susandennis | All done

The shopping is done. The house is clean. And, unless something unplanned happens, I will not need to leave these rooms again until January 3.

Safeway did not have some of the stuff on my list but the stuff they didn't have was minor and really not needed. I did Trader Joes and the only thing I could not find was their Christmas toffee chocolate nut things. But, I cudda asked and didn't. I figured it was the universe's way of telling me I Don't Need It. I stopped at a T-Mobile store. They have an elcheapo pay as you go plan that they do not advertise. The only place you can get the sim is at their store. And they don't even know they have it. "I want a paygo sim." "We don't have those." "Yes, you do, in the back. I called last week." Coming back from the back "ok, that will be $10."

Whatever.

Then home. The house cleaner sprayed some kind of air freshner and she had just left and my lungs did not love it. Huge coughing fit but better now.

I got my yarn kit from Lebanon!

Next up is lunch. Then I need to put away the rest of the grocieries. And set up the new sim card in my backup phone. And call the credit union to see what in the heck they have frozen my online access.

And then enjoy the rest of my day! In my clean house with no where I have to go.

Please tell me about the T-Mobile PAYG SIM deal ... at the moment we have a Ting SIM for travel to the USA but since they've recently been taken over by Dish it's all going to change soon and I need options :-)

I'm planning on one more shopping trip to Costco and the supermarket next week, then a stupid early trip a couple of days before Christmas for fresh vegetables, then I'm joining you in not going to the shops until January. We have the luxury of living in the middle of nowhere so we can at least walk around outside a bit!

Oh, didn't know about the Ting/Dish thing. Ugh.

So here's the single page about this deal (at least that I could find). It's an old T-mobile plan that they farmed out to Ultramobile last Summer.

I just popped the sim in and did the activation thing (went with a net new number just to keep it simple) and it all went fine. I added $5 to my account to make sure I'm covered. Here's what the account dashboard looks like.
