Today gets mixed reviews. I taught, which I love. My husband got transferred to a rehabilitation center here in town. That will make things easier than having him in a neighboring town.
I am still at the mercy of other people’s schedules. It is what it is but it makes things damn inconvenient. Have to accept it as the best that I can do now.
I am doing the best I can do but I can do better…..I just haven’t figured it out yet!
While waiting for my ride to the rehab, I did my first Amazon Prime Pantry order. I took a free, 30-day Amazon Prime membership to save the shipping cost of $5 and some cents. I got 16 things in the box. The way they work it, you fill a box with groceries. Their computer keeps track of how full your box actually is. With a little bit of effort I got mine to 99% full. Shipping is always the same price so packing the box without over packing is good economics.
Amazon Prime Pantry offers nothing fresh, nothing frozen or refrigerated. (At least in my area. I have been told these are available in urban areas. Click here to learn more about AmazonFresh.) They do have bulky items like laundry detergent and packs of paper towels and toilet paper. Getting those things delivered might be a good idea. Those might be a little tough to walk and carry or take on transportation.
The box is supposed to come in two days. I will give you an update then.
When I got home, the Beastie Baby went crazy. She has been alone too much. I wasn’t going to walk her but I needed milk.
We killed two birds with one stone and walked together to the convenience market.
Since it was after dark, I definitely wore my reflective vest. A lot of what I read said that if you cannot see them, it is doubly important that they can see you. Most of them – the vests, not the drivers! – are adjustable but make sure what you get is big enough just in case. In the winter I wear mine over all my layers of clothing.
Considering I look like the Michelin man in winter, it needs to be plenty big.
Well I really need to go to bed. The crappiest thing about today? The transportation people messed up right out of the gate. The ride I ordered for 8 o’clock is coming at 7!!!!!!
Breathe and accept. Breathe and accept. Try to do better next time. Sigh.
