When I went to Friday night at 11 PM, the prediction had the snow entering the Miami Valley by 3 AM. It is going on 6 AM and still no snow or precipitation has arrived. From what my radar indicates, we shall be mostly bypassed by the bulk of the heavier snow.

I set my Walmart grocery delivery for 8 PM – 9 PM, Friday evening. At 8:45 PM, I received a text that the delivery was delayed by 2 hours. Before settling into bed, I checked the front porch and no groceries had been delivered. When I awoke, there was a text at 1:40 AM saying there were substitutions. When I checked the system, they were planning to deliver my order by 11 AM when I will be away from home. I rescheduled it for later tonight between 9 PM and 10 PM.

I am quickly tiring of this poor service which seems to be running rampant in all areas where services are offered.

I finished listening to Ron Chernow’s biography of Alexander Hamilton which immediately followed Chernow’s biography on George Washington. The books were exciting, compelling, and offered terrific story-telling that captivated me. I have read a good deal on our country’s birth, but not so much between the 1790s and 1812. I cannot believe how much we struggled to gain our footing in those early years of the republic, and how shaky we were for quite some time. I found this fascinating and awe-inspiring.

I woke at 4:30 AM to crawl from beneath a pile of dogs for a bathroom break and could not find the button to return to sleep. My MS and gut have been dueling for my attention, the sinuses have joined in for a familiar trio.

It is time to move on with my day. Make it a great day!
