Get the tamiflu, what can it hurt?? Oh Mr Flea, don't be a sillyhead.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Just sang carols at two nursing homes (my father's + a friend's), which was nice, but now I just want to sit around, and I should probably do other things today! If nothing else, replace at least one of the non-working strings of lights on the front of the house.

Our wings are not tired.
Taking a food break from my pruning adventures. Trying to clean up the flower beds prior to feeding them. Took some branches off the fruit trees too. The grapefruit tree has thorns as long as my fingers! Most impressive.

Ugh. So, I ordered a shirt from teeFury back in November. On 12/1 they said it shipped but it never showed up. 12/9 I put in a customer service request asking where it is. 12/15 they finally say oh, sorry, we didn't mean to tell you it shipped, we just got the shirts and are sending now. They actually shipped 12/17. So it won't get here until after I'm gone for the holidays.
So I go on amazon once that's clear. Order for prime delivery on Tuesday night, which means it should arrive Friday. It did not. So I look today and it now says it won't be here until Monday. Yup. After I'm gone. So I call Amazon, and the dude is like "I looked at your order--I talked to the shipper--we can guarantee it will arrive Monday!" Dude. I don't care what you guarantee at this point, it's too late!!! Ugh. They now claim they can't reroute it but if I order today to be shipped to my sister it will get there Tuesday! Dude. Seriously? I ordered Tuesday night and it won't be here until Monday, but if I order Saturday it will be there Tuesday???

That's ridiculous, meara.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
I'd bet folding money on Tuesday being when they would tell you it hasn't shipped yet, but will be at your sister's by New Year's.

Exactly, Matt! So irksome. Especially because this is a gift for a kid, I don't want to be like 'Uh, I got you a present but it's not here yet?" AND it's freakin' annoying to have to (a) spend extra money to ship it after the holidays, and (b) GO to the post office!!

I have basically nothing to eat in the house, and I don't feel like going to the store now. This is the problem with winter -- 5pm is a perfectly reasonable time to grocery shop, but now it's dark out and and I'm cozy inside! Solstice tomorrow!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hooray solstice! I am so ready.
Got my packages mailed and they will supposedly arrive before Xmas. Picked up an eggnog latte and a peppermint mocha cake pop as my reward. Not loving the latte, but glad I tried it I suppose. My barista did not give me my receipt with a new code to see if I won anything, boo.
Also plugged in the heated cat bed that Amazon suggested I might be interested in and put it in a spot where I have seen my 15-year old Jadzia sleeping. Maybe she will like it. She never took to the fleece cubbyhole I got for her. If she doesn't, I will move it to one of Pixie's spots, I know she likes heated things to sleep on.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
"Just a few errands" turned into "4-hour retail blitz involving both Costco and Target". On the plus side, don't plan to do any more. Also, I managed not get LDB'ed, and since I'm totally determined not to go near any kind of retail establishment for the next week, I may be in the clear.
(And with that, someone's probably going to drive by blasting it really loud now.)
