This morning Sebastian woke us up with a shriek:
"MY TUMMY HURTS!"
And it sure did. Before long he threw up all over the dining-room rug and the bathroom floor. I placed a request for a call-back from to his doctor this morning; ironically, Teri called me at 12:17 PM from the animal shelter to see if the doctor had called, and when I hung up, voicemail informed me that the doctor had tried to call us at 12:18 PM.
Sigh. I've called back, and he'll try us again soon.
In the meantime, our internet connection has been as horrible as ever. I've tried to measure disconnects this morning, and there have been 13 of them. Mind you, I haven't been re-starting as soon as the connection is broken; I can only check the computer once in a while, since most of the time I'm taking care of Sebastian. He's resting on the couch, drinking a bit of chicken soup and watching The Yellow Submarine.
I used my cell phone to call Cox Cable (I'm not taking a chance on missing the doctor's call again), and they're going to have a supervisor call me (on the cell). The tech was able to confirm that my connection is totally insane, just as I knew. Sometimes an hour can go by with no problem, but at other times there have been 37 losses of signal in an hour.
He also told me that with the "premium" service we're supposed to be getting, I should have download speeds of 15 megabytes per second. One megabyte per minute is closer to what I'm getting off the Cox news server, so that's going to be addressed, too.
