susandennisI sold the second DS Lite on Amazon. But, of course, since it's me selling stuff, there's a problem. There are two payments in my account but Amazon only sent me notice of one. It appears as if one is set for refund BUT before I send off the goods, I want confirmation from Amazon or the buyer that that the payment is solid and they still want the thing. So far. Nothing.
Fortunately, I have 2 business days to mail it out which means I can wait until Monday. So I probably will. At a minimum I will wait until this afternoon when I have to go out anyway, back to the drug store to pick up the stuff for my face which they won't have until after 2 p.m. Yes, folks. You now know someone who has dandruff of the face. Isn't that special?
I reverse-googled (ya know, like reverse engineering?) from my prescriptions to find the name that the man doctor gave me for it: Seborrheic Dermatitis. And I found a nifty article complete with disgusting pictures. It kind of skips over the How to Prevent it bit. And the root cause (which, of course, I honestly believe is the combo of a dry wit and a sharp brain).
I'm having a hard time with my Hamilton Beach Brew Station. It makes up to 12 cups of coffee. 12 and 10? I got nailed. Any number of cups under 10 and I can't get the right recipe. Although I think I'm getting close. I just tossed out the first try of the morning and am sipping on the second which is much better. I don't like coffee that can walk across the room but I do like to be able to taste the flavor. I drink my coffee black so I can't depend on sweetener or milk for taste. Trial and Error.
I discovered Sudoku way back when and after giving it a shot or two decided that I wasn't at all interested. Not at all. Thank you. Yes, I know it is wildly popular with smart and witty people like me but so is co-habitation and eating of vegetables and I'm not big on those things either. Anyway, I have been living a nice Sudoku free life for a long time now. Until I got this fucking DS Lite. The only 'game' I got was Brain Age and once you do the daily exercises the only thing left is Sudoku. So I did a couple and then a couple more. And then I figured out how to do them and finally saw the stupid patterns and now... of course... I'm hooked. I could still get over it, tho. I could.
My rental games might be here today, or tomorrow. Hopefully. Because by Tuesday (next time the mail comes) I could be a gonner.
Time to get to work, I guess.
