What Sort of Relationship Is This?

Dear Internet,

During the last week, when we were forced to separate because of a downed modem, I had time to review our relationship. In the beginning I missed you like crazy. I wondered what I was missing and who else you were seeing.... not to mention worried about how exactly I was going to pay my bills this month. Use stamps, checks, and snail mail? I think not!

 After awhile I came to grips with my jealousy and I tried to distract myself with other things. Turns out that when you don't go online you really do have time for more things. I knitted a baby sweater and a half and I started a blanket. I read two books. I caught up on sleep. I did laundry. In short I learned that I could get by without you, but I really don't want to have to. Sure I may have been productive, but now it feels like I'm never fully going to catch up. I think I'm officially your slave.

Accepting defeating,
me
