We have functional connection again. Yay. No autopsy has been performed on the deceased modem; it has been interred appropriately in the bin.
Definitely not well. But at least I don't have to be awake tomorrow to deal with the electrician, 'cause
teinedreugan is, so I can curl up in an unhappy knot for as long as I feel the need to do so. The cats, at least, appear to be entirely recovered from whatever their problem was. (Or at least Lennon's; not sure if Arthur had something.)
Odd name fraughtnesses update: I realised in trying to explain who the heck I was to someone who knew me by the legal something like ten years ago that I can't come out and say, "I'm so-and-so" using the legal forename, because it feels like a lie. So I'm up to the full legal being passable-acceptable, if not favored, and just the forename being a case of severe tire damage, do not back up.[*] Not sure how I'm doing on pinging on Kiya as me at this point, though I'm getting practice at doing so, which is good.
Names are hard. Let's go shopping.
Or sleeping. Let's go sleeping.
Yeah.
Edited to add: [*] Oddly reminded of feeling the need to argue for not being referred to by the legal name in temple/ritual context a while back. Didn't accept the axiom that the legal is more real then, can't get there from here at all now.
