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
