed to come til later according to my weather app.
The bus finally came and the sky got darker and darker as we headed toward Flushing. I got out at Parsons Blvd, and it was pretty obvious that the heavens were going to open soon. I just hoped it would wait til I got home.
It didn't. There was some impressive thunder, and as I turned down 35th Ave, the rain began. It was a deluge. By the time I got home, I was soaked to the skin, and my hair was drenched.
I got out of my clothes and put on sweat pants and a tee shirt and hung my pants, bra, and tee shirt in the bathroom. Then I got on the computer to Zoom the Starsky and Hutch chat.
And that is why I ask was Verizon having issues. Because for several hours I could not get a good connection with Zoom. The computer would freeze up, and/or Zoom would disconnect and crash. I restarted the computer about three times to try and get it to work. I kept getting a notice that my internet was unstable. Then, about an hour before the chat ended, it all cleared up. I got a good connection, there were no issues... so I wonder, was it the computer, or was it the Fios?
After the chat ended, I logged in to Teams and kept it open until 7:00 when I Teamed the FWiB. It was slow to connect, but once it did, no issues. We talked for an hour and a half with no problem.
After that, I went to the bedroom and played on my phone, and continued reading The Secret of Chimneys. Textedmashfanficchick, who is airborne now, and heading home.
At pet feeding time I came out and fed the pets, and here I am. The computer seems to be working well... so did anyone else have issues with Verizon Fios today? I suppose it could have had something to do with the weather...
Who knows?
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. My meetings and the people there.
3. I got into the chat finally.
