How Numb Feet and Wifi are Connected

So right now my foot is very very numb. And what is the reason for that? Well, it could be because I was sitting on it for an hour while I watched about 30 videos on Youtube, but I think I have a better person to blame that myself. Well, really two people.
   My parents.
    Why am I blaming my parents? Well, firstly because it was their choice to move out computer into the basement. The basement is underground(of course...we can't have an above-ground basement, that would be weird) and it is very cold down here. Even in the middle of the summer I would have to wear socks or risk my toes falling off, or at leats turining blue-ish.
     Secondly, they decided to put in tile floors. I am talking the stone(are tiles make of stone? I think it might be fake-stone. I really don;t know). The basement floor was made of concrete before, so you'd think it wouldn't make that much of a difference. But it does. The tiles somehow locked in the cold. Since we are still in the middle of making the basement look like a real room and not a set out of one of those horror movies where basements are used only for storage(storage of old , unwanted clothes, and storage of those annoying dead people who for some reason want to kill you) we have no rugs to keep the floor somewhat warm. And little rug(like a floor mat or even a towel) I try to bring down for my feet to be set on will be confisticated by Jasper, our dog. And when Jasper finds something he wants, he will not give it back without trying to bite your hand off. So I just leave that alone.
    (Note: I believe it is  my mother's fault for driving our dog insane. Do I even need a reason to back that up?)
       All of these computer problems could be solved if we could buy a lap top, or  a rug, or move the computer back up to the room across from mine that now has no use except to store unused Barbies and to fold laundry. There are  however problems with this.
      We cannot buy a laptop or all the rugs we would need to make it warm down here because my parents have to buy other things. Like braces for my sister(her teeth were fine I say. They made her look slightly rabbit-like. A cute rabbit look!!) and a new ignition thing for the car..and many other things. Plus my mom refused to even get a computer until I was in 5th grade. She wants me to be just as technology-challenged as I can possibly be.  So I guess that won't happen anytime soon. I could try to save up to buy a laptop, but I figure a car and college should come first....plus it would seriously cut into my nail-polish find. And I have to buy a new bottle of nail polish every time we go to Walmart. So that would be a problem.
     And about moving it up to the old room(which would be SO NICE since it's right across from my room and I could be lazy like I want to and just roll out of bed and get on facebook..... The only problem with that is that our wifi barely works. We have had about 10 charter guys out here and they all say they don;t know what is wrong. It just won;t reach the upstairs. I don;t understand this. I mean, my sister can pick up the wifi from the dude at the top of the hill who has all those Rams flags in his yard. Why can't we get it in our own house?
     I will never understand that.

  1. Now I feel guilty. Over Thanksgiving break we had five computers operating in this house, and I STILL had to wait my turn for the internet. All on comfy couches though...
