Tom, my neighbors used to dump their trash on my property. and they would steal my trash cans.
CJ, very nice work. Mr Roachie is cute.
So, as I suspected, Fedex refused to deliver yesterday for the FIFTH time. I finally threw in the towel. I told Fedex to pound sand and that I was done waiting for their empty promises of deliveries. The CS people told me they reached out to the center in Lake Charles (which is where my package kept being loaded on the van from and then taken back to repeatedly) but that they wouldn't respond. Said they could not get in touch with the driver to find out the reason for the lack of delivery. Claimed the package was showing as being scanned when put in the van and scanned when returning but no explanation as to why the driver was not attempting delivery. Before I gave up I asked if they could arrange a different delivery location that wasn't an hour away (their nearest location is an hour away) but they told me only the sender could change that. So I contacted Samsclub about it and they said they could not change the delivery location once it was sent. So I told them screw Fedex, I want a replacement item sent to my friend's house. His address is already on file with them bc I sometimes have them send Ensure to his house. I also requested photographic proof of delivery bc last time they didn't deliver to his house and I had to re-order.
Meanwhile, my friend contacted me that CLECO cut his electricity off without warning. He hadn't even received a bill. He called them and they said "Your bill is due today" and they shut the power off at 9am. It was supposed to autopay via ApplePay or something but it didn't go through and they tacked on a $200+ reconnect fee that he couldn't afford. So I went and got $ from the bank to give him to pay it. He rode with me, but before he got in my truck he reached into the dark fridge and grabbed a Monster. He thought it was the energy drink but he grabbed the alcoholic one by mistake. He said it tastes exactly the same. He chugged the entire can in seconds, then he looked at it and realized he drank the wrong one and got tipsy. He started giggling a bit, singing, and being silly. So after I went to the bank and post office (they are right near each other) I took him to McDonalds to get some food. He got himself a Big Breakfast and a large coffee. Then I took him to the IGA place to pay his electric bill. Took 20+ min to turn power back on. I sat with him and decided to hang out and drive him to his urology appointment as I didn't want him driving after he drank alcohol. Plus he was sore from moving heavy arcade machines the day before.
Thing didn't take too long at the urology place, but it was hard to find. It was behind a hotel. Very interesting decor inside. Tiny brass doorknobs, horizontal wood boards for walls & ceiling, rustic wood beams, an 1970s looking sofa, some armchairs, windows with shutters on the inside, wooden valances with curtain rods (but no curtains), & brick floors.
The coat rack looked neat. Best with sound off. I didn't realize I was making noises. I filmed high in one spot to avoid filming patients.
Took my friend to Taco Bell after. I don't eat there bc it doesn't sit well with my stomach. He bought nacho fries for Mom but they were cold by the time I got home. she also said they were too spicy. Dropped him off at home (after popping in to see his fiance and daughter) and came home. Cooked for Mom and am now playing around on the internet.
