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!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It was five days from bid to close.
