Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

t if it said that I'd assume the person I ordered from had created a label but not actually given it to the carrier yet and would check back the next day. If it said that for several days I'd contact the shipper. I probably wouldn't contact the carrier at all, beyond checking the number on their website repeatedly

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Thanks, meara. I needed an outside opinion, I'm too in the middle of this to be able to see what's normal.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr. S is still not falling asleep until after 10, though we're waking him up at 8 all the same. The nanny was here for most of the day(Gary had conference calls all day) and she took him outside for a while this afternoon. You'd think he'd be more tired than he seems to be, and would fall asleep for quickly, but so far. no.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

We're dealing with a similar situation, Sheryl. ltc is tired and cranky all day, but continues to stay up "reading" until at least 9:30 every night.

Punishingly Intricate

-t, that just sounds incredibly pointless.

Our governor just lifted the stay at home order by 50% whatever the fuck that means. So stupid.

Reread my tracking question - meant to say "if you contact the vendor" but meara answered that anyway

Lifted by 50%? That's cryptic.

I wound up having the leftover stirfry over baked potatoes and saved the casserole for tonight.

In more me-me-me news, I'm having to have minor surgery on a tendon in my hand, and they've got a policy of having any surgery patients test for COVID. So I went in Saturday and got swabbed(Bleh) and just got the results back: I am CERTIFIED ZOMBIE-FREE!

A bit of good news in all the mess.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I think "normal" is a concept that has lost its meaning at this point.
