Harriet, sorry your day was so chopped up.
We also had a visitor, but this one was nice. DSiL came by himself (kids were still sleeping at his brothers) because he wanted to pick up the wallet one of the boys left. His Mom had already taken it home with her. But we were able to sit and have a nice quiet conversation, something we weren't able to do on Thanksgiving.
I was still in my PJ's because I was so tired and slept in a long while this morning. I felt better after that.
But what a day. One thing DH has been wanting, we waited for the sale today, so we went out hunting for it. 9 stores later and we still didn't find it. Found a similar one for a better price but the checkout lady said the clerk had misunderstood the price on the shelf (it was in the wrong spot) and that expensive thing went right back...
So I began looking online until the UPS truck came with an envelope bearing a check inside.
which made no sense to me or to DH. I did a bunch of searching online, looked up the company, the bank, the place that sent it... still no clue. Called one place I'd found the number for and he said I'd have to call back when they were back on Monday. Other 2 numbers I called were closed for the holiday.
I may have figured it out but still not sure. I'd sent a paper back a few weeks ago about some class action lawsuit...and expected a $5 check back but got this one instead, if that's what it is.
No explanation came with the check. Nothing. So Merry Christmas to us, I guess, as the check appears to be real with all the security stuff on it.
Back to one of the stores tonight to peer at the empty shelf again for DH's product... and we came home and ordered it online (crossing fingers we don't need to return this heavy thing) and got a good deal and DH is finally happy. Oh My. Preserve me from ever shopping with DH like this again.
Also bought a renewal for our anti virus which is up the end of the month, and it was on sale $5 / year instead of $100 / year so I got 5 years' worth... and our computer sure better last that long!
As you can imagine, traffic was horrible, stores were beyond crowded, and I'm glad to be done with all that.
I have sheets in the dryer and towels in the washer. Getting the house back to normal. I think I'll take another break.
