Computer returning

The fit I threw with the Dell customer care manager on Wednesday morning must have done some good because yesterday afternoon I got an email that my computer was repaired and being shipped back overnight. Tracking shows it will be here sometime today (but it's FedEx, so who knows). But, honestly, I have my doubts if it even got fixed. Or if it was the processor that got replaced, if it's even the same one it's supposed to be. If it's not fixed, it certainly won't be going back there. I'll find some place in the city to work on it.

We still have not heard back from the propane guy to install our garage heater. DH had said he was going to message him yesterday, but of course he didn't. I don't know why he can't follow up with people when they aren't doing what they said they would do. How hard is it to just send a text asking the guy for an update? He acts like the world is going to end if he has to "bother" someone about something. But, then I have to hear him constantly complaining about the situation. It's a freaking business transaction, it's not like he's asking a friend to do a favor or something for him! It's very annoying.

My boss kept me hopping all day yesterday, starting first thing yesterday morning, so I didn't get time to write up a blog post. Plus my sis was working and has questions off and on, so we hop on Teams a lot. I'm hoping for a quieter Friday. She's not working and hopefully my boss got what she needed from me for her project.

We need to order some new flags for our big flag pole out front. They are getting a little ratty. I was going to just order from the company we bought the pole and US flag from (the state flag was a gift from dd), but saw their price had gone up from $53 to $70. DH still had the box the flag came in, so we had the brand/part# and lots of online places sell it - for under $50, even Amazon, so that's where I'm getting the flags from now. 

I had a some ebooks reserved from the library to borrow and finally 2 of them are ready to borrow, so it will be nice to have something to read again. I haven't read anything since before we went on the cruise. I seem to flip flop between finding a show to watch a bunch of seasons and reading. Now I can take a break from watching shows and get back to reading for a bit.

DH is feeling pretty down and grumpy with his ongoing stomach/pancreas issue. I'm sure it is getting very old feeling nauseous all the time. I sure hope the MRI next month will show something and hoping he can get some relief if they can figure out what is going on.  Just wish he didn't have to wait this long for the MRI appointment.

  1. I hope the computer problem is solved. I understand how your DH feels - it so awkward to send the text, but like you said it is a business transaction. I hope your sister is feeling better since her accident! As for DH's stomach pain/issues - I wonder if there is any other way to follow up on the problem, does he have a gallbladder? Sometimes the gallstones really affect eating/drinking. Also, does the MRI place have a waitlist? Over here, sometimes if you let them know you are available for cancellations, you can get in a bit earlier!

    1. He had his gallbladder out 3 years ago, with his first round of pancreatitis. The MRI is done at the hospital, but I should call and see if they have a waitlist for cancellations. Sis is feeling some effects, said she was getting headaches but she's seeing her chiropractor.
