The Real Boss

Inspirational song: Dead Flowers (The Rolling Stones)

Dammit, I don't want to like Amazon Prime. But here I am, a week and a half into the trial period, and I'm kinda digging it. I got it for the video portion, hoping I could get some live sports that way. So far I have watched the recent Dungeons and Dragons movie (again) and if I can ever pin down Mr S-P for a few hours, we can watch Good Omens season 2. I kept saying I'd try out that whole free expedited shipping part of it, but since I'm on a six month partial no-buy, I didn't know if I would. My daughter messaged me yesterday, and said she was ready to transition Dmitri to the same kind of sippy cup that his sister still likes to use, and would I get some in a different color. She sent a link. It was really freaking convenient to immediately click add to cart and not have to come up with $10.25 more stuff to add in to get free one-week or more delivery. 24 hours later, the sippy cups were at my house and my daughter came over to get them. Crap. I really liked that.

I'm fairly certain I've mentioned before the meme that says the real big boss fight in any adult D&D campaign is scheduling. We lost that fight again today. It was supposed to be game night tonight. Then one person picked up a shift at work. Then another had a doctor's appointment that left them feeling like poop. Then another, who is taking some college classes this semester, said they needed to focus on homework. It's so frustrating, but it is a universal problem. I guess it's just as well, though. I wore myself out cleaning up before the washer repairman arrived, and then running errands in the afternoon. I was okay doing nothing tonight.

One of my errands was to pick up my business cards. I started with a very basic card, no busy graphics or slick paper. Just the pertinent information and my beautiful logo my daughter and I created. Below I have blocked out the phone and email. I'm fine with giving that to potential clients, but not to plaster it on the internet. I do have an occasional line in the sand.
