Aside from excursions to T.O.P.S. and Von's, I was stuck inside all day on Friday. Happily, I got out yesterday after spending a few hours in the morning finishing up Christmas cards. Packed my lunch, then walked to the P.O. to buy more stamps (I got some Kwanza, too), and mail the completed ones. Bused from there to town and stopped in a few shops.
Ate my lunch at my favored place across from the mission, then bused to the mall/transit center. Went to Target for grapefruit, crackers, and ground turkey. Home, I saw the Amazon guy at my front walk. He gave me a package and I thought, "Good, it's A Great Flash of Light, by Mary Ann's husband;" I had been alerted it would come on the fourteenth...
...NOT! I was sent this:
Went into Amazon and found a notice that my book had been delayed, but should get here today. This is the second time in a week Amazon screwed up: A few days ago, I got two rather nice kitchen towels from them (or it), in cellophane--or whatever it's called nowadays--and tied with a ribbon. I notified them I hadn't ordered it and read that I should just keep it. Okay, fine by me, and I'll keep the book above, too, but I want the one I ordered and paid for. I did get notified that it had been delayed in shipment, but would get here today.
Sent See's candy for Christmas to the Tokyo gang via Amazon Japan. Think I'll do the same for others, but I still have to get other gifts.
It rained a teensy bit here and there, but it was California rain, so I didn't even bother to take an umbrella. Speaking of weather: Yesterday, about 6:15 am shortly after I got up, there was a great clap/roar of noise. Was it thunder? That's very unusual here, for some atmospheric reason. Maybe a jet plane or something? Maybe a nuclear bomb and I'm really not typing this, but have been pulverized into an afterlife? Sure, that must be it.
