Internet Outage

Our internet went out last night around 8:45 p.m. So we turned off our router, took a walk, went to bed. I hoped that the internet would be back when I woke. Alas, it was not. We decided to go to the Mount Vernon Farmers’ Market. We came home around 11:00. Still no internet. We went to Jitterbug Cafe, a new coffee shop in our area, enjoyed their Grand Opening celebration, the food, music, came home around 1:30. No internet. I decided to finish laundry. Lo, my iPad started dinging. Sure enough, I’m getting a billion notification from my friends. I go to Austin.
Me: The internet is back on.
Austin: You’re lying to me.
I pull up Facebook, show him all the new notifications.
Austin: It’s an illusion. You’re just trying to raise my hopes so you can dash them again.
