February, while a short month, is also an expensive month. Car insurance and car tabs on 2 vehicles due. Ouch. DH also bought 2 of the drawer sliding mechanisms and that was almost $500. Those were supposed to be delivered yesterday, but got delayed due to adverse weather conditions. They should show up today, now. Plus, he ordered that dust collector shop vac thing. Then he finally "cashed in" on his Christmas gift LOL. I had given him a picture of some truck towing mirrors (not knowing which exact one's he'd want), for him to pick out and buy. Well, he finally did that, yesterday. It ended up being cheaper than I figured, because neither he, nor our SIL, could find OEM mirrors. He had to settle for after-market and they were way cheaper.
And here's something interesting - dh said he found them for $164 on Amazon and sent me the link. I open the link and it says $179. I say I thought you said they are $164? He sends me a screen shot from his computer and it says $164. On my computer I was logged into the Prime account I share w/DD. When I logged out of that and opened my regular Amazon it then showed the lower $164 price! What a rip-off! I will be watching for that from now on!
The big snow predicted Monday did not come. It even warmed up enough that it was a bit of rainy snow, what we did get. It looks like next week our highs are supposed to get up into the mid 40's.
I love how they are saying the SSA is ripe with ineligible payments going out, yet they can't (won't?) seem to figure out paying an actual legitimate payment. Government and bureaucracy at it's finest.
We found out why neighbor dogs have been barking so much lately - Mrs is out of town visiting their son and family. Oh well - better than them here, LOL. I think Mr mentioned to dh awhile back that since they were here over Thanksgiving, they won't be coming next summer (fingers crossed!)
I cannot get comfortable temperature wise in my office this morning. At 69 I'm getting too warm. I turn it down to 68 (I can do this from my phone) and then I'm cold. It's getting annoying.
My boss is out sick. One of the salespeople needs his expense report approved, so he can get his money (he sent me a Teams message), so I guess I'll get logged in to work a few minutes early and get that taken care of, first thing.
I think your weather is down here in KY. We're supposed to get four to six inches of snow tonight. This will effectively shut down most of the state, because we're just not equipped for such things. The next four days, the temperatures will be well below freezing and at times down into the single digits. This all on top of the fact that many roads are still closed due to flooding from heavy rain this weekend.
ReplyDeletethat sounds like a mess! Hopefully you don't have to try to anywhere the next few days.
DeleteThat Kentucky stuff is down here, too.
DeleteI bought a mixer from Amazon that was on sale for $329. I have enough points to buy it. However, I was charged $459 and my points weren't used. Furious here.
How are your Amazon points earned? In order for me to get that much I'd have to spend over $6500!
