At the risk if jinxing it, I think it's looking like Fuck with Susandennis Week is over.
The bed thing was the biggie. Now that I have the attention of the right people at the bed store, I have no doubt things will go swimmingly from here on out. I appreciate their stepping up to the plate. One of the more impressive things in the manager's letter was her mentioning that not only was my mistreatment an aberration for the store, it was also, apparently totally out of character for Matt, the salesman. I am sorry that Matt dropped the ball and I'm sure he is too, now. (But most of all, I totally appreciate that she not only did not throw him under the bus, she didn't waste anyone's time or credibility trying to excuse with blame.)
Hopefully the bed will be here soon and I'll be massaged into forgetting how painful it was to get!
This morning I woke to a love note from the goggles lady. My note to her suggested that probably the tinted lenses were sent by mistake. Her note to me was yes, they were. She's sending me replacement clear goggles and a prepaid mailer to return the tinted ones. Perfect solution. Nice.
This morning's swim was kind of different. First of all, getting out of bed was way more difficult than usual. Then the first few laps were not that much fun either. Also it was crowded - with people I had not seen before. But, I got into it. My lane cleared out of the people going too fast and too slow and it all turned out fine.
Now that I have a reliable audio system for swimming, it occurred to me this morning that maybe I could load on an audible book and swim while being read a story! When I got home I checked into it and yep. Can do. I bought Jim Gaffigan's Dad is Fat. I'll start it tomorrow. Should be fun.
Yesterday's conference call was moved to today. And sometime - this could wait until tomorrow - I need to go to Safeway. Also a Costco trip is going to need to be in the near future. But, right now, I need some breakfast. Real breakfast. With eggs.

The Grand Central Bakery is a few blocks down the street. It's been there since the beginning of time. They have great stuff and so the lines are long whenever I think of going there. Their bread is really good but pricey. About once a week they tweet 'mention this tweet and get a free xxx'. It's always a cookie (they do have good cookies) or a danish. Today it was a loaf of bread! I'll pop in for a cookie if I'm going to be going that way. But a whole loaf of bread? I'll get off my ass for that.
As soon as I got off my conference call, I did. The conference call was scheduled for noon via Hangouts. Gmail, Google Plus and Hangouts all went down about 11:15 and came back up about 11:57. My brother was late initiating the call and had some convoluted excuse - I let him get to the end and then told him that it had all been down and his exposed butt had been covered anyway!
Before the conference call, I killed most of the morning getting the audible book onto the iPod shuffle. iTunes just works my last nerve. It took about 10 times longer than it should have but I finally got it done and I think I can replicate the success next time, if I like the book listening.
The bed caper now has the possibility of turning out better than if there had not been any issues. Today, the manager offered me a free pillow or a free ($130) mattress cover so I'll have one to use when I wash the other. Very nice. And... I had wanted tan or brown upholstery and Matt had discouraged that saying it would take too long. The store manager said that brown would take a while but tan would not add any days to the delivery.
And... best of all... I have a confirmed (by Matt and by the store manager) delivery date of 8:30 February 10 and I have a confirmation on the elevator reservation. Yes, it's all done. Nothing more to do but wait until the 10th. End. Of. Drama. At least til the 10th.
Crap dela crap. I just had to change an appointment and changed it to a time when I had something else! I do nothing all day long day after day how in the fuck can I have 3 things that conflict?????
But, when I picked up my bread, I bought myself one of those delicious cookies. I'm saving it for after dinner.
