Awoke from my nap to Mums saying, "I think your box is here. Yes, definitely a box!" and taking the dog out for walkies. I trudge downstairs because my nap was only an hour and I still had another hour allotted, dangit. Box is from BC and it's my cake plate/server from Barbie that was on backorder for who knows how long. Meh. Not opening yet because the smell will be awful til it airs out and also, not making cake.

Haul empty boxes from Mumsy's room down to the recycle bins which are, for the first time since we've moved in, full. Weird. Get mail. It's nothing of interest, really. Too hot outside for nearly Halloween.

Come home. Am decidedly not in the Halloween spirit. Cannot force it, cannot sweet talk it, cannot coax it into being. Legitimately want to cry because I love Halloween and it doesn't seem to love me back this year. :(

Still, rally when Mums looks for recipe for brown sugar cookies. Naturally I can't find the one I made last year that was delicious.

Mums goes to pick up the boy. Doorbell rings. Is my B&BW box! Yay! Marvel at the "FRAGILE" warning as it looks like someone kicked it down the street to my door. Open. Nothing broken. Yay! Sniff bottles.

Instant headache.


Also, my computer keeps getting kicked off the internet connection (or disconnecting, I'm really not sure which, though the router logs seem to imply that it's telling my computer to fuck off) every two hours. I have no idea why or how to fix it.

Yeah, my B&BW box looked like the UPS dude just dropped it to the ground when nobody answered the door. Amazingly, nothing was broken (tho the travel size body wash bottle had opened and leaked a bit - the travel size bottles were the only ones not taped shut for some reason).

I'm sorry your day seemed to go from bad to worse :( That sucks!! Maybe if you go back to sleep and try again?
