I'm still awake because I have so much to do before I leave for San Diego with my sister and niece in the morning.

Like, I've been working on my accounting homework for the last 3 hours because I won't be in class tomorrow, but my professor has assured me that the textbook and the lecture we had on Monday were enough to help me complete the assignment.

So far, I'm not so sure about that. I've gotten the assignment 90-95% complete, but I'm not sure if it's correct. I'm going to work on it for another hour or so with a classmate before calling it a night and submitting the assignment before I leave Wednesday morning.

UPS has me bummed out. I ordered clothes from Old Navy on March 18 and they have a delivery service where you can pick your delivery location/date. So I picked delivery to a UPS store (to avoid UPS having problems getting into my building) and delivery to happen on Monday. That would give me time to make sure the clothes fit or to return them to a store and put together some other outfits for the trip.

However... the weather conspired against me and the package wasn't going to be delivered until today, March 30...then it got pushed to the end of the day on March 31...when I'd already be on my way or in San Diego when it was delivered to the UPS store!

So now I'm scrambling to put together some other outfits, which let me tell you is nerve-racking!, and my sister decides to text me that she plans on "dressing up a bit" for dinner Wednesday night so I should bring something to change into for dinner.

Let me tell you I wanted to cry in frustration. One of the things I ordered from Old Navy was a dress that I could have worn to dinner (originally planned on wearing it on the drive down) and then I could have found something in my closet to wear for the drive down...but nooo. so I had to pull out a dress that will match the shoes I'm taking and get some jewelry. But I'm literally second-guessing everything.

In all of this, I also have to make my room decent because Kim's sister, Colleen, is going to be staying the night while I'm gone. I bought a mattress cover that's supposed to add "18 inches of cushion" so it will be something not lumpy for Colleen (and myself) to sleep on.

I also have to break down more shipping boxes to take to the dumpster in the morning when I take out the trash...oh and hide my...toys...before leaving as well. I don't know if Colleen will snoop or not and I'd just rather not worry about it.

back to stressing about what clothes to take while I wait for a classmate to come back online so that we can work on this assignment before we both go to bed.

Happy Tuesday night/Wednesday morning!

Last week, the Gov of California made it to where those who get EBT would be able to use their benefits for grocery delivery through places like Amazon Fresh and Walmart.

I live across the street from a Super Walmart using them for delivery hasn't been an option.

Okay. I'll try Amazon Fresh.

Late Saturday night, I went grocery shopping with Amazon Fresh. While I wasn't able to find everything I wanted/needed (likely because of the late time I which I was shopping and I was just lazy to really search), I did get enough things to hold me over for the next 3 days.

This was just a test run to see if it would be worth it vs going to the store I'd been going to for the last 3 weeks or so.

So, I had my virtual shopping cart with 17 items, my delivery date and time picked (Monday, May 4 between 7am-9am), my EBT card info was put in, PIN put in and verified...now all that was left to do was wait.

And wait I did.

Sunday before going to bed I see my alarm for 7am (normally I get up at 9:30).

Six hours later I'm up with my alarm. I did my morning routine and went outside to wait. I wasn't expecting to be the first delivery, but since I live in a gated complex, I needed to be there to let the person in. I waited outside for about 15 mins, before going back inside.

I did the same thing about 8am. This time, I got a text saying my delivery was on the way and would be there before 8:45. Cool. I went back inside and waited.

Text message came at 8:30. Delivery was waiting and needed to know a safe place to leave it. Oh no. Lizet doesn't leave deliveries outside. Not in this neighborhood or apartment building. I went down to let them in and my 4 bags were placed on the steps. I went to get my trusty folding shopping cart to load the bags in so I wouldn't have to wake multiple trips.



I wish I would have taken pics of how things were packaged but that's okay. Everything I purchased was there and eventually put away. (I have strawberries waiting to be cleaned and cut up).

Excellent! I like this process. I think I'm going to do it again, but maybe not such an early delivery that requires me getting up early.

PS I set up another delivery for Wedensday afternoon.
