July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Prompt: Begin your entry with "The only option I have left is _________." APONDIAThis is not a prompt I should be answering today. I try to be mild mannered about most problems, not today. I put in a large order from Chewy.com for different kinds of feed for my pet crew. It has been 6 days since the order and the merchandise is not here yet. They broke the order into two packages and now FedEx will not acknowledge one of the tracking numbers. Everything is supposed to arrive today. I have received emails two days that the package, one or the other would arrive on that day. So far, no pet food arrived. If the packages do not arrive today, I will have to cancel the order, get in the car and find a place to buy the food. The parrot pellets I use are not available anywhere near me. I have been buying them through the mail for years. My patience is just being tried. A game to somebody not to me. The ignorant thing is; any day since last Wednesday would have been better to bring those packages in here, than today. Yes, we had snowstorms, but roads were decent. Today, we are having ice conditions because it rained lightly on the snow this morning and froze. I have ski poles with sharp ends that drive into the ice and used them to travel the short way to the bird feeder when I filled it. the driveway is a slippery mess. I salted the porch and steps to front and back doors, when I went out. It is actually quite warm out. Lots of melting going on outside. I just have to wait to see if they actually deliver my packages today. Keep Warm |
