Unplugged
I spent a big part of the last ten days unplugged – no phone calls, no cell phone possible, no internet, no email, no local or national news. The classic thing is to say I loved it, and it was wonderful. That’s a lie. Being unplugged is very unsettling, at least for me. I had no idea if my kids were OK, if our pets were safe, if my house was still standing, or if the country was in turmoil. Being unplugged from stuff you DON’T like is great, but when it comes to the stuff you DO care about, it’s hard on the mind and soul. Being unplugged, though, sure didn’t keep me from having a great time.
