The Saga Continues

That would be the saga of the skull print onesie pajamas I’ve been trying to get my hands on since April.

After the first online order went awry, I reordered and had shipped to a different mall, as I mentally blamed the first store for failing to notify me the item had arrived and then losing it.

The second order indicated the item would arrive in 12 days ... call customer service if not notified by then.

I waited 15 days before calling customer service, who indicated the item had arrived almost nine days earlier.

After escaping today’s power outage by spending time running errands, including having a manicure/pedicure, I went to the mall.

Good news is they did have a package for me.

The clerk asked if she could open the package to verify the purchase.

I generally say, “No. Don’t bother” but this time I fortunately said, “Sure. Go ahead”.

I say “fortunately” because expecting to see an item with this print pattern on it.

I instead found an ugly blousy looking thing with this print pattern on it, and a shipping label indicating it was to have been sent to a woman in Atlanta.

I’m done.

Not only with giving up trying to purchase the skull print pjs, but ordering online from this particular retailer.

Returning to the complex well after the all clear on the power outage, I was met by the neighbor in the downstairs corner unit, across the quad – the resident I refer to in the blog as Nosey because she keeps an eye on everyone’s activities and isn’t shy about running out to her patio to eavesdrop on conversations.

She obviously saw me leaving at 9:00, she always does and greeted my return with “We made it -- but that was a long boring four hours”.

What with meditating, needlepoint and three books I'm trying to make time to read, I could have easily done the four hours without being bored, but I had to escape because I can’t do anything in a hot upstairs unit, facing the sun, with no A/C.

At any rate, all seemed well when I returned and nothing in the fridge appeared to have thawed any.

Tomorrow is movie night. Casino Lady said she got her hands on Jumanji with Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black.

Sounds like a movie I'd like to see, but after that experience of trying to enjoy Black Panther with rude attendees chit chatting, I said never again and I meant it -- just like I'll never order again from that online retailer.
