My day didn't go too well yesterday. Actually, it was night that didn't go too well; I slept all day, so I didn't get up until after dark.

Anyway, I cut my finger making a salad. Minor thing, but it stings when I was my hands. I try to do something healthy, and it bites back! LOL!

The thing that really pissed me off is, the mailman delivered a package, and never rang the doorbell or knocked. I'd been awake when the mail came yesterday morning, so I hadn't slept through it. I was in my nightgown, and hadn't slept in about 30 hours--I'd been doing a big download on my computer, and my computer was on my bed, so I made sure I'd gotten all the files I wanted before stopping it (I don't know how to resume with the program; it doesn't seem to work, and I didn't want to have to start all those hours over again)--so I decided to wait to get the mail. Anyway, I found the package when I opened the door. It was dark, so I couldn't see it too well, but when I picked it up (with Ziploc bags on my hands; I put those on when I go to get the mail, because I have OCD and the mailbox is dirty [both literally and in OCD terms]), the cardboard squooshed in, and I realized it was very, very wet. My mom had called me shortly after I'd awakened, and told me it had poured rain, but I'd slept through the rain. When I picked up the package, I remembered her telling me that, and water poured out of it!!!!!!



So, I brought the package inside and opened it, and the books were wrapped in unsealed plastic--which happens often when I get books from Amazon (otherwise, they're great)! There was a big split in the plastic, allowing the rain water to get to the books!!! I was really eager to get these books, and now I have to exchange them or whatever. I emailed Amazon, and I'm awaiting their response.
