I am at a total loss for a topic this week. Probably because I don't go anywhere, I don't do anything noteworthy. I cleaned out my mini fridge, with a cleaner I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to use on food surfaces but meh, everything is going to kill us. 

I can't believe I forgot to upload this week's blog, it completely slipped my mind. I usually write these in the beginning of the previous week and upload the following Monday but here it is Thursday, I have yet to write this as you can read and I remembered yesterday that I never uploaded. I tried last night but our WIFI here in the middle of nowhere wasn't cooperating. I have done zero writing or crafting this week. The closest I came to crafts was going through some crochet supplies, boxing them up, and getting them ready to ship to an old friend in IN that said he'd like to learn how to crochet. If I can do it, anyone can. I need to finish my nephew's project so I can move on to something else. I think I'm going to play with paints next. I thought having a blog would hold me more accountable but I honestly don't think anyone reads these, I get no feedback.

My ex hub‘s little, giant, brother just had his first child. He could not have done it without the help of his beautiful girlfriend. I got the little brother in the divorce, I always wanted one and he likes me best anyway! So I was ordering a bunch of baby gifts as Aunties do, then of course I gotta get something for the new Mommy, it can't be all about the baby. I searched “care package for new mothers” and I saw a postpartum care kit. I thought about getting it for her then the self conversation began. “you live half a country away, you've never met this woman, will she think it's weird you sent her a kit with weiner warmer cooling pads and a gown with a booby up? If I had a tiny human trying to rip its way out my baby chute, I'd appreciate the woman who eased the pain of the new brush fire in my britches. Needless to say, I went a different route. Why do all the new Mommy gift boxes have baby stuff in it? I'm buying a gift for Mommy, I bought stuff for the baby already, does no one think of the poor mother? 

This blog is going to be all over the place, thanks to another sleepless night. I know, you can't tell the difference. I took my medicine, some nights it works too well, not at all, or just right. I take three different medications to help me sleep. I used to take more but all I did was sleep, one was a medication they give patients in nursing homes to keep them sedated, I'm glad I'm no longer on that one. I take way too many medications as it stands. I am on twelve different meds, some do double duty, one is for neuropathy and sleep, another ADHD and weight-loss, another depression and sleep, diabetes and weight-loss etc

I'm running out of steam and I've barely written anything. Not having a car in the middle of nowhere hits different than in the city. In the city you can have anything delivered, the only thing that delivers out here is Walmart and they just started that here. Speaking of Walmart, their app does this thing every month when I order, usually a couple times. It will cancel my order due to “location.“ The only change I make is which payment I'm using, billing and delivery addresses are the same. I usually talk to customer service, they tell me it's because “it's unauthorized, I'll send it up to be fixed, here's $10 - $15 off your next order.“ I wait awhile and try again, it takes anywhere from minutes to days. I went to place an order yesterday, but it got cancelled. I am in no mood. Now, what you need to know about Annie, I used to work customer service. No matter how angry I am, I do not take it out on the representatives online or in person, they're just doing their jobs. I chat with a rep, tell him it's not personal, he agrees and then starts going on about how the app is terrible. Don't use it anymore, use a different app, then starts naming options and tells me he's quitting anyway. At first I thought he was fucking with me but the more he talked, I realized he was being real. If he wasn't planning on quitting I'm sure he wasn't employed long after they monitored his chat! I have NEVER bad-mouthed an employer to a customer and not necessarily because they didn't deserve it but because it's unprofessional. I never really bad-mouthed exes much, some sure but for the most part I preferred to just walk away amiably if I can. I still got my $15 off and supposedly my account is fixed so as not to fire that error again, we'll see, so far so good! It's been a day but I did a few orders. 

I know, hard to tear yourself away from this riveting content but it's that time again when I've run out of things to say. I guess I need to start breaking out some stories of past antics and Tom Foolery. Until next time…
