Some days just don't go right. For instance, here was yesterday.- We failed to pay the rent for the old apartment while we were there cleaning. Now the check has to be mailed.
- Bought a disgusting amount of stuff at IKEA, but failed to hand the cashier a coupon. IKEA won't honor the $25 off after the fact.
- Will be driving all the way out to Schaumburg to return the optional purchases that were bought today. They will get $75 in merchandise back. I'll think thrice before shopping there again: it's not worth the drive, the crowd, not finding what you want in stock, and the poor customer service.
- We drove to Glencoe to pick up a package for San. He found out that even though he had called ahead, his package wasn't there. Our post office had borrowed some trucks from Glencoe Post Office, and the driver left a delivery slip with the wrong post office on it.
- My doctor's office was supposed to call in a refill on Friday. I ran out this morning and went to pick it up, but the pharmacy has no record of it. The doc's office is closed for the weekend. I'm out of town on Monday, until Tuesday morning. I NEED this medication to function properly. And there seems to be nothing I can do about it for a few days.
And bonuses for the week:- A Christmas present that we bought through a third-party vendor on Amazon refused the return of the merchandise that was the wrong size, because we missed the "extended" return period, which ended on January 8th. They refuse a refund, and they also refuse to give us store credit. They indicated that even though they would usually issue the store credit, they wouldn't do it because we made the purchase through Amazon.
- I had a very uncomfortable biopsy on Thursday evening. I'm still feeling the effects.
- This morning I realized that I failed to mail in a cat food rebate that I've had since November. It had to be postmarked today, which means that it had to be mailed yesterday.
