Thank you amazon.ca

There was much bitching and moaning in the House of Mandragora when temaris' DVDs of Due South Seasons 1 and 2 arrived at Chez Tem on Friday. 'Cos I'd ordered them at around the same time she had, earlier even, but mine hadn't arrived.

Turned out that they had, and I suspect that they were shipped in the same packet from Canada. Wonder what the person checking the packing thought about two dS season 1 and 2 DVDs going to the UK. They probably didn't realise that the two addresses are geographically close, though *g*.

Unfortunately for me, the Post Office/Consignia/Royal Mail (pick whatever name they're going by this week) didn't get round to attempting to deliver the parcel to my part of London until Friday afternoon. When I was at work. And the parcel was too big to go through the letter box. So, they left a note instead, asking me to go to the local sorting office to pick up the parcel. Which I didn't get to see until I was on the way out of the house on Saturday to go the hairdressers. The result was that by the time I got out of the hairdressers the sorting office was closed (closes at 12 noon on a Saturday). (Hair is looking a lot better than it was, BTW.)

I've now picked the parcel up. When I've got no time to watch the DVDs. Sigh.

I did think it might be my parcel from amazon.co.uk, which I was promised within 3 to 5 working days. That would be two weeks ago... Looks like I've got the same problem as stageira with amazon.co.uk. Or maybe it's the UK postal service.

In other news I have an ear infection. Foolishly I waited to go to the doctor's a week after the first symptoms, consisting of shooting pains up one side of my head, appeared. I'm now on antibiotics - again - which should clear it up in due course but the pain is particularly bad today. Have just gulped down some paracetamol in the hope this will lessen the pain.

And, I faxed a form requesting appointment for tests for the cause of my anaemia about 3 weeks ago. Have just received message from the hospital saying that they can't read the form properly and can I post it... *would bang head against wall, except that, well, ear infection*

I am so tired of being tired. And sick. I'm beginning to forget what it felt like being healthy.

Now back to drafting a proof of evidence.

Eldritch promise to send stuff in 28 days, but both my sword and dr_paradox's staff are late. My sword took 2 1/2 months, and Andy's staff has so far taken about six weeks... Still no sign...

Sucks.

Still no sign of my amazon.co.uk package, which is now 10 days overdue.

Many thanks for the healing vibes. Ear is still hurting but not (I think) as much.

Glad to read that you're not feeling too bad atm.

Yay! You have dvds!

Take care of yourself with the ear -- nothing to muck about with. You have my sympathy, my last ear infection was sixteen years ago and I remember the pain like it was yesterday.

Thanks for the hugs and sympathies. Ear still hurts, but I'm cautiously optimistic. Have spent most of the week working at home so as not to put pressure on the ear (so to speak).

Belated hugs at you, hon. Hope you and your DVDs have finally met up. XXXA

DVDs are here, but haven't watched them yet. Many thanks for the hugs, and the pain doesn't seem to be quite as bad today.
