We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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

That sounds like a land speed record

I absolutely should not complain about this, but: my dad picked up some “cinnamuffins” one of the times he was grocery shopping and we discovered after he got them home that they were made with eggs so Mom couldn’t eat them. So yesterday, he and I had one each, and they were pretty delicious! I woke up this morning thinking “I don’t have to think about what to eat for breakfast, we have two of those muffins left so I can have one of those and that will be good”. Got down to the kitchen and the empty container is in the recycling. Alas. Have to make a decision when I didn’t plan to.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Yesterday UPS kept me hanging, waiting for delivery of a refill of one of my (anti-) cancer medications.

Initial delivery estimate was between 1230 and 1430. At 1400 it got pushed to 1530. Then it got pushed to 1730. Then 1830. Then 2000. Then 2130.

Watching the icon of the delivery truck on the moving map on the UPS app became more and more frustrating. So close, for so long, but not coming that last little bit to my location.

Finally at 2200 the delivery status regressed from "out for delivery" to "on the way" and "calculating new delivery estimate."

Today's estimated delivery is currently between 1430 and 1830. We'll see.

Still feeling leftover frustration more than any anticipation. Still feeling more anger than hope.

The situation is not dire. I ordered the refill with plenty of supply currently on-hand. But still: Grrrrr! Arrrgh!
