“I never watch, but I always learn.” 

That was what someone told me last night in Dreamland. 

We’ve made an average of 11 orders a month on Amazon in the last 6 months, much of it being vitamins, coffee, and necessary household items. Either way, you would think we’d get better service for all our orders, but nope. Lately, they’re failing to deliver things on time and yesterday’s bullshit excuse to deliver my aroma oil diffuser, oils and coffee was that they “attempted to deliver it but was unable to.” What they really meant was, “We didn’t want to go out in the pouring rain.” 

I’m sure they pulled “failed delivery attempt” on several people so they didn’t have to make as many stops. It was delivered today, though, and we’ve been given an extra month of AP for free. I love it, too! The color-changing lights are awesome and it’s very easy to use. The frosted cover helps soften the light so it’s soothing instead of harsh and irritating. Should run for about 3 hours, then turn itself off when it’s out of water. I’ve got patchouli going now. Walmart’s version of that fragrance smells a bit weird, but it’s still nice. Ylang-ylang is up next! 

We made another order last night. Tom’s getting a new lunch bag for work that’ll allow him to take cold foods so he has more variety for lunch and breaks. 

I treated myself to Linda’s Lollies, 24 different flavored lollipops that are only 90 calories and should last a long time. This way I can be eating without really eating and hopefully go a little longer before I actually do eat. Just not longer than 3-4 hours or else I may get dizzy. Root beer float is the only flavor I won’t want, so Tom can have that one. 

I also got a Texan bull and a seal on the way. 

I grabbed a mocha latte lollipop at Michael’s yesterday, but it tasted like very weak chocolate. I also got a mini journal, a bracelet with clear stones that are super shiny, a mini coloring book that’d be great for traveling, and a couple more animal figures. A decked-out fairy horse, as they call it, and a Jack Russell terrier. Lastly, I got some floral tissue paper that isn’t exactly for noses. The way it was packaged made me think it was, but it’s a bit thick and stiff for that so I’m using them as drink coasters. 

I wish every day could be like yesterday. I felt great both physically and mentally and got out and did some fun shopping, even if they were just little things. I don’t need big things to keep me happy. Sometimes it really is those little things that make life fun. Today I feel just fine too, and have been very productive. Got a lot of cleaning done. Tom and I are going to go out walking around the park when he gets home in about an hour. 

Today’s weather is a stark contrast to yesterday, and of course they’re right back to their landscaping and other projects around here. Those two white pickups are still going to the corner house working on the water damage (I think) and I wonder how many more weeks they’ll be at it. At least they’re not sawing and working outside like they were. They’re working indoors now, so all I hear is some door slamming. One of them loves to park alongside our carport. 

I’m surprised the new people haven’t replaced the plants they had removed. The lady there was cleaning out the garage on Saturday and I have yet to see a man in the picture. Hopefully, that means the garage won’t be used at my expense. 

Another thing that keeps life interesting is those little wins. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before I win big again, but those little wins like the one-year pass to Pandora One that I won always put a smile on my face. I guess this way it’s ad-free and hopefully, I’ll get unlimited song skipping, too.
