Tuesday:

So, yes, i will pony up $5 a month so maybe i won't miss aurora IN MY BACKYARD.

Aurora in MEXICO???!! https://spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=24&month=04&year=2023

And my pepper seedlings have been tortured by the low temps. I don't expect 40°F last night so i didn't think to bring in the seedlings, much less follow the advice at https://www.sandiaseed.com/blogs/news/can-peppers-survive-40-degree-weather . I don't think i've ruined the plants. I hope. I've got to start bringing the seedlings in at night and i'll cover the peppers and tomato plant i set out. Hopefully by the time i can't carry things, the seed dome will be sufficient. I should have thought to get that out already.

On itching notes, i have a long red welt along my clavicle. I've no idea what caused it. My ankles and feet are achy. Am i in some flare? Ugh.

Wednesday am:

The plants finally arrived late afternoon, worse for wear. I wrote the vendor, and he wants me to see if they bounce back. Which, OK. It's not clear he can get FedEx to cover the loss, and it's REALLY CLEAR who screwed up here. My sister said that it sounded like the FedEx people were willing to say anything to excuse their screwups, like a teenager testing lies with their parents to see what sticks.

I really think my life is rubbing off on people I associate with
My anniversary gift arrived today - a new bed!! It's a captain's bed with storage drawers and I love it
one problem, not all the parts came with it so the assemblers took it back to the warehouse and now my mattress and box spring is on the floor.
Of course Amazon wont do anything about it either.
and then there was the freezer crap - damaged on the dock and no notice given to me, had to wait another 10 days for that to arrive, Costco said not their fault (and it really wasn't) so nothing to help there either

I'm holding my thumbs for the plants, but so much more for you.
