Friday, December 17th, 2021 08:50 pmSenior moments, senior moments. Come across an ad on FB for precooked Christmas dinners at a reasonable price, order the turkey dinner plus extra beet salad on the side, tip to delivery guy and delivery charge add another $25 but fine, I check out. Receive confirmation email, which says I've only ordered the beet salad and it will still cost $33. Somehow I didn't order the turkey? Go back to wp, discover you must specify quantity, which do, check out-- and am charged again for tip and delivery. If they don't refund that this is going to be one pricey meal. But 'all orders are final' so no changes allowed.
Ah well, the city didn't deduct my property tax this month because of (I assume) the Poor Elderly rebate, so I have money to play with. But can't remember whether they said delivery on 23 or 24th. Can't remember the restaurant's name, just that it has café in the title and is one of the famous ones down on... Queen St? College St? because of course I've never been there. Emails don't name the restaurant, but use some kind of mailing service instead. So back to FB I go, which should be offering me scads of Christmas dinner places, but for once the algorithm is smugly silent. So I scroll through a dozen pages and finally get the ad. Free Times Cafe, on the 24th. So Christmas Eve Day I shall be at home, because who wants to shop on the 24th anyway?
Loblaw's may be almost as evil as amazon but they were selling Theraband rollers, like rolling pins but for muscles. Ordered one because I'm going to do myself a mischief if I keep getting into odd positions trying to use the regular foam rollers. It's about 21 inches/ 53 cm long and thinner than a rolling pin but it still came in a box 2ft by 3/ 61x91.5 cm. Ah well. And it does get at those odd places, even if it's sometimes awkward. In any case, better than the wooden rolling pin, which stuck and squeaked, being as it is at least 50 years old.
