"can you please buzz me in so i can bring the packages up?"
and i said "sure!"

Tuesday: Phone rings, guy says "FedEx." The doorbell goes to the phone. I tell him my apartment number and press the code to buzz him up. I wait. I call out "Hello?" Nada. FedEx's phone menu goes around and round. Website the same.

Two days lying on a heating pad, gobbling Vikes. Good idea, cam. Good times.

You ok otherwise?

you are totally psychic, because that is exactly what happened with UPS. had to call five different people at ups before i could finally place a complaint. try saying 'agent' at the phone system repeatedly, it helps.
also because when i first read this comment this morning i was leaning back on a heating pad (i have percs instead of vikes but that's just a minor difference). have you seen the massaging ones? they're absolutely fantastic.)
otherwise things are decent. i have a chai milk chocolate bar in my purse that i'd forgotten about (bought it as a reward for getting through the vocational rehab seminar).
<3!!

I have one of those massagers! It's in the Reading Chair, and happy I got it before being reduced to this poverty-level SSDI income.

The best I guess we can do with nonsense like delivery guys is make sure we have enough chocolate. You're one wise lady.

I'm glad things is generally OK. (())

Dang it, I wrote you a nice reply yesterday but LJ wouldn't, um, work.

I think I would feel even stranger than usual saying "agent" into a telephone many times. Not if I clean and freshen the aluminum foil on the windows first, though.

I got this massage thingy years ago that sits in a chair, my Reading Chair, and sends heat and hard rolfing waves all up and down yer spine. They have em at walgreen's. It's amazing. I would send you one if I could.

Finding unexpected chocolate is like the $2 in the jeans heading for laundry. Good on ya.

Happy Emmy day to you, and I'm glad to hear you're doing well.

Yay you!

Looking forward to learning more about your wee video camera. Please do share the brand, etc., and your impressions. We're wanting to get Rach a little inexpensive one for Christmas, maybe.

it's the 'flip' ultra hd. comes in lots of colors and is very intuitive to use so far. charges off a standard usb port but you can get a wall charger also, as well as a tripod. the camera itself is being sold on amazon for under $200 right now and the accessories are all around $20-30.
