The Day from 7734

What a Day! Definately not one I would like to revisit, that is for Sure! I don't even know where to begin!

I started the day with a new pair of shoes. My comfy sandles fell apart (literally) yesterday, so I had to fall back on the shoes I bought yesterday to wear at parties--so I would look a bit better. Too bad they are a bit tight!

It was a good thing my boss wasn't there, because I certainly didn't feel like working! But I plowed through the work day with less than enthusiasim.

My husband didn't go into work today--he was able to take a day off--but he had lots of honey-dos to keep himself busy. We did meet for lunch and our favorite resturaunt. It was a huge disappointment. It cost us MORE for lunch than it ever does for dinner! Plus the service was not nearly as good as we are used to getting there.

The biggest frustration of the day was that I had made a huge (for me) order of product from one of my suppliers, a week ago last Sunday night. The supplier sent me an email that they were at a conference and that the items would be shipped on the 27th. That was fine, because I need the stuff for a large event tomorrow. So, last Friday (June 30th) I got an email stating that the items were being shipped that day. I was pretty upset, because that is 3-4 days later than I was told the order would be sent out to me. So, I called...yes, for an extra $8 I could send the items USPS Express instead of the $20 I was already spending to get it out Priority. Yes, I paid WAY too much for the shipping to get it here by today. Guess what. Not here! Yep, no sign of it. So, what did I do? I shot off a nasty note and faxed it over--then followed it up with an equally nasty email. Made me feel a bit better. DH said that the supplier may never ship to me again. He may be right, but I really feel betrayed that I was told one thing, then the supplier did something else.

But my day didn't stop there. I went to Kaiser to pick up my perscriptions--stood in line for 10 minutes with another person...there were people behind the counter--but no one was helping anyone. When someone finally discovered that the line of two had grown to a line of ten, they started helping people. One of my 2 perscriptions was not renewed. Then, once I had paid for mine, it occurred to me that dh had turned some in for himself...so I had to pay again for him.

Decided to stop at McDonald's to get their 42oz Diet Coke for 99 cents. Drove right in! Once I pulled away and took a sip, I discovered that they had given me straight Coke. Blegh!! So I had to drive back through to get the Diet--and suddenly there was a line! I got the Diet..and came home! Whew! Glad to be here!

It took us all night to get ready for tomorrow. Most everything is packed in the car. I need to pack the car better tomorrow before we leave. Now it is way time for bed! The day is over!! Hurray!
