stepping up

life here at the edelsteins

 has been expensive

 since the first of the year

 our miele vacuum died

 may it rest in peace

 my parents got it for us

 so

 we know

 its more than 15 years old

 we think

 it was a gift

 after 

we moved

 into

 the

 one bedroom apartment 

we currently live in 

neither of us

 can remember 

how long

 we've been living 

here

 i opted for another miele

 toonman said

 he hoped

 this one

 lasts 

as long as 

the 

now 

dead one

 me too

 we also bought a new airport extreme

 whats that

 some of you are wondering

 its the apple modem

 which

 enables 

a home wifi network

 the one we had

 is 

several  years old

 runs slower 

puts out less of a signal

 for a while now

 even after time-warner cleaned the 'packs' out of our modem

 the signal 

has been iffy

 having

 added a wireless printer to the mix 

 i want faster

 i am going to install it tonight

 i even read the instructions 

so

 hair pulling

 cursing

 crying

 should be at a minimum

 and

 i got the 'new' iphone 6

 i am writing this before getting it activated

 lets hope

 that

 goes smoothly

 and

 i don't lose anything

 crossing fingers

stepping up out of the past
