I have been hoping as always that things would go smoothly aned we woudl have awonderful Christmas, but seems this is not how it is going fo rus, or not yet at least.
Starts out I have a chest and sinus infection, so have to take antibiotics, and stay in bed, oh and laryngitis as well so dr said to zip the mouth and let that heal up.
Al and Britt both have a cold as well, not to the extent I have andhoping it will not get to that as well.
ANyhow I ordered this gift for Al back in November, we were watching the tracking system for it, and it took 2 days to get from Il to BC, but that is when the problem started, it has gone from BC back to IL then back to BC, to the island, to the mainland, to the island to the mainland again and aain and again and then to KY for some odd reason and backto BC and back to the island. We have called UPS many times and each time they said oh its on its way... and then they said shoud be a day or so, well then we findout thqat the courier goes by our town but wont stop in here so they sent it back to the mainland. Now we call again and they said oh ok then we will send back up and get it in the mail the remainder for you... so that is what eventually happened. It arived in the mail today, so I was so excited but that was short lived, as when I opened it up I found it was broken. GGRRR so I called the company and they are sending a new one out tomorrow. the box had 2 rather nasty holes in it so the couriers were not that gentle this time.
Anyhow that was bad but Al got me for Christmas an antique German bisque figurine, it was from the late 1800's's, it arrived yesterday in the mail, and again when we opened it up it was in several pieces, not repairable.
We went to go and email the seller and started the PC only to find that the fan in our PC packed it in and our computer is down and out!
Then we were talking to our dsil to check if the gift we ordered for him had arrived yet, he said no so we called the courier as it was suppose to be delivered over a week ago, they now promised us for tomorrow, but reason they did not get it to them is they didnt have the directions... so why not ask or google or something, they had the adddress just didnt know where that was. so tomorrow fingers are crossed that they will get it right this time.
Can ya tell I am in a crappy way these days... don't think it helped when I walk into the doctors office and everyone says to me... oh you look and sound like crap, and imagine how I would have looked if I didnt put on makeup and do my hair before going.
Good news is I have a week and a day til Christmas to change that all around and just get better.
Now I feel better had to get that out of my system.

{{{{Lori}}}} so sorry to read about all this incredibly bad luck. Please just take care of yourself and get over this illness, all else can wait. It's a real shame about all the breakage and delivery foul-ups.
Just remember the reason for the season. P&PTS for a speedy recovery!
It will be a wonderful Christmas Lor because you will be surrounded by family!
