The Givans Have No Internet!

The Theresa and Chris Givans, that is, have shutoff the internet at their place as a way of saving some money. Hopefully, when combined with a deferment or income-driven repayment plan on Chris' student loans, that will make our income and expenses commensurate!

So without internet "delivered" to the house we've been relaying on our still-active data plan and phones or other people's internet—in fact, the first time we tried to borrow someone's internet for this post it was Kate's and it turned out to be down thanks to a problem on AT&T's part.

Finally, we've overcome that and borrowed another connection to bring out an update on our typically-uneventful lives. Chris is still at the library part-time, when he remembers to go in, anyways. Monday night I was actually supposed to have gone in, but forgot about it. In my defense, I don't normally work Monday nights, I'd traded with someone else. Fortunately the library is understanding and even allows you to make up the hours.

Theresa is working with Kate to sell clothes via their Lu La Roe consultancy, which went well this past week. Some appointments to see their inventory plus an open house resulted in a solid income for the week's work.

We'll be driving to the Chicago-area for Christmas, to join Theresa's family. We won't actually be in Chicago all that much but bouncing around between the city, Lake Geneva, and Madison, WI.

That's just about all in our little world, I think. Best!
