The Daily: Amazon Delivering in the Middle of the Night?

 Monday, April 4, 2022

2:49 am: Good Morning! No, no it's not. I am awake because I thought I heard something at the front door of the house. The first thing that came to mind was the Amazon package that was scheduled to arrive by 8 p.m. last night, but never showed up. Did they just deliver it now? 

5:05 am: Good Morning part II! This time I have to get out of bed. Getting up and getting dressed to go to the gym. Going to see if I can figure out what that sound was earlier this morning. 

6:01 am: Finishing up running on the treadmill, I am ready to get out of the gym this morning. Some mornings I can NOT stand the gym. Monday tends to be the day I can't stand it. Mondays make a lot of things difficult to stand.

6:12 am: There is nothing on the front porch. So Amazon did not deliver in the middle of the night, I didn't really think they had, but it was the first annoying thing that popped into my head. I guess it's also annoying that Amazon did not fulfill their delivery promise. 

7:10 am: Kids up and getting ready for school. Something must have happened to my husband in the half of an hour that he has been awake because he is in a mood. Maybe it's Monday getting to him too. Curse you Monday.

9:04 am: Back from the grocery store, I spent 90 dollars and got a measly three bags of groceries, prices are insane right now. I am working on a essay for The News With No Sound about the Staten Island Amazon warehouse that unionized. 

9:35 am: Off to clean the house and work a little in the yard. Get some chores done so that I can create my dumb TikTok videos and not feel guilty about spending my time doing something so fun.

10:45 am: Filming a new The Baby Gene video for TikTok where he tells us facts about Aloe plants...pokey is going to be one of the facts. Of course.

11:05 am: Husband is asking me to start getting my lunch ready so we can eat together before he has to head off to work. He is definitely feeling Monday. Going back to work after a week off is not easy for anyone. I feel like when he is gone at work and the kid is still at school my true vacation time begins.

1:36 pm: Leaving early to pick up the kid from school so I can stop by the Kohl's to return a couple of very disappointing Amazon orders. This is a heavy Amazon post today. Also, the library is nagging me to return the first season of The Mindy Project.

3:45 pm: Back from picking the kid up from school. Made us some snacks and now I am sitting down to do some writing. I have seen any interesting stories to write about today. Maybe I should just write something on my own.

8:12 pm: Trying to figure out how to keep my kid from being able to watch whatever he wants on HBO Max, I have the parental controls set up, but somehow he is watching movies on my profile. On HBO that can be a dangerous place to be, although, the history shows me everything anyone watches, so I'll at least know if he is watching something inappropriate. Then we get to have a fun conversation about it.
