I know, right? Today I got a bunch of cute, size 2-3T underpants for my granddaughter who goes potty now, from Amazon. It’s a bit sad how little it takes to amuse me these days.
I have this fantasy where the USPS, UPS, Federal Express, DHL, and Amazon all show up at once with packages for me. I once had 2 delivery services show up at once. One of them said to me "You're a lucky man."
The highlight of my day today will be receiving my Amazon order. I’m tired of waiting for it.
It's so funny, I always talk about remembering the days where it took the standard "6 to 8 weeks" for delivery. Then we were up to the point where you could literally have something delivered later the same day. But now, because of COVID, back to delayed shipping times.

I saw a truck pull up yesterday and wondered if it was something I had ordered. Then I realized they were unloading a refrigerator. My fridge is only about three years old, but it makes weird noises and annoys me, and last week I had mildly entertained the idea of getting a different one.
When I saw it come off the truck, I had a moment of panic when I wondered if I had ordered a refrigerator and forgotten, maybe late one night after that last glass of wine that I shouldn't have had. But, no, they took it up my neighbor's walk instead. Whew.

"Chardonnay shopping."
One time my SO and I were having drinks and went online. He went to eBay and bid on a refurbished computer. The next morning he realized that he had bid on two of them, from different sellers. He was sweatin' bullets while the auctions timed out. Luckily, he only won the one computer. lol
(As a side note, based on this purchase, he doesn't recommend buying a refurbished computer.)

I was sober, but I just asked for a price quote on a microscope for work once, and was very surprised when the microscope showed up. We kept it and paid for it.
Our regular grocery store is still not up to snuff with the toilet paper and paper towels. I had never realized how many brands and types of paper products there are, especially with the toilet paper. We go from paper-thin that disintegrates in the wind, to apparently high-end stuff that comes in a lengthy, sleekly-designed, hermetically-sealed plastic package, and with bleached-white, glossy cardboard cores.
We are watching a lot of movies in the evenings during pandemic. We have Amazon Prime and Netflix. Additionally, we have Brit Box through Amazon. Even with all of these options, we still end up paying a few extra bucks to see the movies we would rather see.
Plus, we pay for TCM, because we (meaning I) like old movies.
I prefer to download books from the library.
I think I’ve read everything that the library offers.
If I have to start paying for books to read, I’ll be broke by the time this pandemic is over.
We are drowning in Armenian cucumbers, Basil and tomatoes! My usual recipients as in SO's office are not available and neighbors are starting to avoid me. Help!!!!
