Phone service still out in my neighborhood

The phone is still out. Theoretically it will be fixed tomorrow but I hear there were seven or eight trucks down the street working on it all day and still no joy.

The most annoying thing is that if anyone calls me they get my voice mail so people must be thinking I'm ignoring them.

Sunday our furnace stopped working, the phone went out Monday, today my mouse stopped functioning. Of all these only the mouse was a huge problem. Even though it was like 21 degrees on Sunday we sort of stayed warmish what with crowding everyone in my room, turning on the computers and bringing the cats in to keep our feet warm...
