Otherwise, I hope to clear out few things from the house and finish getting some areas in order again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 (edited) Good morning! Cooler and cloudy here today. We need rain! I have made coffee and started a load of laundry. And talked with Ds about schedule/calendar. Still really enjoying not being mom-taxi! Today: Mail a shirt to Dd. ✔️ Work on church midweek curriculum and give it to our admin assistant for printing/copying/assembling. Chat with the graphics person about a cover. File SS curriculum and follow up with facilities mgr about locked file cabinet. Final VBS clean up/put away. Figure out dinner. Something with the pulled chx I have, probably a salad since Ds will be at work. He can take a sandwich. Bible study tonight.

TheReader Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Took care of some emails re-emailed the customer service - the package that "shipped" on Monday finally showed an update as of last night and is set to arrive late Saturday. :sigh: I emailed letting them know I'd really expected better, given that I paid for priority shipping, and requesting at least a refund of the difference in shipping costs. We'll see. At least it's on the way. Got Week 6 printed & organized for 1st & 2nd; DH is napping, so waiting to print K until he's up (printer is in the bedroom and noisy) Prepped a thing to mail to someone in a different group I'm in Going to go ahead and make the rice krispies so they are ready when Oldest is up and going 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Dd checked on her scholarships in the college portal and everything is good. There was just a “terms and conditions” sort of info box that she hadn’t checked. She just didn’t see it the first time. Tricky to do these things on a phone instead of the larger laptop screen. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 @history-fan, that's a cool bird! Thanks for sharing. More door drama: the threshold isn't the right size. The company didn't bother to tell us that even thought we were ordering their biggest door jamb size that they cannot make the threshold that size. Our workers have been formulating a plan B and are starting to put it into place. @mommyoffive, we did order a different style door, but the transom window is staying or we would have to redo the rock. We are considering a different color for the door like a blue but might stick with red. The subfloor under the door was rotted out. Thankfully, this is a steel frame house or the floor joists probably would have been rotted, too. We need to replace the door onto our deck because the deck is flush with the door and water splashes on it all the time. I think there are subfloor problems there, too. All the new doors will be fiberglass to help protect with the water issues. We are getting a gutter guy to come out and help us consider a different style gutter guard that would help with the flow of water, too. We have a lot of trees. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Oh, that sounds like a lot of drama from the door. Sorry the company didn't disclose the issue with the threshold - hopefully it's not too hard of a fix! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Oldest got safely off. Played a bit more of my video game and ate lunch. Unpacked our Prime Day order - new ink cartridge, some new games (well, expansions to games we own), headset for Middle. Nothing too exciting. Heard back from the company - they think it's fine and completely within the quoted timeline that my package was delayed so long from shipping label printed to actually arriving at the origin facility. Still within the stated total amount of days from "usually ships w/in" and "delivery takes" so they see no issue, even though *three full business days* of that were the package sitting, label created, package not picked up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Got lots done at work. Stopped at the neighborhood farmers’ market in the way home to get peaches. Also got some honey and a couple condiments - peach siracha and hot maple syrup. Love sweet n spicy here! Prices at the market are high, but I like supporting small businesses and don’t splurge there often. Made a yummy chx wrap for dinner. Moved the laundry. About to get ready to go to Bible study. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
