Idalia cometh
Aug. 30th, 2023 10:08 amToday is storm day. Ooh. Ahh. Took my shower when I got home from work (and the store) and my laundry is now going round in the dryer. I have no intention of going into work tonight but I do wish someone ~*official*~ would make that call instead of me hearing from one the less reliable people at work that it's being called off for tonight. I can't imagine they won't go with closing since MAYBE one of the overnight people lives on the island, but see also: ISLAND. Bridges, my dudes, and King Tide (Blue Moon King Tide, even!) on top of storm surge! Fuck that noise!
Oh, good. Work did send a mass text saying we're closed tonight. Fuck yeah.
Now to figure out what I'm gonna do with my day off other than quietly pray for the trees to be nice.
Lesse, what else. Um, to update my Comcast fuckery, apparently they are sending me yet another router? Why. WHY. WHY?! And it's supposed to arrive this afternoon. UPS, you don't need to go out in the storm to deliver this shit and I feel so bad that they are.
What else. Oh! I called in yesterday to order Claudie's new coat and her new dress because I didn't really feel like making a big order, and I wanted to see if I could basically get it free because I had $75 in rewards and those two together are $74. I called the ~Berry~ line because I'm special but I got someone who was even more socially awkward than I am so it was kind of a meh experience overall. Still, free so I'll take it. I figured I should do so before the storm just in case since the rewards expire tomorrow.
Oh! Requested Last Vampire 3 via PBS for the annual readalong with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
luxken27, so we'll see how that shakes out. And right after that was accepted into the system, the other Charmed companion book I had on my wishlist for eons pinged. Soooooo... I used my other free credit for that and the person accepted and mailed all within an hour or two. Mwerp. Normally impressive but with the storm, mwerp.
Won 2 books via LT, which reminded me I need to read the last book I won. So far I'm enjoying it more than I dared to hope, given that it was an ebook and I have not had the best luck with those on LT.
So tired now. Might knock back something for the impending headache (I can feel it lurking) and then snooze for a bit.
