Yeah, because that extra day makes such a difference when Saturday is around the corner.  Tell Mark the "silly boy" is reminding him that Thanksgiving is less than a week away. Pretty sure you get at least four days off from school, if not the whole week. (It's been too long for me, so I can't exactly remember the vacation schedule.) 

Hey, Page

I guess I got a little carried away.  And by the way... Ouch!

I managed to get myself locked out of my Amazon account this morning   So I had to call customer service to get my password reset.  OMG  I spent about ten minutes spelling my email address and the guy got it wrong every. single. time.   I'm a patient person, but OMG.  I asked if there was another way he could look up my account.  By name or address or something.  Nope. Only if I had an order number.  Well I'm not at home, so don't have any paperwork from recent orders with me.  He mentioned email, so I was able to find an order number in my deleted emails.  So he tells me the email address I'm providing doesn't match the email on the account.  And he wouldn't tell me what email was on the account.    So I tell him if there's something different than what I've been telling him then my account has been hacked because I've had the account since 2008 and have never changed my email  on it.  I tell him my email address one more time--the same one I've been spelling for ten minutes--and he tells me 'yes, that's the one on the account, but it's different from what you were spelling."  *headdesk*  *deep breath*  So we finally manage to get the password reset email sent and now I can spend a crap ton of money on Amazon again.  But OMG  just OMG  how many times can you spell the same email?  And it's not that unusual an email address   

Hey, Sis.   So.... other than that... you good?

Hi, Page!!! 

 

Val... My sympathies.  I'm sorry for asking this, but why didn't you reset the password online? 

I tried, but I didn't know the answer to the security question   They wanted to know the expiration date of a credit card I haven't had in years.  So I was locked out of my account after too many wrong answers and was told I needed to call and have them reset the password.  I deleted all my old cards so it doesn't happen again.

  My drive in wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  We got several inches of snow overnight.  It snowed throughout the day and the drive home was yukky near work, but got better closer to home.  I took my car in to get the brakes checked out and they couldn't find anything wrong with them, so that's good news.  Even better news is that my mechanic didn't charge me

In my twenties I worked as an inspector in a poultry processing plant. One department had a lot of young hispanic women working the line. They were happily chatting away one day when I shook my head and laughed. They stopped and looked shocked. One of them asked if I understood them. I said enough. Which was true. I knew enough to know they were talking about me. The Amish women that work in some of the local touristy shops are just as bad. They rattled along gossiping about customers in PA Dutch and most folks have no idea. Most think it's quaint but sometimes it's rude.

[Kitt]

When hubby corrected an amish woman, that I was indeed married they were so shocked. Pa Dutch is rooted in German, which my hubby grew up with.

So I guess the neighbor's drug addicted grandson thought everyone was out of the house tonight and tried to break in. I caught him red handed and he ran but the police caught him.

Only one heartbeat. She had her first ultrasound, and they heard it... normally you can't this early... or at least, they didn't expect to hear it so soon. I have a picture of the ultrasound. Just a little dot, but hey, that's my new grandchild.

G'day y'all. Since she had it first I've decided to blame Val for my case of ebola. Now she decides to share ...

Some Danes learn the hard way, that speaking Danish when abroad isn't always safe and secret.  (not me, thankfully)

This costochondritis is not fun.   The pain is worse instead of better.  I think I'll be calling the doctor again on Tuesday, because I can't imagine it will be better by then.  I don't think I'll be doing much today.  Probably editing and writing.

I hope resting and taking care of yourself are on list as well. 

 

Costochondritis.  Even pronouncing it is no fun.
