Tough morning so far

susandennisI did hear back from the service manager at the Mercedes place. The good news is that my guy is still there, although does not work on Fridays, and has a changed email address. However, they can no longer get the part my car needs. This does not portend well for my Smart Car's future. It didn't take long for Mercedes to disown the Smart Car kid after they adopted it. Bleg. Oh well. I found the part in Germany on Ebay and ordered it. At least they still love the Smart Car in other countries.
The guys came from the appliance place about 11. Their attitude from the get go was way better than yesterday's. Way better. I think they didn't have the appliance chops of yesterday's team but I'll take a good attitude over most anything. They actually got it fixed fairly quickly. Then they couldn't get it back in the closet and plugged in and then they finally got it done and pulled out the slider board and the door wouldn't stay open again. It was two hours of that over and over again. But, finally, they got it. YEAH! I sent the store a thank you note. Next time (pleasegod, let's NOT have a next time), I'm going to buy a slider board and just have them leave it there.
In the middle of all the washer shenanigans, my CPA called. I can no longer deduct the fees I pay him or my financial adviser. In fact, I have so few deductions now that the new tax code makes it a better deal for me not to do deductions at all. I get to pay $1,000 a year more this year in federal tax due to the new tax law. I get to pay $4,000 a year more in federal tax next year because of the required IRA dispersal at age 70 and a half. The federal government wanting to remind me 'you can't take it with you'.
Ichiro who, in baseball terms, is older than dirt now, just hit in two runs in the Mariner game. I love Ichiro.
The UPS delivery from Amazon that I could not account for, turns out to be a new tiny room! It's the one the company sent me to make up for the torn wallpaper. A companion for the one I just finished. Now I have three new ones to pick from. Which to do next????
I just had a sandwich made with the rest of the $5 chicken I got at Costco. Why in the world I don't get one of those every single time I go there is a mystery. It is truly the best deal in town. Two dinners, two lunches and I have a baggie of the bits in the freezer for my next chicken pot pie.
Check out the washing machine dudes... Yep that guy is literally surfing my dryer up there...
