Mom's Car Is Back
I thought about going to see Oppenheimer on Saturday night, but then I thought, "I can't go because I talk to Mom on Saturday night." Some habits take a long time to break.
I spent a ridiculous amount of time on the phone with Kroger because my delivery address and billing address are different. Yeah, I get that they're trying to avoid fraud, but sigh.
I attended an interesting webinar about machine learning and libraries. Some people from Amazon gave it, and they were trying to sell their services, but the projects were interesting. Oxford used their software to orient scans of coins and extract data from on the coins. And the software is capable of doing more sophisticated operations.
Well, this sucks. I called to get the shuttle to the car dealer, and they aren't answering. I left a message but I'm not hopeful that they will call back. I called again and finally got someone live who said that they'd get the shuttle guy to come out. 20 minutes later, a guy called and asked if I was ready for the shuttle. I said, "Yes! I'm already outside." He came another 10-15 minutes later. Getting the car itself was a lot quicker. The guy read the total, which was substantial, and then he said, "Oh, you have a card. I was hoping that you'd pay cash (so that I could see it)." I told him that I didn't carry that amount of cash, but I told him about my aunt's stashes of cash around her house, which was more than that. The car is running a lot better.
And now I'm back. I'd like to mail my packages, but because I was already gone, I don't feel like I can duck out again. I'll mail them tomorrow. Luckily, the post office is open until 5 PM tomorrow.
brittdreams mentioned Quince for clothes. They have a lot of nice clothes for reasonable prices. They have some $50 cashmere sweaters that I'm eyeing. And there's a really cute sherpa jacket that I'm coveting. No petite sizes though, so I can't get any maxi dresses or skirts. They had a cashmere midi skirt that you can pair with a sweater. That would be fab to wear to the Unitarian church when I'm back in Urbana, along with my Ann Taylor wool coat.
Took a nap and slept through until 1:30 AM.
