Outsmarted

There’s wind and rain in Burbank, and my internet went out almost immediately once the inclement weather kicked in. 

“Maybe I’ll sit under a blanket and watch TV,” I thought before realizing the TV I have is connected solely via its little streaming gizmo.

“No problem,” I thought. “I’ll go upstairs and read a book.”

Upstairs, I was cold so I reached for my phone to turn on the heat via Nest.

And that is how I realized I am way too dependent on my internet connection.

Book and blanket it is for tonight.
