The new fried chicken place across the street opened up this week and, amazingly, got its online system up immediately. So I ordered and paid for a pickup. It was lovely and safe and easy. I got a balanced meal of 3 fried chicken thighs, mac and cheese and waffle fries. The waffle fries were so so. I'm saving the mac and cheese for another meal. The chicken was good. Not Popeye's level good but the same price and a whole boatload more convenient. It will do. I have leftovers and I suspect that this chicken might be better cold. We'll see.

In researching this situation, I discovered that the other two take out places that share the same spot - a former sports bar - a pizza place and a burger place - both of whom have been there for a while now - finally have their online shit together so I can order and pay before I go. Much easier and safer proposition.

All three places have different and kind of weird hours but it sure helps now that I can look online. I may do pizza tomorrow. Maybe.

After lunch I made 10 breakfast burritos. 5 are in the freezer and 4 are in the fridge ready to nuke.

I think my groceries are going to last until Wednesday (next grocery day) just exactly on target. Go me! The CDC says because I'm old and at risk I should order delivery. But, I'm over that. Sorry CDC, love ya, but no thanks. Once every two weeks, I'm going to risk it.

But Amazon is sure making ordering fun. I think they are so staffed and ready that it's turning into perks for moi. I placed a large order of a variety of different Christmas presents all being sent to one place. They offered $6 in e-media for slow delivery. Heck yeah baby! And then they proceeded to deliver them all in two days. I placed another order for me about a week ago and again, opted for the $1 slow delivery option and got the order the next day.

Then yesterday I ordered some gloves. The cart said they would be delivered tomorrow. They were delivered this morning before 10 am. AND they sucked. So I went to the order and clicked Return and selected 'not like website description' and then 'Amazon credit' and then I got a screen that said sorry you weren't happy, keep the gloves and here's your refund.

Amazon at Christmas... I heart you.

Rats. I forgot to take a picture of my candy canes from the street (and check to see if I have any competition from the other condos in this building). Tomorrow, if pizza.

I always enjoyed Christmas at the business. The delivery really picked up.

Sounds like they will soon be delivering stuff before you order it. Nice.

I seriously doubt the CDC is willing to have some doctor come over to my apt bldg and bring all the packages that keep getting dumped in the wrong places to the correct apartments.
