    We’re just over two weeks into the new year and I already feel like I need a break.

    As we were leaving this morning, I looked for the package from Amazon that was marked as delivered but which I hadn’t received. I figured some porch pirates picked it up so I was a bit pissy during the drive to work. When I got to work, I placed another order for the same things, a drill bit and box of screws. I added in some woodworkers double-sided tape to help make myself feel better.

    The woodworkers double-sided tape and drill bit were a same-day delivery, and the screws should be delivered tomorrow. Luckily, I got today’s delivery.

    When I went to put my bag down in the office at home, I noticed a package on the floor, where I keep all of my deliveries, that looked like the package I was supposed to have received yesterday. It was the package that was supposed to be delivered yesterday.

    I had no idea that I picked it up and put it in my office.

    What I really should’ve ordered today was wire strippers. I’ll do that tomorrow morning.
