A Deeply Fascinating Day

My niece got a laptop for Christmas, which of course means she's already using it. And which of course meant she needed a wireless router for the house, and a new modem to go with it since the model they had was suckage itself. The modem/router we mail-ordered for them arrived today, which means I spent a considerable amount of time this morning (and while I was trying to eat lunch) talking my utterly hopeless sister and my slightly-less-hopeless-but-still-learning teenaged niece through installing it and setting everything up via trans-Atlantic phonecall. With breaks for the periods during which my sister tried to remember where she might have made a note of her ISP password, and other such minor things.
In and around all this, and for most of the afternoon, I've determinedly ignored the allure of Sands talking to me, and have made google and various internet stores my intimate friends, as a result of which it is now 7pm and I can announce that I am Done With Christmas. Unless, you know, I've forgotten somebody, which isn't entirely unknown. But thinking I'm Done With Christmas is more than good enough for today, and now I feel I deserve some Me Time. But sadly, I need to cook food instead.
