susandennisAmazon delivered the replacement camera this morning at 8! I got it set up and operating and it's working fine. Nice. UPS will pick up the broken one on Monday. Easy peasy.
I finally gave up on the Thomas Perry audiobook. I was only 20% in but getting more annoyed with every minute. Audible used to have a very liberal return policy but over time they have chipped chipped chipped away at it and now it's a sliver of hope. If you chat or call and ask very nicely, they will give you your credit back. Probably not too many times. But, I got it back today. In the olden days Audible was a really miraculous service. Your credits never expired and you could return any purchase with a couple of clicks. But, now, they've changed.
But, they've also added a huge pile of books that cost nothing beyond the membership. And they still have very responsive customer service. And they lock in a lot of titles so the library cannot off them. All in all, it's a pricey luxury but worth it to me.
Meanwhile, the latest Michael Robotham came available at the library so I'm fine and cool in the book listening department.
Somehow I thought the free grocery delivery from Amazon Fresh was now $5. NBD but still, I can pick up which is free. Except I discovered, by accident, that 1. the delivery option is cheaper on some stuff (avocado $1.79 pickup or $1.19 delivery). 2. over $35 total order, still free delivery 3. a couple of weeks ago, there were no delivery slots available for a couple of days. Now there are plenty.
So, I just ordered up the stuff I need to be delivered this afternoon. Safer and easier. Done.
I think I'll do some laundry today and a few little chores around the house. Same same. Easy livin'!
Reading: When You Are Mine - Michael Robotham
Watched: FBI Most Wanted (CBS) (so much better without that loud drum beat for the entire show), Leverage (IMDB). I got about 15 minutes into the 2nd episode of Good Sam and decided I don't have enough years left to waste time with that show. Delete.
