Day Off

Well, I didn’t nearly as much done as I wanted to, in fact I barely got anything done. It didn’t help that my sinus have been acting up the last few days and the smoke from the fires sure in hell don’t help. So when they are acting up, I feel like I want to sleep cuz my head has that cotton ball feeling….yuck

I never got to lay out today. One of the neighbors had someone working on their roof and I sure don’t feel like giving them a show. It was also cloudy out. We were suppose to get very much needed some rain. We never did, but they did north of us where the fires are, so they got it where it was really needed. So we went shopping and got a few things for when my folks & the kids come down.

Since it was just a little overcast we did jump into the pool once the roof guys were gone. Of course the sun came out a few hours before sundown……….lol

Will someone please…

Nominate me for “EBay’er of the year”?

I do not use EBay often; maybe 30 times over the last 3 years but when I do buy something 9 times out of 10 I will just use the “Buy Now” feature since I hate waiting to see if I have the winning bid. I normally make sure I am getting a good deal and make sure I can’t get what I want at a store for the same price.

Today I wanted to get 2 Xbox controllers so the kids will all be able to play games at once, I find 2 new ones for $10.05 and $14.95 in shipping and handling which I thought was a good deal, as I am pay for them I see the seller is also in Florida so I also have to pay 6% tax which is no biggie.

Now for the “good part”…

As I get my receipt of payment I see the sellers address is 2.5 miles from me… and it is a game store…. So I paid $15 in shipping when I could have spent $4 in gas and got them today.

Sigh….
