Berry Oatmeal Muffins #MuffinMonday

To

As I type this, I'm at my cousin's house, mooching off her WiFi while attending my friend's virtual baby sprinkle. Two weeks ago, my internet went down. I didn't pay much attention to it that night as it had been crappy all day. But the next morning when it was still down, I called my ISP. My house phone was also down so I figured this was some kinda wiring issue. It took them a few days to get out to me. I was right but I really could not have guessed the circumstances. Apparently, someone STOLE the cables on my street. Sure enough, when I looked out to the pole, I could see the ends of cables dangling. I don't know how they did it and I don't really know why. Word in the street is that they sell the copper inside. I called my ISP for an update and was told I need to call back on Monday. I have spoken to several persons who have mentioned that it takes ages for them to fix the cables in these circumstances. One friend has been waiting for 2 years. I don't have 2 years so when I do speak to them, I'm going to have to discuss alternatives. Yesterday I noticed the competitor's van in the area. They previously didn't offer service around here so I was just stuck with a sucky provider. But I need to look into whether they have finally expanded. Let me add that to my "Things to Do while I'm on WiFi List". It's long.

For the first time ever, I made my muffins weeks in advance. Good thing too because I would not have had broadband to spend hours researching recipes and obsessing over what to do. I adapted these from Sally Baking Addiction. They are really soft and moist and delicious. Even my 18-month-old nephew who isn't so keen on eating, enjoyed a few bites.
