Cassy’s Corner- Dependency
It’s a little after 5 am and I’m writing today’s post. Well, I’m writing it in Word and hoping it will be online before too long. If this is late, I offer my apologies. My father was hospitalized over the weekend and I’ve been north to the family house since Monday. All is going as well as it can---- EXCEPT---- I got up early this morning to write my blog posting and there was no Internet connection. My parents are pretty darn savvy with their technology doings and usually there is no problem. But, it’s early in the morning and I can’t wake my mother to use her computer. Dad is in the hospital and not available until they turn the phones back on. Oh, and today is my birthday, so at the ripe old age I am, I’m sitting here waiting for my parents to help me out and figure why I can’t log onto the Internet and get this post off to all of you.
What does this mean? It got me thinking about dependency. What are the things we must have in our lives to feel as though the world rotates appropriately?
Some need coffee, not for me but I get it.
Some need chocolate, also not for me, but go for it.What do I need?
As of 5 am this morning, I panicked. I need the Internet. I poured some juice, took a deep breath and decided that I was okay. The Internet would return. And it has.
Tell me. What are the things that drive you nuts and you absolutely can’t do without? We all have our lists. What is yours?

I'm insecure, which is funny because I come across as a strong, independent woman in all aspects of my life...except my writing. I also can't speak to a big group, which is also funny because I never shut up.
My point - we all have our little things we wish we could overcome. If needing the internet is all you can think of, I salute you. You've been through a hellish year and made it without too much residual effect.
I'm sending prayers for your father, hugs to you and your mom, and birthday wishes.
Again with the lists Cassy. I'll have to go write one and get back to you. In the mean time I hope things work out well for your father.
Oops. My Bad. Forgot to wish you Happy Birthday.
Happy birthday.
And prayers for your Dad, Mom, and you.
It's not the Internet, but lack of control--in your case, over aging parents' health. Haven't found a cure but exercise may help. But make it mild, as you don't need to be on crutches.
Lists work too, particularly striking through completed items.
Happy birthday Cassy. Sending best wishes to your family.
Everyone- thanks so much for the good wishes. I'm just in off the road from my parents' house. Easy trip back which was a relief given the horrible trip up in rain that I've never seen the likes of before. My Audi needed to transform to an arc.
But, back to what makes us insecure and dependent. What are your "gotta haves?"
Also, Liz, thank you. The year has been a challenge, but that's okay. We move on from there. xxox
Happy Birthday, Cassy. I hope your father feels better and that you get things on track. We really are dependent on technology, as well as other things. Sometimes we don't even realize it.
Cassy, I hope you have a happy birthday -- stretch it out for the whole month, like I do. :) And all kinds of healing wishes for your dad.
I'm totally dependent on the internet, even more so than my coffee! Everything I do is via internet: checking the weather, research, chatting with friends, getting my work schedule. . . You get the idea. It's the first place I turn to so when it's not there. Aaaugh! LOL
Anita: I think you are right. We have become so dependent we don't even realize it's happened. Thanks for your thoughts. Cassy
Donna: I laughed reading your post, as always. You are great. Thanks so much for your thoughts.
