So, why are we still up?

I paid the cable bill yesterday (which is also our Internet connection bill). I choose this over food because if I play my cards right I'll have some more money, however minor, trickle in over the next couple of days. If I had waited one more day on the cable bill they would have doubled the price of getting the cable plus a reconnect fee. Since all the jobs I am seeking I am finding on the Internet and my coorespondences are by email, I logiced this was a resource I could not let die.
